If you could choose one single new feature for OOTP 10... - Page 10

Been mentioned before, but a history of Divisional stat leaders, including inter and intra divisional leaders/records/etc. would enrich the experience of those who use divisional play and care about geographical rivalries and such.

One thing that I still miss greatly (going back to OOTP 6.5) is the "record book"-- single game records especially.
I love the game otherwise.

Don't know if it's too late in the process to get new ideas, but one thing I've ALWAYS wanted was an ability to simulate "representative" baseball.

Now that we can limit players on a team by country, and birthplaces are selected from a set database of cities - I believe this could be introduced quite easily using the same criteria, just at a city, and state level rather than country. The data is allready there, and obviously so is the criteria - it just needs combining).

Not sure how to put what I want into words, but what I see is:

World Championship (National Teams - USA, Mexico, Canada, etc)
National Championship (State Teams - California, Texas, etc)
State Championship (City Teams - Los Angeles, Dallas)
City Championship (Local Team - Nicknames).

Obviously all teams at each level are linked to one at the next level, so players can be called up/sent down amongst all the championships. If lower levels are limited by birthplace, then players sent down will always 'return' to their original side.

Nice idea, Simon! I tried to implement something similar with a geographically realigned MLB structure, with incoming historical players assigned to their respective regional teams ( where the birth data was available ), but gave it up as the process of sorting one-by-one became too tedious.
