For me personally, the only thing that I would love to add is a 3D engine that had good enough graphics to where it would be like watching an actual baseball game. My dream version of OOTP would be a game where I could create my fictional universe, and sit down and watch a full baseball game with fictional uniforms/caps/people the whole shebang. Just imagine being able to watch the events unfold in your league with the visuals of MLB the show(although I would gladly settle for PS2 level graphics). If OOTP added these graphics, and allowed for you to control what you see, and how fast the game simulation is, I honestly don't think I'd ever play another game.

I would also love to be able to record my own commentary, or maybe have OOTP hire professional commentators to do all of the voice over work to go along with the new graphics, so it would be more like an actual baseball broadcast. On the other hand, I'm kind of glad OOTP isn't this visually realistic...my life outside of OOTP is hanging on by a thread as is.

I said it in my OOTP 17 review for Operation Sports: this game is closer to being the total package by adding in the visuals than the Show is by adding in the missing realism and depth.
