Thank you for reading and I hope fellow gamers on here will support this request  |
I'm all for including diversity of all sorts in the game. I'm not a programmer, but it seems that it shouldn't be too hard to have an option for fictional leagues to choose male, female, etc. for league makeup.
However, two points about your requests quoted above. For historical women's leagues, there needs to be oodles of data available to build those leagues from. We're lucky that more than 100 years of MLB data exists, which allows those historical leagues and rosters to be created in OOTP. To my knowledge, the required data (outside of team names and player names) does not exist for the few women's leagues that existed.
And for your second request, I'm not sure how OOTP would represent those people. Players in OOTP are essentially a name, a face (if FaceGen is on), a height, weight, hometown and school. The rest is baseball-related info. So I'm curious how you'd have OOTP represent a transgender person when you can't necessarily tell gender from the info currently provided? Does the game add a gender column in the player bio?
