Seriously?

• A totally re-coded amateur draft with optional signing bonuses, player demands, a slotting system, post-draft contract & bonus negotiations, and compensation picks for unsigned picks (who will re-enter the draft a year later). Also, when feeder leagues are used, undrafted/unsigned high school players may go to college and continue playing!
• Automatically generated high school/college stats, helping you to evaluate potential picks in the amateur draft.
• Recoded fielding engine, making defense more realistic while introducing new fielding stats like Zone Rating, Individual Fielding Efficiency, and Team Defense Efficiency.
• More advanced statistics like wOBA (weighted on-base average), OPS+, ERA+ and FIP (fielding independent pitching)
• Team owners with distinct personalities, providing constant feedback about your performance
• Improved contract negotiations, including counter-offers from players.
• More varied news stories
• Create and print baseball cards of your favorite players on customizable templates, including historical player cards

That's a bit more than importing your face.
