Yes, we will. And we'll hate it, and none of you will care. As Silvam14 described us, we'll be just a few broken eggs along the way.

Graphics is a mistake. It stands a good chance, despite reassurances, of hurting the core game, and there is the possibility that it will spell the beginning of the end of the franchise. It will certainly bring in users who like shiny objects and who have little or no understanding or appreciation for the nuts and bolts of baseball, who will band together, make comments like you do, and demand more and better graphics to the exclusion of all else, some of the users who have helped to make the game what it is today will leave, and a death spiral for the game of more graphics - and more graphics glitches - and less and less game will begin.

Because of the graphics decision I no longer believe in the future of OOTP and will begin looking for a long-term replacement so as to be ready if and when one becomes necessary.
