like the people above me said, i would like those changes as well. i have one that kind of bothers me though.
Defense: You click on a position player, you see the baseball diamond on the top right and it shows their ratings at each position. Then you click on that and it shows different numbers for each position. Example, the player shows he's a corner OFs in the game with 95 arm, 90 range, and and 76 fielding. Shows a rating of 82 in corner OF and 78 at SS. You then click on the baseball diamond and it shows all the different positions and full ratings on how well he should do at each position. his rating at SS is 97 arm, 94 range and 75 fielding. So you think, ok the guy can play SS, then you convert him there and play him at SS and you click on the "fileding" tab and after a full season he'll have a -30.0 DRAA and -3.0 DW. I mean that's crazy. Can this be fixed in 2016? That was just one example, but it shows it like that for other positions as well. It kind of gives you false hope that he can play the position, when in reality he really sucks there. This would just make it more realistic in my opinion if it wouldn't falsely show that he can play a position, when he really can't play it.
Another thing about defense, is sometimes shortstops and second basemen have really high DRAA's, which seems to be unrealistic. I had a SS that posted up a +50.4 DRAA and +5.2 DW in one season, which I thought was crazy. This same player I moved to 2B and he posted up a +25.1 DRAA and +2.6 DW in only 55 games started at 2B. Nothing really special about his defense, it's all 90's but plenty of players have all 90's defense and a lot of them don't get that crazy. This doesn't happen to all players at those positions, but it happens to a solid amount of guys, and it's mainly at SS and 2B.
