I think the patch added several useful features. The trading AI was a bigger negative for me than the other features added, so I reverted back to an old update. I may or may not be in the minority on this and realize not everything is going to go my way so I can accept it. If everyone else is happy with the trading AI, I can learn to live with it.
I agree with the original post that minor league stats should be kept. Something I have been hoping for since v2. Not a show stopper but would be a nice feature to have.
I also would like to support the idea of incorporating the 40 man roster and some form of the rule V draft.
One more thing if it would be possible for v5 is to add exhibition games in addition to the spring training model. It would be nice to have my rookies trying to earn a position.
Keep up the good work and please fix the trading AI (even if it is only to please me).
All the best,
Jerry
