I have two (quite personal) reasons that don't want to see graph gets into game aside from the usual argument (like worries about Markus won't be able to spent as much time including game play, games might become unstable, games could be too big etc.)

1. What if graphic doesn't work? What I mean is if graphic failed buisness side, OOTP development could lose a lot of money, and given how small an OOTP is, every decision must be a sound one or we might not see another OOTP product. (and please do not argue that you can't lost money by adding graphics, there are companies that did)

2. I'm afraid that adding of graphic mght attract certain type of players that come in because of graphic but because the graphic is not as good as they wanted and started to badmouth the game, not sure if really worth it.

Now, I do want to see better graphics eventually implented into the game, but it should come at a time when gameplay is nearly perfect and Markus can afford have time and resource to take away from developing game play. (please don't say Markus could hire people to do the graphic and he can development gameplay independently, OOTP is not a big company as SI, maybe he can do this sometimes down the road, but not right now) So while I'm quite neutral about adding graphics, I don't think this should be a priority right now because I don't think Markus is ready to develop a somewhat decent graphic right now.
