One thing I've noticed with Expansion Mode is that we either

A. Never play it, because its too hard or

B. Play it ocassionaly for a challenge.

But as I was surfing around Wikipedia recently, I realized the "Expansion" mode in Season is WRONG! When teams are added to the league, they go through an expansion draft. Here's the most recent one with the Rays and Diamondbacks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Major ... sion_draft

Basicly, each team can "protect" 15 players from their ENTIRE organization for the draft. Players from the amateur draft the past two years are immune too, or anyone 18 and under signed within 3 years. How cool would it be if Power Pros did something like this?

Yeah. The Rule 5 Draft needs to be in there. Actually, the regular draft on there kinda sucks. You should be able to scout players.

There are so many things that could be added to Season to make it deeper. Scouting, more farm teams, an actual amateur draft, etc. However, it must be said that I enjoy the simplicity of the current version. If theses other features were to be added, I would probably also request some kind of "simple season" option to go along with it.

Or they could just put a crudload of options in like, say, MLB the Show. That way you can adjust it to be as simple or deep as you want it.

The draft would need to be better...They would need better prospects and players, and a working minor league so we could see how our prospects perform. Something like that. But I agree with Zumi when he says that could be an option to do so.
