First, I just want to thank all the people responsible for this fine product. It truly has added joy to my life. Ever since I was a little kid I've been looking for a platform for a fictional league of which I control one team in a challenging arena. This game finally has satisfied that.

I am wondering if the patch addresses the following issues which I have encountered and prevent it from being a perfect game if there truly can be such a thing. Some of these are more like questions:

1) It seems that the AI minor-league managers don't play the top prospects all the time. Is there a way to fix this or does the patch fix it?

2) Is there anyway to un-do a mistake? For example, I place my replacement right-fielder in the game as a pitcher - can I un-do it if I catch it right away?

3) There are too many balks. A major league team will have maybe 5-10 balks in a year and my teams experience more like 5 a month.

4) I'm sure this has been discussed plenty, but I like the injury frequency because I like challenge and realism. However, the amount of season-ending injuries are definitely not realistic.

5) PBP: I've seen the play 2-6-3 multiple times with no one else on base. I'm not sure how this could possibly happen.

6) Is there an option to make everyone's financials "fair"? Everyone on an even ground to start (I want things to adjust as teams play poorly or well) - can it happen?

7) Is there a way to make all parks grass without going to every park and making the individual change in commish mode?

8) I've seen a player's actual rating listed as higher than his potential rating (I use a 1-100 scale)

9) I try to use a 1-100 scale for everything, but overall and potential ratings are on a scale from 20-80

10) Opposing AI managers misuse the intentional walk. No manager would ever, ever walk a guy when up in the game and the batter hitting a homer would not change the lead in the 9th inning. I see this often. For example, Team A is up by 3 in the 9th and there is a man on second for Team B. Team A would never walk the batter because a homer doesn't change the lead.

11) I once saw a player's history indicate that he was selected by two different teams in two different rounds in the innagural draft.

Please let me know if there is a way to fix these or if the patch fixes these.

Thank you!!
