Sorry, but I got off track...my whole rambling was to say that you first off have to keep your base...your core customers...coming back year after year after year...for something new and it can't just be the new release of the game. Sooner or later, they are going to say I'm good, I don't need the new version and you may have lost a long time customer...and you didn't really do anything wrong. I still think official OOTP created sets, whatever they happen to be, is a way to have additional products, but Markus set me straight years ago when I brought it up, that is not the route he thinks they should go.
In my opinion though, each year is a like a leaky bucket, losing satisfied gamers who don't feel the upgrade is worth the cost maybe at a quicker rate than gaining new ones. And true fantasy baseball players as many have pointed out here are not interested for the most part in day in and day out managing of a team in a simulation league. I agree with that, just thru knowing dozens if not hundreds of guys who dabble in fantasy leagues but could care less about simulation games. An social networking sites are fine, but all of that needs to be in conjunction with something bigger, they alone are not going to create a flood of new buyers...just my opinions.
