Seems an easy solution, that is at least from adding anything extraordinary, would be to simply add the designation to the signing line in the transaction or team news regarding the trade or signing, e.g. Ohio gets John Simpson CF and is assigned to AAA. At least we have a reference point where we know the info exists even if the AI made the decision.

I'm not sure I'd want to see that for every team though. Wonder how difficult it would be to program that addition to only human controlled teams.

Since $10 is almost the price of a movie, if one gets 3 hours of entertainment, then they have their money's worth. I love the expansion pack idea.

Me too. Everything that's wrong with v6 is NOT going to be fixed with 6.5a.. there are limitations and hopefully v7 will fix those issues. If not, oh well.. not one EA game has all the fixes I want nor any sports game.. it's a fact of life.

Since getting 6.5, I've enjoyed the game as much as ever, but I have yet to see any unretirements or mid-season retirements. I started a new league as the 1955 Dodgers and have simmed through 14 years, not once have I seen either happen, makes me wonder if it actually will or not

Regardless, I still enjoy the game

You have to enable it in the league setup.

AI-related features

New player evaluation algorythms
The core of the AI in a baseball game is it's player evaluation algorythm. We have used modern reasearch and player evaluation concepts (i.e. value over replacement players) in order to rework the player evaluation in OOTP 6.5, resulting in smarter AI throughout the game. This influences trades, signings and basic roster AI, for example lineups or pitching staff settings.

Smarter roster handling AI
The new roster handling AI does not only benefit from the new player evaluation, it was almost completely reworked and now feels more realistic, resulting in less waiver moves and a better understanding of the roster structure.

I don't want to sound like a whiner but ihaven't seen any upgrade over 6.12 on those sections.

I think the bottom line here, as would be expected, is that there is a mix of opinions. No different that the mix of opinions that will certainly be present when V7 is announced. Maybe the more important thing is the fact there is no pure concensus, although most who have purchased it feel it's worth the $10.

please SOME of the people ALL of the time, please ALL of the people SOME of the time, but you cant please ALL of the people ALL of the time. That goes for anything in this life. Nothing is ever perfect, this game is very strong and OOTPD does listen to our concerns (gripes.) The other manufacturers of games don't give a rip if we have concerns...they are deaf to us because they already got your money. Markus does listen and attempt to appease his game's fanbase. I am personally thankful for that and will play this game until I can no longer operate my mouse. (I may hire someone to do it for me at that point.

)

My 2 Pennies...not trying to offend anyone.
