We run a league that is on a daily schedule, and we'd probably use the H2H play for playoff games or something like that to start with. It would be unrealistic to expect folks to be around for every game in a 162 season, but it would be a travesty to have online H2H play added and it not work with online leagues. It's really the Holy Grail for online leagues, and they'll figure out how to implement in their leagues.
I like the "Play Now Online" version of this, but wow...you guys would be hitting on something very special if you did something like Diamond Dynasty in MLB The Show:
Battle Royale - Allows players to draft a team that lasts for a week or for a set number of wins/losses. You'd need to keep an updated roster database, and even include "legends" or heck, just anyone rated at least a "good" player could randomly appear in a draft.
Traditional Diamond Dynasty - You'd need some sort of market setup like MLB The Show, and I'm sure there are other ways to make it unique and not too similar to MLB The Show.
I've said for a good year now, MLB The Show and OOTP are so close in game quality. I actually prefer OOTP Baseball as I feel the Show has turned into the hare in the sports game race. I also believe that OOTP is closer to delivering the total package of baseball to fans (graphics, etc.) than MLB The Show is to bringing the total package (realism).
I guess the last question is what is the market for something like this for a computer game? It's definitely there for console.
