I would settle for some improvements to the generated draft picks.
The only reason I use feeders is to have some history behind the players that I draft. I don't particularly care for feeders, it’s just for history. What I would like to see is:
-For game generated amateurs, is there a better way to show what school the player went to? It just shows up as COL or HS in the player stats. Is it possible to show the school?
-In the amateur draft. Can you add a line for where the player went to school? I’m talking about the box that shows the previous pick in the bottom right. Currently it shows the school if he comes from a feeder, but it show the ML team that picks him if it’s a game generated amateur. I’d suggest having 3 lines there. The top is the team drafting him. The second line is his school. The third line would be the player.
-Instead of a draft list being created right before the draft with only draft eligible players, there could be a list of all amateurs. The idea is that players can be added to the amateur list at 15 or 18 and will develop and gain stats each year. Similar to the way players develop in the Int Complex, but they would get stats each year. I also don’t know how stats are generated but I assume it’s based off their ratings, rather than a sim.
-If the above is not realistic, I’d settle for just 4 years of stats being generated at creation.
-Any other history added would be a big plus. Awards, championships, even injuries.
Improvements to the generated amateurs would eliminate the need for feeders all together and create a more realistic experience for us all. I appreciate the time you took to read this. It’s very encouraging to me as a consumer to know that our questions, comments, and suggestions are heard and acknowledged from the developer himself. It’s a big reason why I recommend OOTP to everyone I know looking for a baseball game and why I will continue to buy for years.
