I hope the current era players have most of what they want, the last few versions have catered to that demographic, so I'd like to see a concentrated effort to improve historical simulations

I have many more than these, but these, I think are easier to implement

Manager tendencies

We need Pitching Leveraging, this is how a manager uses his top SP compared to his bottom SP. This is why I have the controversial opinion that Mordecai Brown>>>Lefty Grove. Mordecai was used heavily against the top teams in his league (Pirates and Giants) while being used very little vs the 2nd division (that was Pfeister and Overall's job) while Grove got most of his value from facing the 2nd division. This is a must for 1901-1950

Platooning- We have favors left/right, but that is for P, how can I distinguish Stallings from Mack?

Bench use--- Some mangers like Frank Selee used the same players regardless of situation, then George Stallings loved to give guys a break, especially Catchers

Lineup consistency -- We all know Bobby Cox kept his lineup static and let it work itself out, but we know his complete opposite Tony LaRussa would throw names in a hat some days

That's it for managerial tendencies, although I'd like them to be easier to implement and NOT override the GM in personnel choices. I accept the fact I have to make up or use a pseudo GM for the old days not asking for a change there as it would upset modern day performance of the game

ABILITY to force the AI to carry 3 Catchers

In default OOTP it carries 2, but if you have an OFer with C ratings, it will carry one

For 75%+ of baseball's history teams carried 3 catchers, sure some rode their catchers pretty hard, like Frank Selee and Chance but most managers had their main catcher play 100 games, it was a tough position. Just like the ability to pick how many relievers we want, so should it be for C's, even if this is hobbled together by defaulting the backup C as start every 5 days and 3rd catcher to start every 10 I'd be happy

CHEMISTRY --- yes Saber minded people don't believe this exists, but I've read too much about baseball to ignore that sometimes a manger or player helps cement a bad team into a good one. This is meaningless in Free Agency era where guys come and go, but back then, you put a Heinie Zimmerman or hal Chase on your team, doesn't matter how talented they are. This can be turned off just like coaches and would probably be intertwined with player personalities and morale

BRING BACK 0 as universal.

Small request, I liked the fact that all my Vets had 0 as a uniform number, so when I imported rookies, they had uniform numbers and I could edit them easier. Also, if this is implemented, make 0 a non factor so when they are promoted/demoted they stay 0 and do not change to 1

Let us choose a news story when WE kill off an owner or sell a team, not the game itself and let us choose to automatically or manually change owners in the 3 ways it usually happens, death,sale or banned

WORLD.DAT
As much as I am glad I have thousands of cities in Africa to choose from, the fact that Chief Bender,Al Bridwell, TY COBB and others have an unknown city is laughable. Please add every city that every major leaguer was born, it's right on baseball reference

Anyway those are my 'easy' requests
