One thing I miss from the older versions of OOTP is that you used to be able to have a manager - and coaches, named but who did nothing, so you still ran the team. So you could go to retired players on that list and hire say Jackie Robinson or Yogi Berra to manage your team, instead of you being listed as the manager as it has been for 3-4 iterations now, which takes something out of the suspension of disbelief. Also the owners- since so many of the teams had the same owner or family owning them for decades in the 20th Century, it would have been very simple to just list Connie Mack, etc. as owners, and even in the George Steinbrenner era only a few major changes took place in ownership, certainly not a burdensome amount of data to have included instead of the fictional owners.
