First and Foremost
Best OOTP launch experience in the history of the franchise. Anyone whining should take a visit to the OOTP 5 and 6 message boards still archived on this website from earlier in the decade. THAT was real pain. This game is so great, I've purchased two copies (mostly because I have two platforms). Generally speaking, the issues I've noticed are minor and could be left out in the next roster revision.

Personnel Salaries
I realize this is an under utilized feature in past OOTP online leagues, but manager salaries seem heavily undervalued and erroneous in length. Correct manager salaries can be found here.

Player Issues
I'm not entirely sure why Carl Pavano is on the waiver wire to begin the season. It should also be noted that Pavano makes $1,500,000 in '09 and not $400,000.

I'm a San Francisco Giants fan, so I'll do my best to indicate issues regarding their roster specifically.

Barry Zito should have an $18,000,000 club option in 2014 with a $7,000,000 buyout.

Edgar Renteria should have a $10,500,000 club option in 2011 with a $500,000 buyout.

Pablo Sandoval has experience as a catcher, though OOTP shows only positional ratings at 1B and 3B. This may be more AI management related, but I thought I'd throw it out.

Noah Lowry should have a $6,250,000 club option for 2010 (no buyout). You may also want to change Lowry's morale to angry, as he was recently diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome after a year on the disabled list with a possible forearm injury. His agent has issued a statement to media accusing the Giants of a misdiagnosis. It appears he won't be ready to return from the disabled list for at least 10 months. I realize this all happened after 04/04, so I understand why it wouldn't be in the final roster set.

Matt Cain should have a $6,250,000 team option for 2010.

Kelvin Pichardo is currently serving a 50 game suspension for testing positive (this occurred prior to 04/04).
