I love Spring Training games for lots of reasons, so I am hardly an impartial observer. In OOTP I find it useful to identify young players who deserve to make the club, and also to determine the proper minor league level for guys who don't. But it's a ton of work to set the schedules in Florida and Arizona, and to get a look at everybody on a roster of fifty. Maybe some split-squad games thrown in would help? Plus I like to finish with the geographical rivalries: Yanks/Mets, Dodgers/Angels, Cubs/White Sox, even Miami/Tampa Bay. It can be a useful test of development lab work. I also like the frantic dealing that takes place when rosters are cut down to 28 (in my sim, until May 1), and guys without options present problems. I also enjoy having MLB teams face off with their AAA teams, too. All good. All labor-intensive to set up, though.
