This game is not half as complex as FM
As soon as Markus joined SI and I saw the direction the game was taking I knew this would happen.
Some people will adapt, others will not. The game will pick up new people along the way and all will be well a few months down the road.
By the time OOTP reaches the point where FM is right now then it will be a contender for the best text sim on the market (which FM cleary is at the moment)
OOTP X was a a very simple game compared to 2006 and people who have never played FM or EHM (and most of you have not) are still reacting to the initial shock.
I expect in about three months many of you will be over it and enjoying the new game.
Some of you never will get over it and will move on.
OOTP was to a point where Markus could not really take it any further. The game was in danger of stagnating like Baseball Mogul (and many other series) have.
Instead of watching that happen Markus seized the thing by the horns and gave it a new life.
I think he did the right thing. Some will not be able to handle it and will be left behind to move on.
There is nothing wrong with that. Complex text sims are not for everyone.
But I think the majority will get used to it and come to accept that the game is better or will someday be better and the new game will attract many new fans and one day be the FM of the baseball genre.
Very exciting time to be a PC baseball fan
