I would LOVE to see a little bit of improvement in the Player of the Game stat (been calling for this for awhile as well). Tracking it would be great, but I also would love the ability to override the game's decision of a Player of the Game, because every once in awhile, it's not the statistically best player.

Example-->
My pitcher pitched 8 innings with like 7 strikeouts and 2 earned runs. When he came out, we were winning 3-2.
In the top of the ninth, the closer gave up a run to tie it up and go to extra innings. Two innings later in the bottom of the 11th, my second baseman who was like 1 for 4 that day went YARD with a walk off homer to win the game.
Afterward, my pitcher was still player of the game because statistically he had a better game, but in real life, the second baseman should have had it.

The AI choosing it is great almost every time, but every once in awhile, you need the human touch and I'd like to be able to override it with a choice of my own
