My OOTP21 Suggestions
Here's the stuff that stands out to me, in no particular order:
- Schedule generation and editing is just OK, but leaves much to be desired, especially the more teams you add and the funkier the league structure. I created a fictional league with 6 10-team divisions each and the schedule generator simply couldn't make good schedules. I've made a few Excel spreadsheets to build XML schedules for me but, that takes loads of work, and it just sucks trying to schedule things by hand no matter how you do it. I'd absolutely LOVE to see a more robust schedule editor/generator. - Importing historical teams when creating a fictional league is a pain. It gets clunky and slow the more teams you're trying to select. - Allow more than 2 subleagues! - Track service time separately for different leagues. - Fix the team/league lineage in the history. The NL was born in 1876 of some new teams and a few old NA teams, and picked up teams from other leagues along the way. The AL was formed in 1901 of all new teams. However, the game has team lineage a bit wrong. For example all of the Philadelphia Athletics team have a "continuous" lineage to the Oakland Athletics in the game, whereas the team actually came and went several times and other than the name they have absolutely no connection to the "modern" Philadelphia/KC/Oakland A's. Lots of defunct teams that have no connection to any modern team are listed as previous names. - Park factor editing en masse is a pain. You need to press 'ENTER' to save your changes. The game then seizes for the tiniest second, then sets focus to the top field on that screen again. So when you're trying to enter all of the park factors, you keep having to tab 7+ times to get back to where you were. It would be nice to just to be able to type in all the factors quickly, then hit a Save button or something - or at least just set focus back to the field you were on when it's done saving. Or, provide an alternative altogether - I don't know of a way to enter these outside of the game itself. It would be nice to be able to drop in all the real-life park factors at once every year for historical games. Better yet - a way to store all of the historical park factors so they'll pull the right ones every year. - When you're naming teams during fictional league creation, the tab order is weird. It goes left to right through all of the fields so it's kind of awkward.
