But given what they've already developed, I think this is something that they can probably do.

Right now I play with warming up pitchers off so it's all a moot point to me anyway, haha but these guys are obviously really good at this exact type of thing given what OOTP is. Yeah, I'm sure we'd b*tch about it being flawed or not being as smooth as we'd want on first release lol, but I bet it's doable and within 1 or 2 years of refining it I bet it becomes pretty damn good.
I can only speak for me but I have never said impossible. I just don't think it's worth the development time and the annual 50 threads started every year saying how it's "unrealistic" or "so obviously broken" etc. etc. etc.. And that will happen even if it works perfectly.


I imagine they have put thought into it and how they would do it. Nothing has come of it, yet. That's not saying it won't and if it does? Great!
