At no point in my post did I say the game was difficult to use or confusing. I said the creation of real-life rosters should not require the sheer amount of data entry and painstaking detail that it does.

These two paragraphs seem to be in tension with each other. If you don't want "painstaking detail," then creating simple MLB rosters in a spreadsheet, then importing them as a CSV, is not very difficult or time-consuming. (In fact, others have already done just that.) The reason "real rosters" have taken so long is precisely the attempt to create a "realistic baseball experience" with full minors, etc. I can't imagine any way that the game could make that quicker or more automatic.
BTW, I understand the urge to go off on some frustrating detail of a game you've bought; I've done the same myself with other games (and OOTP 2006). So I don't agree with those who ascribe you ulterior motives or so on, & I won't flame you. And you shouldn't feel embarrassed if you end up loving the game and deciding to post a
mea culpa in a couple of months.
