5) Well, it already works that way basically.

Kinda. You still wind up with MLB-sized cities in AAA and vice-versa.

Lets see.....

San Francisco Giants
San Francisco - Population 740,000 - (2005 Estimate)

San Jose
San Jose Giants - Population 912,000 - (2005 Estimate)

So, doesn't this happen irl also?

Have pre purchased the Game to but hope these made the cut this year.

1-Futures Game-not to hard to add because all you are doing is selecting Minor Leagues that could be future Stars to play in the Game

2-Automatic Expansion by the computer meaning if a city wants a MLB or so on League team it can apply for entrance into that League.

3-Teams up for sale meaning the existing Owner can find new Owner who might want buy the team and keep them in their existing city or relocate the team to different city like lets the New Orleans Jazz Owner sell his to a person who lives Denver and wants to move them their the new owner would have to apply for Relocation.

4-Minor League team contract with a MLB or so on team like lets say at the end of the season it says like the Richmond Braves,Iowa Cubs,Palm Springs Skyers,Columbus Clippers,Austin Bats and so on Teams contracts are up with their MLB or so on League Team or to inform you that Arizona Diamondbacks has purchased the Farm Team the Salt Lake City Jazz-Triple-A that was a Farm Team of the Los Angeles Dodgers meaning Dodgers have to find a new home for their Triple-A team.

5-Senting Major League or so on League Roster during Spring Training like for example on March 20 the Marlins have reassigned like Cody Rose,Bob Martinez,Kevin Thompson,Mike Wood and Neal Musser to their Minor League Camp and assigned Tom Stewart,Jose Tabata,John Lester to Triple-A and like on March 23 their assigned Josh Johnson to Triple-A and Hal Morris,Mark Smith and Bart Armstrong to Double-A.

6-On a person who's not on your 40 or what number Man Roster is or is a Free-Agent the option invite them to camp.

7- Unsigned Prospects Page

8-Building a new Stadium/Dome or up grading your existing one option

9-TV/Radio Contracts

10-The option to have Inter League play all-year round,DH an Pitcher in the same Lineup,Pick how many Wild Card teams make the Playoffs

Split Squad Games,Team Oragnation Page from NHL Eastside Hockey Manager and Home Run Derby migt be hard to get into the Game

All good stuff, to be sure, but low priority, I would imagine. It may take until OOTP 12 to finish it all up.

However, this could serve to rekindle the debates of simple vs. complicated game and baseball gameplay vs. the team management/ownership experience as priority. Care to comment?

Personally, these proposals could lead to a level of complication that will take OOTP further out of the mainstream, and I could live without them all if it meant the lefty-righty split ratings merge problem was resolved. That, and a few things other members could add.
