My two cents....
Yup.

I played the heck out of Mogul... '98 I think it was. I even had everyone at my office playing it. But then I found OOTP2 and I've never looked back.

I try Mogul every other year or so just for nostalgia sake, but over a decade into the franchise, and their sim engine still stinks, and there is still no position player fatigue. Pretty inexcusable.
