The pitcher endurance, should NOT refer to innings... it should instead refer to pitchers. There is no way a 30 pitch struggle in the first pitching should be as taxing as a 5 pitch inning.
Some more personal interaction with my players would be a nice feature. I'm not sure how much more information we could get from the minors mangers, currently they're main job is development.
We need to have the entire scouting/coaching ratings revamped though. The actual skill of coaches/scouts currently starts at a level and only goes up, never down. This creates an inbalance in the quality of coaches/scouts available. Furthermore how can you accurately assess a coaches exact skill leve? You can't and it's ridiculous for a human to see that this coach is skill level 10 (LEGENDARY), etc. Is Joe Torre a much better manager now then he was with the Mets? Or is it partially the quality of the players on both teams? We can't really say for sure his exact "skill" but he has a reputation that is built on the performance of his club. This is how the scouts and coaches need to be rated, on reputation.
The reputation will change and adjust based on the performance of the team in the area he's coaching at. See that Hitting Coach with the great reputation.... well take a shot with him, but recognize that maybe that reputation came from coaching in Colorado the last 5 years. See the guy with an Unknown reputation? Give him a shot if you dare... maybe he'll turn out to be great, you won't know until you see how your team reacts. The reputation adjustment can be set based on the teams overall performance and rank overall. Coach Skill levels shouldn't really fluxuate all that much and certainly shouldn't just go sky high forever... by keeping them hidden and only showing the coaches reputation you make hiring coaches much more realistic and even make it so that it might not be exploitative to allow coach re-signings.
