OOTP 25 Wish List

I play solo - sim - control all teams. Playing since OOTP4 - off and on Beta tester over the years... Game has come a long way since then!

Some of these things I have been asking for for years :-)

1. Almanac Auto Generation - right now it happens at the end of the calendar year - created bogus information such as team rosters - because players retire when season ends - the almanac needs to generate the day after the last game of the World Series - before firings and retirements.

2. (I have been asking for this since OOTP8 or so?) A way to "gray out" the Clone, Delete and Retire options on a player. A setting?

I hate accidently cloning a player and really hate cloning a bunch of them at once. I really hate deleting a player and not realizing it. I have to go try to fix my mouse mistakes.

3. A pop-up when any player is on the Injured List but is available from being taken off the list. I get a message for 1 player but sometimes more than 1 team has a player eligible on the same day. During off-season we get message "can't be on IL during offseason" so can I have a "player can no longer be on IL" when I hit 'next day' during the season?

4. Please don't allow a player to be on one team and in the front office of another one. If a player is also a coach/manager, the ability to make sure they are never on two different teams? John McGraw for example? One ID instead of 2, that has both their playing and managing/coaching information?

5. Managers' Won-Less records needs to be only their record as a MLB manager. Not the team's record when they are a coach.....

6. When owner sends you their Season Outlook, Mid-Season report and Review of Season Goals can you add the team name? I have no idea what owner owns which team after the owner's name

7. Transactions Logs have released and placed on active roster but not signed or drafted...

8. Very Picky graphics issue - LOL!

Runner at third needs to be in foul territory - if ball hits him in fair territory he is out.

Markus, this game has come a long ways since OOTP4! You have provided me with hours and hours of fun, capturing my youth playing Strat-O-Matic baseball with this awesome game.

Some bugs

1. In League History, Awards, some award winners' Stats are not there. Seems to happen if team they are on moved after that season was over. Can I also get avg/slg/ops HR RBI instead of HR WAR, pitching W-L ERA, IP Ks instead of WAR.

2. If two teams tie at end of the year the manager of the winning team, even though they made the World Series, are not shown as qualifying for the playoffs that year. The AI just fired a manager that just went to back to back World Series and lost both of them - LOL!

3. If game ends on a fielders choice where no out was recorded in the bottom of the inning the pitcher is credited for 1/3 of an inning even though that out was not recorded.
