Player Interactions w/ Manager - Add Request for 2021
-
One thing which has been in RTTS in the past was the ability for your player to choose to interact with the team's manager. There wasn't much to it as far as I can remember, either demanding a trade or requesting a position changed. The option was removed years ago.
A game which I just finished reminded me that I'd like to see player-initiated reactions come back into the game, only this time with much wider options in terms of what the player chooses to say, how he chooses to say it and to whom.
Up 2-0 in the bottom of the 9th, with two outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, my manager pulled my pitcher immediately following back-to-back strikeouts... this after leaving my guy in following an error and a bloop single. I suppose that I hit an arbitrary pitch count of 85 pitches, as my pitcher was pulled after his 86th pitch to complete the 2nd strikeout of the inning.
Sod's Law came into effect, and my relief gave up a walk and then three successive hits to lose the game 3-2. I'd love it if there was an option for my pitcher to speak to any of the manager, the pitching coach, the General Manager (bad idea w/ negative consequences), or the agent, after being pulled in such a way with the bullpen blowing the game in short order.
What do you think?

I’m with you. It was a minor feature back in the day but added to the immersion. Would love to see it return in some form. I vaguely remember arguing something (maybe being moved up in the order) and then getting benched

Agreed it would make the RTTS more immersive. I had a similar flashback, in that the game made me want to start a conversation with the manager and no way to, made me also think of the old days. I was going to initiate a discussion about changing my role because as a starting pitcher (which I chose) I suck but when made a closer I was dominating. Then I was returned to being starter again. I wanted to ask if I could do some closing again.

Oh believe me I would love for more interactions to be added; even if it was for some extra immersion.
Like Yelling at the ump after his Ball 4 call was terrible, or Being struck out.
Or Charging the mound After being plunked by a pitch. which might end up cause a bench clearing brawl.That's what might make the game even more fun.
Even If you would be ejected afterward. -
