List of new features for ootp4

Some have asked about this... so here you are:
Here is a list of the most important enhancements:

- Redesigned interface, making it more user-friendly and providing a much
better overall look.
- Completely new financial system. What was once considered a weakness in
the OOTP series is now one of it's best features. We added stability, a
better financial AI, a completely new free agent period (it is more like an
auction now, where you can negotiate with players over a 30 day period). The
attendance model was recoded as well, it now reflects real life a lot
better. Also, we added TV deals, promotional days (Glove Day, Retro Day
etc.), better reports like the financial history of a team and much more.
- Rewritten minor league system. You are now able to set lineups and
pitching staffs for each minor league level. Teaching a player a different
position is possible as well. Want to turn your 1B into a 3B? Give it a
shot. But beware, his hitting might suffer if the conversion doesn't work
out.
- Added a player history to each player card. It will track injuries,
trades, awards, great performances, championships etc.
- New Ratings systems. To the traditional ratings system we added a
"reduced" set and "talents only". The reduced set will be similar to the one
you'll find in other baseball games (Power, Contact, Stuff, Velocity,
Control etc.). So you as a solo player or online leagues get another option
to add more challenge to the game.
- Added the OOTP Message System, which lets players/other
teams/coaches/managers etc. interact with you! You receive emails about
trade offers, disgruntled players, minor league reports from your scouts and
much more. This system gives you the feeling that you're dealing with
humans rather than a bunch of stats and numbers.
- The online leagues features now support FTP, making the life of a league
commissioner a lot easier! Upload the generated league files, import rosters
with one single mouse click, it's all possible in OOTP 4!
- Added more stats, for example player vs. team stats (want to know how your
SS hits New York pitchers? No problem.), batting AVG and ERA development
charts etc.
- Added more player attributes, for example weight/height, pitch types,
throwing velocity, character attributes.
- Enhanced play-by-play, adding pitch types and speeds, foul balls, weather
effects.
- New weather system, adding rain-delays, wind-blown homeruns, fielders
slipping on the wet grass etc.
- New argue the call option. Think the ump missed the call? Let him know
about it, at the risk of being thrown out of the game. This feature is
actually pretty funny
- The trading block allows you to shop a player around. You'll get emails if
other teams are interested!
- Added scheduled time to games, and made the out of town scoreboard
"real-time". If your game starts at 7 EST, some games might be already
finished or in progress. The OOTS will reflect this accurately.
- Added position player fatigue! Want to play your catcher in 162 games?
Forget about it, his hitting will suffer big-time if he doesn't get the rest
he deserves. This feature is an option and can be turned off.
- You can now change the primary position of your players inside the player
card without using the editor. You can choose between the position he is
rated in. Changes will be exported/imported with the roster files that are
exchanged in online league play.
- The number of the amateur draft rounds now can be customized. So if you
want the amateur draft to last 25 rounds, go ahead. The numbers of player
that will be generated is adjusted to the number of rounds, of course!
- If you feel you do not want to manage the minor leagues of your teams, you
can now set the minors to computer-controlled even if your team is
human-controlled!
- Added injuries to minor league games.
- Added a salary cap option!
- Enhanced in-game AI.
- Enhanced aging algorithms.
- MUCH MORE
