Right now, you can get a job as a GM or Manager, but I wonder if OOTP might be the lone game that could offer an executive equivalent to "Road to the Show." I'm not sure exactly what it would look like, but I think it could offer a really fun and new dynamic for the game.

You could start as either an area scout or a quantitative analyst and be given tasks -- scouting players, giving input on draft picks and transactions, assisting in the establishment of a new organizational mindset (like "The Cardinal Way."). Maybe you are given statcast data to interpret, or you're asked to identify trade targets, or you make recommendations for promotions, extensions, free agents, etc. I don't know. There'd be a lot to flesh out. But, I just think it would be fun to have to earn a job as GM.

Would also love to see more in-depth hirings in the front office. Would much rather hire a Farm Director or Director of Player Development than a hitting coach for the rookie league squad.
