The new leagues aren't killing the chances of there being new features. They will probably add new features on top of the flawed FHM 2014 game.
I have always wanted things like Expansion, better customisation or a better match engine but not at the expense of a better and working trading and free agent system.
I think that FHM 2015 will probably have a new shiny UI that looks like OOTP Baseball but I fear the new version may represent nothing more than another group of patches to FHM 2014.

There is code that has to be written to support relegation and foreign player limits and other specific rules for various leagues. How often have we heard about issues with simulating the DEL for instance. It fuzzies up the focus. If they had gotten then game solid for 2-3 leagues and then very quickly started tacking on extra leagues it would be fine.
It's the general approach that as you predict will lead them to
"probably add new features on top of the flawed FHM 2014 game
" that is frustrating and ultimatey self defeating. Like Jeffs recent post that he is starting to work back the historical database to support earlier start years, when the current years the game does support still have tons of glaring issues (as I discuss here
http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...riorities.html)... don't increase your scope until what you have is working well... it's development 101.
