My Wish list:

1. Have the frequency of talent fluctuations as a tweakable setting (Since some people like most players to keep the talent ratings they start with while others like wide fluctuations).

2. An "autopilot mode" which would be the same as computer control of a team except that the computer wouldn't change the strategy settings and would have to ask for permision before making lineup or rotation changes.

3. The ability to have multiple spot starters (kind of like the depth chart has multiple positions for utility players). Would allow to better replicate the much higher use of spot starters in historic leagues.

4. Quite a few players decline more gradually rather than going from "great to crap" in one year. Also some players (like Barry Bonds or Nolan Ryan in RL) should keep their high ratings into their 40s. I know some variation allready exists in OOTP5 but it could be increased.

5.Rainouts (rather than just rain delays) and double header support.

6. A safety squeeze and/or contact play option (runner only tries to score if contact is made)

7. The ability to have more than 10 teams in a league (so you could have two leagues with a with a wild card instead of geographical divisions if you wanted)

8. The ability to steal home, this would have a low chance of success and the runner's stealing ability would be more important than speed. Increase the chance of success a bit if it's part of a double steal.

9. Player's loyalty increases if he's been with the same club for a long time (especially if they've been successful). Maybe a loyal player could also ask for a no-trade clause in his contract.

10. the ability to import ballparks from other leagues (without having to opy the whole park.dat file) also if possible import parks from a historical database.

11. No arguing with umpires about balls and strikes, a manager would automatically get tossed for arguing balls and strikes in real life and it would speed up the game if it didn't ask you if you want to argue with the umpire so much.

12. The ability with one click to see things like all injured players in the league,all tired players in the league, all talent changes that year etc.

[First two are the big ones I'd love to see, the other stuff is pretty minor)
