It doesn't need new features, really. Just massive refinements.
Personnel needs completely redone. Why does it take 3 clicks PER coach to see they relationship status to your team, and how good they are at development? Why does a coach spend his entire life at one level in the minors? Never promoted, never poached.
Filters are not nearly sufficient. Every stat is the game should be filterable, including injury proneness.
Feeders needs rebuilt from the bottom up and player development needs a massive overhaul. Both go hand in hand, as the game is not keeping up with the modern day MLB trend toward youth and college draftees. In real life 65% of draftees are from college. In OOTP 65% come from High School. In MLB, the age curve of players, particularly pitchers, is 2 YEARS younger than OOTP. I'll leave the following graph here one more time.
And in relation to that, contracts need fixed. Teams are not giving 30+ year old players 10 years contracts anymore. OOTP AI does. And for huge $$ at that. Makes dominating the AI in single player incredibly easy. AI also does not factor in injury proneness when making trades or FA signings.
