I generally don't write much on this forum, mainly just read other's comments, but I have a few small tweaks that hopefully will be considered in OOTP5.
1) Make more foul balls caught. I think in the time I have played the game, I have only had a handfull of foul balls to the outfield caught....the outfielders always end up not getting there on time.
2) Make collisions at the plate more often, (not too often), and when they do collide, make it where the ball doesn't always come loose...as I have never seen a collision where the ball doesn't get loose.
3) Spice up the commentator a little....tell us little facts from time to time about the hitter or pitcher on what he may had done recently versus that team, or against that particular pitcher, or just about how he has been doing the past few weeks....just add a little more life to the fictional players and the game itself.
4)I am all about Stats....that is what makes me keep playing....I think the records should be expanded to show not only the top season of HR's by one person, but maybe the top 10 ever....and on the personal page of the player, have on there the amount of All Star appearances he has had and maybe have the career stat sheet a little more colorful, ie, have a certain color on the stat on a given year that was a league leader, and maybe another color for the stat where the person was in the top 5 in that catagory. And finally, have some sort of personal description of the guy's actual playing history, sort of how the scouting works, but more of a summary of not what is projected, but what that person actually did, and how he compares to the rest of the people in his league.
Those a few of my thoughts...hopefully they have some implicatin on the final version of OOTP5
