Not at all. I'm simply trying to point out the cake has a lot of layers (this cake is NOT a lie!) and as a result it needs to be thought out carefully. I don't want to see a situation where an implementation is rushed in, only to find out later that certain improvements are hard or impossible because they weren't considered in the initial implementation structure.

I'm saying it's better to come up with a solid plan and all its facets and then implement things (in stages if need be) according to that plan. That way all the pieces are part of a larger, coherent whole, and fit together with little problem.

Be mindful of the law of unintended consequences—all these deep minors get added but then the AI has no idea how to manage them. I have a hard time seeing how that will ultimately improve many users' experience. (There are arguably already issues with how OOTP handles multiple affiliates in the same minor league classification level, and multiple affiliates at the same level is much more common in the past.)


ETA: If we all want to sit down and thrash out a list of all the things that need to be considered, how these items will work together, and ways to accomplish the goal, then formulate a bullet pointed memo laying it out, that alone would be a good step forward as it provide a good outline of a plan.
