How about something that would create a little more revenue for you all? An addon that would allow us to create our own databases. I realize if we have the know how, we can do that now, but it is cumbersome at best.
For example: I could add a college or any league or team using real players and stats by inputting the info into the program and have the program do all the necessary conversions needed to be usable by the game.
This way, we'd all have up to date rosters and stats at any time. If a player got traded we could simply load the current roster, add the player, make the changes and poof, we've got an up to date database. We could add all the real life player draftees when draft time comes around and they would be added to the draft pool. etc.
Any DB errors, and we could fix them on our own and not have to wait for patches. It would also possibly free up some of your time having to fix db issues. Just a thought. Now back to the game.....

I'd like to see in addition to the above,
1. The ability for us to play an unlimited amount of sound files that we create and have them able to be called from the PBP.
Example: An announcer announces the player coming to bat or when the home team has a rally going, the crowd cheers for them such as let's go Red Sox.....let's go Red Sox.... Or hearing the ump call "Srike 2" or my favorite, Harry Carey singing take me out to the ballgame during the 7th inning stretch.
You don't have to create the actual sound files, just allow us the ability to do it if we want.

2. Use the manager's name in the pbp instead of the generic "the manager comes to the mound" sort of thing we see so often.

3. Also be nice to see the umpires names announced and used in the pbp

4. Ability to edit the night Ballpark player and ball locations. It's next to impossible to find ones that line up the same.

Almost forgot!!!
5. Ability to use the mouses's back and forward buttons to maneuver through the screens.
