I know what you mean but I have to smile at the comparison to FM.
FM may sell more units than OOTP, but, having been a player of FM/CM since 2001, I have to say I really wonder why. OOTP baseball is infinitely more realistic, flexible and just plain fun than FM. I think many FM fans continue to spout the game's praises because they read the hype every year and just feel that that's what they are supposed to do. They have no experience with anything else, because for the most part there is no serious competition.
A soccer game with OOTP's flexibility, customizability and a dedicated user community to create real rosters for those who don't want to play fictional would bury the FM franchise in a couple of years.
