....do people pine for animations and sound for a text based sim? I totally do not understand this at all. This should be the first clue that this game isn't for you. Please go and play a console game. I realize that I'm coming across as a jerk for saying that.

A poster some time ago spelled out at length why this game should not be dumbed down and that maybe this isn't the game for everybody...I would have to agree. While I want the sales of OOTP to be high, I don't want the statistical realism of the game to be sacrificed at the expense of animation and sound.

If you don't think it will then just look at the console games, plenty of animation, graphics and sound. But this comes at the expense of minimal or rigid minor league systems, limited or incomplete stats, limited free agency, overall limited customization, etc, etc. Between those two areas I'll leave the animation and sound and take deep stats, ability to customize and everything that OOTP has delivered on in the past and hopefully in the future.
