Both very good points here. I could see OOTP going nuts over getting the stats correct. This is why I say there's too many variables: Sure, it might be a single line of If-Thens, but it'd be one heck of a long line. It seems so easy to say, "If a game's rained out, it can look for a date, if there's no date it waits till the end of the year," etc. etc. But there's so many little issues that could crop up in the middle. I'm not saying that it's impossible, just that it'd take some real time and dedication to get right, and I, once again, can't see the dev team devoting their energy to it this time around.
