DDS19 (Suggestions Wanted!)

Hey guys,
So I recently spoke with Gary from Wolverine Studios (developer of DDS if anyone doesn't know) and he mentioned that he's beginning to work on DDS19, to come out sometime around the start of the next season. He asked me for suggestions for how to improve the game specifically for multiplayer leagues like our own, and so I wanted to ask you guys and see what you guys think are things that could be added to the game that would be a benefit to leagues like this one.
Don't worry if you think your idea is too big or too small, or if it might have been added in more recent versions, just add every suggestion in here. I'm compiling an outline to send to him soon, so I'd love to see all your ideas. I've played DDS18 so I'll be able to let you guys know too if some of your suggestions are already in the game.
Also, if you have suggestions for things that would improve the game in the single-player realm as well, that'd be great too! I'd be happy to add them to the list.

A way to download all game logs, box scores, etc into csv format would be cool. Was thinking about doing something with our league just last night but it doesn't appear possible here without a crazy amount of work. Don't know if that's been added already in a more recent version but it should be really easy to implement since box scores are already exported to HTML format and game logs are already available in-game.

Ability to match up players defensively so that teams can't hide players any longer

And the ability to play better with lesser injuries. McGee was unplayable with a broken nose or something. NBA players play with fractured faces sometimes

More realism in the draft and free agency.

How about more control on offensive sets?

a proper explanation of them would be nice from the designer and explaining a bit more about the engine would help us all feel like we have more control.

Im not a tech guy but why cant they create an online version of the game that you can log in with your License Code so you dont need your pc to access anymore? Leagues can upload the file onto the web portal and we can manage our teams anywhere we go on your phone, tablet, etc

I think you overestimate how many people would
