The newspaper. It ignores the playoffs. Teams clinching a spot should be a news item. Also each playoff game and each playoff advancement. Winning a league title or WS should be a news item.

Terrible substitution logic. The AI inserts players with horrible defensive ratings in the lineup at key positions (SS, 2B, CF) when in reality this would only be done as a desperation move if no fully qualified position player was available. When a shortstop has to be replaced, they don't replace him with a backup first baseman with a one rating at shortstop in real life. They replace the SS with the backup SS.

Bad depth chart logic: related to the above, too many marginal defenders are being assigned as backups to key defensive positions. Prioritize defense higher for SS, 2B, CF and C backups. No one with a very low position rating should ever be assigned as a backup if there is any kind of qualified backup available.

Catchers batting 1st or 2nd or 3rd in the order. This happens very rarely in real life, but commonly in OOTP.

Inability to properly edit front office personnel. For setup purposes you should be able to edit contracts (lengths and amounts).

We should be able to assign a free agent when we sign them form the free agent screen to whatever team we want them to in our organization when we sign them.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
