I think a quick summary of the ways in which I've enjoyed OOTP will say it all.
1. I've played a single major league season, serving as GM/manager of a single team in 2002 and making all personnel moves, as well as managing at least one game of every series.
2. I've used manager mode to recreate the career of a fictional manager in a fictional baseball universe, beginning in 1901.
3. I've inserted a fictional player into the "real" world of MLB, beginning in 1904. This is a career universe that I've currently been enjoying for two and a half years. I've since added two other fictional players and about 20 Negro Leaguers.
4. I'm the GM for teams in two online leagues using fictional players and teams, one which uses full financials, etc., and one that doesn't.
5. I've created my own completely fictional baseball universe with twelve teams, starting play in 1960.
OOTP has made it possible for me to enjoy computer baseball simulation in many ways. It's not the only game I play, either on the computer or on the tabletop, but it's the one I spend the most time with.
