I think the situation is the same with MLB 17. I think the option to change views for CPU vs. CPU games (not fully sure with MoM, except there are a couple views exclusive to the mode are available) was removed a couple iterations back.
It really isn't an issue of what *I* say though. It's not that my voice (or whoever are considered more respected in the community, etc., which is entirely subjective) should weigh more. If anything, how things have been gone disprove the "myth" that had been around about how CD members had a lot of influence in how the game shapes up. (My personal experience... almost none.)
I'm much more concerned that a place like OS has lost ground as the place where constructive criticisms help make the game better (in my opinion, it has), The devs now appear to be responding almost purely to the louder, vocal majority who easily shows up in numbers but really isn't going after a simulation baseball game.
