Given the constant battles and differences of opinion about the future direction OOTP should take, coupled with the fact that Markus seems "locked in" to coding the game in a similar way that he always has (waiver problems, AI roster management problems etc) does anyone here feel OOTP will reach the level of greatness that SI's other two management sims have? FM and EHM are widely considered the best two sports management games on the market, and it wouldn't surprise me if FM won best game of the year with many publications, and possibly best game ever. Also, throw in the fact that I am beginning to see a different audience for those games than this one. It seems to me the average OOTP player has no patience, and always wants instant gratification, even if it means an inferior product that might be "dumbed down" when compared to it's counterparts. What are people's thoughts on this?
