Changing Player of the Game

I don't know about you, but every once in awhile, I don't agree with the computer's choice for player of the game. I'd like the ability to be able to override it, maybe in the screen where you can change the game recap.

The computer does a good job of calculating the overall stats of the game for each player, but one may have had a worse statistical game, but a bigger impact.

For instance, player A may have gone 3 for 5 with 3 RBI and player B went 2 for 4 with 2 RBI. In this scenario, player A would be awarded Player of the Game. However, what if player B's 2 RBI were from a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 12th inning of a game that had been deadlocked since the fifth? In real life, we'd pick him.

Most of the time, the choice is fine. I'd just like the ability to override it if I so choose.

anybody else think this would be a good idea? I don't know too much about computers. Would it be difficult to do?
