Seriously though, what I'm hoping for:

Improved 3D engine
More realistic rules for international leagues
WBC
Fixed / customizable tiebreakers
More playoff options
Fixed minimum league year in storylines (so no players marrying supermodels in 1920!)

WBC would be cool.

HerbertMcHoover · 01-15-2015, 07:24 PM

I concur about having umpires.

It would also be good to have attendance spike up for rivalries like Red Sox and Yankees, Giants and Dodgers, Nationals and Orioles, etc, or choose custom rivalries.

I love using the bullpen warm up rule. How about evening the playing field and getting the AI using it. I also like the idea of a 3rd jersey.

HerbertMcHoover · 01-15-2015, 07:30 PM

Is there something for consecutive scoreless innings?

More incentives would be nice as well. Maybe a bonus for x amount of homers/hits, etc. Milestone bonuses ala A-Rod could work well with that as well.

Is there a way to list how many total injured days per season/career of a player? Is there a way to check how many total injured days per team? Average age of your big league roster?

Player-managers.

Elimination numbers.

Record vs. each division/half etc.

ootp3to6 · 01-15-2015, 07:45 PM

Combine OOTP 16 baseball and Franchise Hockey Manager games into one game so that once the baseball season is over and the baseball playoffs begin in the fall we could start our hockey season.

This would allow me to manage the Toronto Blue Jays during the baseball season and manage the Toronto Maple Leafs during the hockey season!

By doing this, I/we would be kept very busy year round managing our respective baseball/hockey teams.

Just think of all of the possibilities!

What do you think?

Added video replay rules, so in places the announcer calls close Almagest has the option to challenge.

TomVeal · 01-15-2015, 09:50 PM

Is it true that OOTP 16 will have Marvel and DC licenses, so that players can add superheroes to their lineups?

1: an improved and user-friendly financial model that makes more sense (market size being better explained and making more sense is included in this) and doesn't take so much tinkering to get working right

2: if not outright promotion/relegation (which is my #1 wish by far) then an option to check so that the AI knows it desperately needs to avoid finishing in last or the last 3 slots so our manual pro/rel leagues work a little better

3: better end of season pitcher usage and playoff pitcher usage.

4: the ability for the AI to "know" user-scheduled playoff games are upcoming and rejigger it's lineups accordingly

5: a tournament mode or the ability to schedule an in-season tournament like the FA Cup

6: and this shouldn't be last, a smarter AI approach to team-building. too many times teams run out an absolute nobody to start the year (and often all year) that puts up a 8 or 10+ ERA while spending huge money on a backup C or a setup man or something. a better ranking of the importance of different roles would be nice.

7: 2D animation that goes fast. players as dots that reflect their skills, ball coming off the bat reflecting how hard and where they hit it. as simple as that, 3D looks like a step too far based on what I saw last year and I love the direction that is going but think 2D is a better first step
