OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Few simple features that I think OOTP 21 cannot be released without

I think this game could massively improve if we could see why assistant GM's, trainers, and scouts have the reputations they have.

For example, I want to know why scouts have a legendary reputation. Perhaps there could be a tab that shows best drafted players, best amateur IFA's, and best prospects acquired through trade. While this will share similarities with the Assistant GM and I think ideas for this are the least obvious, perhaps best FA acquisitions or most efficient FA acquisitions.

Assistant GMs we should be able to see most efficient trades, biggest trade wins, biggest trade losses, least efficient extensions, most efficient extensions, etc..

Trainers we should be able to see days spent on the DL throughout the system and major leagues. Perhaps there could be a feature that lets you see "Trainer X helped team X play 130 games five years in a row after injury riddled seasons prior."

I think this also applies to hitting coaches and pitching coaches. Let us see players who have ran through their system.

All of this stuff you could do manually if you try hard enough and I know some of you do this, but 99% of don't want to manually do this. Especially for a game that is so dependent on odds/good luck/bad luck.

Finally (and the addition I'd like to see the most) I think the last thing that should be implemented is a better draft history tab. Similar to what we have in the team history tab with batting/pitching register and starting positional/pitching history, we should have top tens for draft classes with most WAR produced, games played, PA's etc. Maybe there could be a "link" on each draft class that sends you through to the profiles to each player who spent a day on an MLB roster. That link should include an already calculated total of MLB games played, PA's, IP, WAR, etc.

I think for many of us we already have a shortlist of drafted prospects who made the MLB and for many of us it becomes the largest shortlist. I know every five years or so I run through previous draft classes and add them to the shortlist.

Best part of these additions is how easy I'm guessing it'd be for the developers to add these features
