The absolute must is an editor; the ability to edit an existing players stats and positions, as well as being able to create custom players is crucial. If I want to put myself in the Majors on my favourite team or create an all Canadian fictional league then I want to be able to change a players name, nation of origin, age, etc. If this resource is available within the save all the better, but I would be happy with a database editor before the new save is created.

I would also like some interaction with my owner. Specifically it would be cool to be able to defer a portion of budget or money made in a player sale to future seasons. I've re-built teams and it's frustrating when I play a season way below budget and I don't have the option to see any of that money on the field the next year.

Also a player personality page would be really cool. Things like work rate, leadership, and determination could influence how an individual player develops, as well as how well a team plays based on locker room stability. It would be fun getting e-mails stating that this player is butting heads with that player, or this deadline acquisition really solidified the locker room. Player personality could also lead to cool things like players becoming either legendary or a nuisance in the community.

Other then that I just have some minor quibbles.

The ability to add cash to trades on either side would be nice. It's a little frustrating that the AI can do this but I can't.

Text on the history page and in the news section occasionally have the text cut off at the bottom.

I saw somebody mention independent saves to solve the problem of accidentally drafting the wrong player and while that would be my preference, a simple option to turn on an "are you sure" page before drafting would be a nice add.

Just any amount of customization would be welcome: changing the name of the ballpark I play in, the option to turn on draft pick trading or recently drafted player trading, or perhaps the option to turn on a salary cap. Stuff like that.

*edit* Also the option to accept/deny a contract with a free agent after you have agreed to terms. I don't know how many times I've accidentally signed two players at the same position. The compensation for signing free agents needs work as well; If I lose a superstar and get a 4th as compensation and sign a mediocre player and give up a 1st that's insanely annoying.
