I for one, would be one of those forkers upset.
I don't want to oversimplify anybody's concerns...but if I want to replay one historical season, I'd go buy DMB or like product. If I want to manage historical teams & players over multiple seasons, with player progression, financials, GM capabilities, etc, & thus introduce variables that did not exist IRL, then OOTP would be the game I'd choose.
That does not mean OOTP should not continue improving the historical replay ability, thus proving it can portray the introduced variables properly, but I think splitting the product into 2 games is a big fat dealbreaker for many who enjoy both historical & fictional aspects of the game.
I dont like the scouting, I dont like the world league concepts, but it certainly does not force me to use it...and I believe it when Markus & co. say it did not occupy a significant amount of time to implement. Now sure...I'll buy that if it only took 5 minutes to implement & code, then thats 5 minutes better spent on perfecting something else. But that's probably something SI & Markus realize now, and might take back if they could.
Well...they can't, so all of those who are unhappy with some aspects, just keep letting them know about it, as I'm sure most fict & hist players agree with most suggestions. But to simply cut a game in half, which has many aspects & combinations many people like integrating, simply shouldnt be necessary.
