Quite honestly, it just isn't worth it, and I'm sorry I purchased the game.

Come on now. Your point about expecting to get up to speed pretty quickly is where you made your mistake. If you had been following along with the TRTR posts, you would have seen that things are VERY different with this version of the software. Some things are WAY cooler (the depth of stats, for one), and some things are going to take some time to get used to (the interface), but I think if you give it a daily run for a month, you'll never look back at 6.5 again.
When I played Earl Weaver Baseball, I thought it was the best until I played Hardball, until I played Tony LaRussa Baseball, until I played Front Page Sports Baseball, until I finally got to OOTP. I'm here, and although it doesn't have the arcade-style graphics (do we need those? This is a statistical wet dream!) it is clearly the best on the block.
Not to mention, Markus actually responds to user input and feedback. I may go back to 6.5 for grins and giggles now and again, but OOTP 2006 is my new crack!
