An idea for OOTP 27

It might be fun to add managers challenges to the game. Nothing wild. Just like "this steal of second was super close blah blah do you want to challenge?"

Then if you lose it, later in the game, "this play was super close but you are out of challenges."

Just a small thing for someone who plays out the games

That would be fun and immersive, but it DOES mean they'd have to add in an ability for the game to get calls WRONG, I think.

This sounds a bit contrived, and to what end? In real baseball, challenges exist to correct mistakes. In OOTP, there are no mistakes because the game already knows the correct outcome. To make challenges work, the game would have to create fake errors just for show, which undercuts the whole idea of a simulation. It might add a moment of "drama", but it would be manufactured and meaningless.
