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

I think these are all great ideas. I really like the idea of a draft history section that isn't team specific and is sortable by different stats (WAR, etc) to get a sense of who was the most efficient draft pick and what team drafted best.

One thing you didn't talk about, that I'd also like to see, is more meaning to the managerial positions. We should be able to interact with our own Assistant GM more and get his take on our current roster or receive advice on a player we should target on another team. The Scout should be able to play the same function --- give us a list of his top 20 prospects on another team, as an example, that we can use during trade negotiations and the like.

Also, we should have the ability to be poached and poach coaches on other teams. If the Diamondbacks have a bench coach that I covet as a manager candidate, I should be able to offer him my manager job. Similarly, teams should approach me about becoming their new General Manager if my record for success is good enough. At which point, I should be able to negotiate my contract with the new team and what the owner goals are (at least for the first year) to give me some semblance of control over the organization like a new "big" hire would have.
