OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - My 1983 iOOTP replay with the Phillies: the stretch run

Did the virtual fans riot when you traded away any local favorite? I am replaying the 1976 Phillies (now about to start 1979), and am tempted to show Larry Bowa and Tug McGraw the door.

I learned from trading Gary Maddox for Fred Lynn that fans will tolerate the loss of a favorite player if they get another popular player in return. I guess that means I can't trade Bowa for a prospect without some grief.

Among my daily amusements in real life is reading Phillie fans' comments on philly.com. The conflicting opinions about various players are always good over morning coffee.
