I know OOTP is a simulation-based game. Most people don't manage and play every game pitch by pitch. But some do. I often find myself managing playoff games so I ensure the right pitching changes and so forth are made. However, I would self-manage games more if it were more detailed.

I used to play Baseball Mogul when I was younger and I LOVED their in-game capabilities. Instead of having it be "Pitch," you selected the type and location of the pitch. On offense, there was the same kind of thing. You could guess the type of pitch and location and a few other options. (Who knows if there algorithm was accurate, but it was so satisfying guessing the right location and pitch and being able to impact the game that way).

The in-game animations of OOTP have improved similar to Baseball Mogul where you can see the ball hit and game action/animations, but I think there can be more. There's MLB pitch data and tendencies from pitchers. There's stats for players who are fastball hitters or players who struggle against the breaking ball.

Having pitch breakdowns and more freedom with in-game managing would be a cool addition. Hopefully this made sense!
