A great fantastic friggin engine thrashed by the most unintuitive menu ever created. Why would the top 5 players of my opposing team for today be easier to find than whatever it is lets you enter play by play (im guessing it still has pbp). Anyway, as an IT consultant, i can honestly say if this were productivity software, i would ban it from all clients as it generates more questions than does anything. I'll just reload 6 or play BM i guess as 9 is junk. How did it go from a baseball sim to a spreadsheet designer?
Just take some time and read the manual. I am far from the smartest guy in the world, and I don't have any problems navigating, or finding things. If you can't find it in the manual, just ask a question in the forum. The community is usually quick to help anyone. It benefits the entire community to answer user questions, because that will result in a happier customer, and happier customers will tell their friends about the game, which means more sales, which means more money for the OOTP team to invest back into the product, which means a better product, which is good for everyone. So, before you give up on the game, give the community a chance to help you out.
