Not sure a Diamond Dynasty style mode would really work in a text sim. Plus, adding DLC style microtransactions to OOTP scares the hell out of me. In-game purchases are killing the gaming industry in some ways, although I suppose it makes sense from a business standpoint.

I'm just really really hoping OOTP steers clear of things like that. Just my feelings, not sure if others agree.

I suppose I can handle it for JUST this mode (which I probably wouldn't even play) but like I've said before..the day the game introduces the option of a $.50 bonus to improve hitting for a few games or $1.00 to refill player stamina is the day I stop playing OOTP. Obviously I know nobody is forced to do this, but many games these days use the "pay to win" formula and I just don't want OOTP going down that road.

As for the other options, I suppose having a friend or a buddy on the forums here controlling one of the teams in my fictional league for an exhibition game would be pretty cool. That is if I'm understanding the concept.
