OOTP is great. It does fall short in one area however.

If you want to start an expansion team, it's not great. Baseball Mogul (which doesn't hold a candle to OOTP) even has a better historical Expansion start-up.

Having to sim all of 1961 just to start with the 1962 Mets (for example) is frustrating and even then, you are stuck with a bunch of coaches you may not want. It would be really great to be able to start at the Expansion Draft for the historical expansion teams.

I'm also not a huge fan of the Expansion options in modern play. It's nice you can do it before the season starts but I feel the entire process can be improved upon. It doesn't meet the high, very high. insanely high(!!!) standards of the rest of OOTP.

I love the idea of starting a team from scratch and I imagine other people playing a baseball simulator like this would as well? How cool would it be to have the game start right when the team was announced? So you'd have a couple years to get the right people in place?

I don't know. Just some ways to improve the game I love.

Thanks guys!
