Ideas for Iootp and the company

So while i was playing IOOTP 14, I was thinking of the future of this franchise and started thinking of some ideas for not just the game but for the Company as well.

1) Home Run Derby- how this would go is its a 50-50 chance of getting a homerun if a player from the team your managing makes it.

2) All Star Game- If your team made it to the world series the year before you should be able to manage the all star game as per usual but if you didnt participate in the world series, you can still view the game but not manage it

3) Simming to a particular day- its annoying that you have to sim week by week, so maybe if you implement where you can sim each month or any day of the year!!

4) Trading- trading seems ok for the time being but when other teams trade to you its almost always a rip off. Also i usually expierence getting a ton of trades right before trade dateline for low level guys.

5) i think the company should make a whole new baseball game where you could trade players like a fantasy team and then actually play the games like bat and stuff, obvs it doesnt need to be perfect but playable. For example theres an app called 9 innings pro so just like those graphics but with a fantasy team

If you make more baseball apps you will Definatly attract more users and gain more money i know your busy with FHM or whatever but those are some stupid ideas aha

I like the sim to day idea.
Also the All star game would add greatly to the in season feel of the game.
The other ideas...?

In terms of the amount of effort likely needed by the developer to implement them (given that they really don't have a lot of time to spend on iOOTP), I would think that the Sim To Day would produce the biggest bang for the buck. The tweaking of trading might just be a matter of adapting something that they've already done for OOTP or it might be much, much harder (to get "right"). The others would likely be too much effort to implement.

Yeah, Sim to day is a good idea and easy to do...
