I realize this isn't actually a player death in-game, but last night I was playing through my fictional league in OOTP 16 and had a league news story come up that a player's wife had died suddenly, and he was going to be out for a month for bereavement. The player was actually a top starting pitcher on a team in contention for the playoffs. And I just had to pause and take a moment, and say DAMN, that's some hard core immersion, right there.
I don't remember ever coming across that story line, before. And have never even considered actual player deaths being in game. But it's still amazing how much immersion those types of storylines add to the whole experience.
