I like these 2 - though I might prefer an option to merge the Owner & Manager instead of GM.
I also still want to see improvements to the Team History: specifically, all-time records vs opponents (including separate playoffs section).
I would also like to see an option for team Rivals: Games against rivals could have following effects: Owner more upset with losses (owner goals); higher attendance, increased chance of brawl/ejections, more likely to generate news story; more difficult to trade with rivals/harder to sign free-agents from a rival team.
Improved News functions: Options to choose statistical levels at which a story is generated. For instance, currently, a majority of shutouts generate stories (not great in the '70's or pitching era's) or any time a player gets 5 hits (even 5 singles in an extra inning game). However, no story is generated if a player steals 4 bases in a game, or hits 5 doubles (or league records for that type of single game stat).
