Alright, I don't think we can answer every question here. But thanks everyone for the suggestions. We do read them and will definitely try to get some of them in, as we always strive to give the best game possible.

Not right now. Unique playoff modes are complicated (making sure the exact number of teams are in, getting the full scheduling working, making sure we know how teams advance to the next round, etc...). We may look to add more formats at some point - I know the KBO step-ladder system has been asked for by a bunch of people, so if we are to add a new one, that's probably first on the list.

We're still fine-tuning the system, but the main way is we'll have a flag in the player strategy whether to consider someone as a two-way player. That way, when the AI is building lineups or managing in-game, we'll look to use that player. There's other changes too (we've tweaked the fatigue model so that a batter may be fatigued the day after he starts, but he'll be able to bat fine a couple days later, like Ohtani has and is expected to do).

Maybe the crappy SS who only had 800 hits in his career ends up becoming a 4x World Series winning Manager and gets rightfully inducted.

Not right now, but we'll think about it. It would require a couple other changes that we don't handle right now, but I know people have asked about this a fair amount.
