Here are my suggestions

1. Scouting Discoveries. It seems after 2-3 years every teams top prospect is a scouting discovery. I think top international prospects should be the ones in the international signing period and scouting discoveries limited to depth pieces that maybe turn out good. In addition, upgrade the prospect ranking so that guys are higher rated the more data they have. Occasionally you get the draft pick that becomes the number 10 prospect but usually it's guys that have been in the minors awhile and have some sort of track record

2. Trades. I want to see more AI to AI trades as the season progresses. Very rarely do we see teams have the "fire sale" that happens in real life. If it's late July I should see teams in last place start shedding players left and right. And I know it's rough to do but I would like to see a way where we can replicate the ramp up to the deadline and see 20+ trades on that day alone

3. Baserunning. I would much rather have a "green light" as opposed to steal and take a pitch or force runner. This could also tie into pick offs where if a guy has a green light he is more likely to get picked off. This would also limit the number of times guys get picked off who should not be taking leads at all (seeing my 20 speed catcher get picked off is frustrating)

3. Free Agency. I want to see more mega deals and the ability to offer more than 10 years. I am seeing way to many star players settling for 5-6 year deals and maxing out at like $28million per year. I also want to see less rebuilding teams singing star players. I just don't see the Rockies signing Carlos Correa and the Pirates signing Schwarzer. Plus relievers hardly ever get more than a 1 or 2 year deal which is smart but unrealistic. And I think this is tied to owner goals but I feel like every year the dodgers sign so many relievers that they end up releasing guys they signed 2 weeks ago.

4. Minor Leagues. I know this would be tough but I wish we could get Minor league reserve rosters and the minor league portion of the Rule V draft. Also, I know we can set a service time cut off for the minors but teams are actually allowed up to 3 players with more than x amount of service time. This would allow me to send my AAA player on a rehab assignment to Low A.

5. Arizona Fall League. I don't know if this is already in but I want the ability to pick which of my players goes to the Fall League. And maybe implemting the other winter leagues and assigning guys there as well
