It wouldn't take an enormous amount of effort to do that. Instead we get a more exciting offseason as a new feature. It's frustrating. The other issue is how the cpu drafts. Multiple teams drafted no SP. One drafted only RP. I think it's related to which players are scouted. I scouted fully starting pitchers from all regions and then simmed the draft. The cpu drafted 6 starting pitchers for my team. That's because I scouted a lot of starting pitchers. They need to expand the number of players who can be scouted. That is clearly broken in the game and it's apparent the cause is the limited number of players who can be scouted. I'm still playing 23. If they changed it for 24 then somebody post a video and I'll change my mind. Until then it's a waste of money to buy a new version when a core element of the game is broken and they add new feature that don't fix what's broken. Thanks for the reply.

So what is included in this “more exciting offseason” that is frustrating to you?

This game must be able to sim like OOTP, but then again it must be able to okay out a game live, thus requiring more than just one simple "sim" engine. In OOTP it doesn't matter where the ball is pitched or when the player swung and in what part of the zone, it just uses the count and then calculates a bunch of different scenarios. In MLBTS, when playing, it has to take into account all that, plus fielder position, wind, etc, or it would look bad when playing. Again, while I agree with the premise, the coding for gameplay would be much harder and take a lot longer as there are 2 separate areas to code for.

I wasn't making any comparison to OOTP. I was just making the point that the art you see on the field and surrounding areas is created by a different team than gameplay. Yes, all code must integrate and play nice together, but the lack of one feature, or the lack of an update to it, should not be attributed to changes that another team might have made.

Do we actually know if that’s an easy fix or are we just saying it’s an easy fix?

It's easy to post it's an easy fix, so it stands up to Internet reasoning that it has to be an easy fix.
