First, many thanks to all of the developers for creating such a great game. I am playing OOTP since version 9 and still enjoy it, though in the last couple of versions I noticed an increasing amount of very annoying flaws in general gameplay, especially since I play out all my games in one-pitch-mode.

For OOTP 22 and beyond, I would prefer not to see too many flashy new features, but to invest some time into fine-tuning the gameplay to get rid of those flaws. To me, the most annoying things are :

- there are way too many wild pitches, passed balls and hit batsmen if you play out your games. The overall numbers are significantly higher than those you get if you fast sim the games. Errors and balks are also a bit up, but not so dramatically.
- the number of infield hits is also ridiculously high and seems not related to factors like the running speed of the batter ... very slow footed guys also get infield singles on a regular basis. The latter was very much different in earlier versions IIRC.
- the outcome of a base stealing attempt appears to be completety random and has nothing to do with speed/stealing values of the batter or the catcher's arm rating. This also used to be different until app. v17 or 18.
- there are too many blowout games (15+H, 10+R) during the course of a season. hot and cold streaks are also too extreme, for individual players as well as for teams. To me it seems the routines that are aimed to simulate streakiness are running amok a little bit from time to time.

To me, improvements concerning the mentioned problems would be so much more valuable than shiny new features ... just my opinion.
