as with almost every GM feature added to the game in the last 5 years it feels like a few days of work was put on it and then essentially no more thought added to it since

lol yeah there are about a dozen of us or so who end up eventually saying exactly the same thing on almost every thread it feels like.
And the funny thing is I'm all for those feature but I've found myself turning more and more off in OOTPb 21 because they eventually just much something up for the AI.
I've removed owners control budget and storylines after the charity storyline nerfs market size. And I am really close to removing owner goals just because they are so absurd that it's starting to not be entertaining having them.
Also real close to disabling personality and chemistry. Just because for the most part its static. I've think I've seen players flip personality types but its either so rare or I was hallucinating that it basically doesn't exist. And it requires no interaction from us the human so why bother with it. You are telling me I get a 16 year old with bad work ethic and there is nothing I can do to improve it? Even after 5-8 years by the time he is ready for the show?
If players can't gain and flip personalities dynamically why bother? If us the human can't try to impact them why bother with it? It then becomes a useless mechanic after enough versions. Same players every year will have the same traits. So all it does is make you avoid those players.
Over time it just becomes flat and stale. Like 4 or 5 versions ago I am like ok this cool. Then by XX I was so sick of it being the same I only played perfect team. Now I'm more hours into 21 then I had in XX but I am getting disgusted with so many mechanics.
I see why all of the sports media that are running "Sim" ootpb seasons turn all of that stuff off. Or why a section of the players are just sitting back and crunching the sim numbers and not worrying about the "gm management simulation" side of things.
And it does really appear everyone who plays out there games and is focusing on that part of baseball and OOTPb is loving 21. While the one's like us who are looking for a GM management simulation are growing more disgusted and disappointed with each new version that comes out.
