What updates or changes have been made to historical replay mode?

Here are a few necessary tweaks I’m hoping that were added to the game

Historical accurate owners and front offices: If you start in 1976 with the New York Yankees, you should start with George Steinbrenner as the owner, Billy Martin as the manager, and so on and so forth.

If you are playing a historical reenactment, the front offices, trainers, scouts, and coaching staffs should accurately reflect a given year. And those changes should carry over every subsequent season.

Historical Transactions: An override feature. You should be able to alter historical transactions from the database. For example, prevent the Detroit Tigers from trading John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander.
Maybe the Reds draft Derek Jeter this time around. The fun thing about Historical mode is the butterfly effect. There should be a way to make subtitle changes while still being able history closely.

Those are the two glaring issues I have with the mode. And fixing both of those issues would make this game almost perfect. Perhaps these issues were already addressed. Just something I think that would enhance the playing experience.
