Sorry if anything has been repeated by others, great minds think alike...

1) Real training camp
- Call up junior players and draftees
- Add in "good" camp development as well "bad" camp regression
- PTO contract for free agents with above mentioned bonuses
- cuts affect morale both good and badly depending on player

2) Better interaction/feedback for trades, what do they want then?
- Players coveted by other teams.. IE real trade offers for your good players
- intra conference/divisional rivalries affect trade possibility both for the good and for the bad IE West to East trades easier to accomplish

3) Broaden the happiness factor for the players/coaches.
- Not happy with money
- Not happy with contract status
- Does not like the coach
- Must be some prima donnas???

4) Add in a better weekly/daily media section.
- Players of the week
- Player/coach/manager comments regarding good/bad play
- Comments about the above mentioned happiness factors IE drama

5) Broaden the fatigue factor.
- Older players tire down the stretch/playoff?
- Banged up players fatigue more
- Young players have no conditioning...

6) player breakout moments
- sudden development of prospects
- Late bloomers
- Busts
- Playoff heroes/busts affecting development
- Veteran players sporadic playoff bonus;s

7) History <- this one I important
- lack of call ups/and demotions and or contracts affect future signings
- Trading players affecting future FA signings
- Bad history with coach on a different team affects FA signing
- Bad history on contract status affects signing and or FA signing
- Trading history IE fleecing a team affects future trades with GM
-> Winning a Cup makes players want to play for you, resign with you, take less money/want more money but overall respect shoots up for winning a cup
