I agree. I remember when OOTP2006 was being prepared for release we got a slew of screen shots that were mostly new ways of displaying data we already had access to in the previous version. The community was agog, and I kept thinking... um, where are the features? It's good to see improved text scouting reports making a comeback after their two year banishment. Otherwise... a skin, a scaling back of a report that was fine as it was, and a change to scouting don't get me too excited.

Damn, I hate being critical of this game, 'cuz it really is an amazing piece of programming for the baseball lover. And hell yes I'll be buying it. But show me something that will make me want to play it.
