Refunds? Deception?
I recognize that I have no credibility with the community, as I have not visited the boards often, nor posted much.
Having said that, it is deceptive to market the game as having 2008 rosters when, by any measure, the game does NOT have those rosters. Missing players, players with no ratings at all, AAA teams with virtually no players. A quote from the web site: "Start a career with 2008 major league rosters including full minor leagues". Another: "Built-in 2008 Opening Day rosters." Both of these statements are patently false. This was a key marketing message for the new game, for heaven's sake!
I am not questioning the difficulty of creating such rosters. But either advertise that they have them, and deliver, or don't advertise that they have them.
I enjoyed OOTP2007, but wanted real rosters. So I ordered OOTP9 based on claims that such rosters would be included. They are not. I will be asking for a refund. After I sleep on it, I will probably hold off on the letter to my state attorney general and the Federal Trade Commission alleging a deceptive trade practice. But there has to be some disincentive to this type of marketing for future versions....
