I got into OOTP because the commissioner of my on-line league was switching over from FPS to OOTP after the league file crashed. At first I didn't really care for it. I liked the set-up of FPS better for on-line play because you didn't have to individually click on players to see their ratings and things. It just seemed easier to play on-line FPS than OOTP.

Then I started my own league in OOTP and I got really into it. I enjoy it much more now than I did in the league which I have since left. That is why I only play solo leagues now. But to each their own.

I've mentioned the game to a few people but don't explain how its a text-based simulation game only. I've only mentioned the concept of being able to import the historical rosters and play a career, etc.

My brother makes fun of me for playing a game that you only click 1 button a lot of the time to play. My girlfriend has no idea how much I actually play. I don't usually bring it up and we don't live together so its no problem. She does know that I play Madden often and makes fun of me for that though.
