Unless they really care about wokeness. But then you risk upsetting the 80% of consumers, who come to play simulators like this to escape that nonsense.

I encourage the OP to make a mod in order to include what the OP desires in the base game. Probably the easiest way until you find a developer who shares your concerns.

I’ll grab more popcorn and watch this thread quickly turn into the usual circle jerk.
I'm a little surprised hearing this coming from a baseball fan, as market inefficiencies have been one of the most talked about features with baseball and is largely what inspired the sabermetrics revolution. Appealing to market forces in the abstract sounds nice, but the reality is that capitalism does not function in that abstract ideal in real life. There is always an intersection of ideal forces with one's effective self-interest that can lead to making inefficient or not-strictly supply/demand decisions in the economic sphere. Even so, in fact, capitalism's most characteristic quality isn't about meeting demand, but about creating demand through the production of new commodities, which in turn generates desire for them.

And I'm sorry, but why would the mere existence of playable women in OOTP upset you? I'm not saying that we need to mandate a woman bats clean-up for the Dodgers or whoever in your dynasty Functionally, there are versions of my request that you would literally never encounter in-game so I'm not sure I understand your harsh reaction unless you're personally against women playing baseball entirely IRL???
