It isn't about learning curve, I got past the learning curve. I have no problem with the league setup function. It is the ingame stuff I can't get past, everything takes more time and effort. Virtually every function requires mining an extra screen or two. Simply controlling more than one team requires signing off one team and on to the other and setting up manager profiles. Then there is the information screens themselves, I find them cluttered and unappealing. I was praying that it was the learning curve, it wasn't.... I simply don't find OOTP6/7/8 enjoyable enough to play anymore. I use 6.5 for my online league and Puresim for my solo leagues. Puresim is not as advanced as 6/7/8 but Shaun is still working on it and I find the fun is still there.

Personally I find attributing "the learning curve" to those of us that don't like OOTP2006/7/8 insulting. Most of us that don't like the new versions started with OOTP2+ and love the game. I imagine we all had high hopes and expectations for the new game... to assume we just gave up because we weren't smart enough or had enough patience to "learn" to love the new game is ridiculous.
