Answers are in bold.

1.) How has OOTP baseball impacted knowledge acquisition of Sabermetric Data? - I already had a pretty strong sabermetric background before OOTP but looking up a few stats definitely taught me more.

2.) How do you find online leagues; what is the average time commitment and do they normally last? - I'd recommend checking the Online Leagues forum, which will likely be updated after OOTP 15 releases. Time commitment and length vary wildly by leagues - some leagues I've been in have existed for 10 real years, some have folded after one simmed season. As for time, some leagues you can just export and be done in 5-10 minutes while some leagues require writing and can help you get immersed but take significantly more time. Just pick what time and commitment you're looking for and you'll be able to find a league that fits you.

3.) If I buy the 2015 Version, will there be updates for following seasons or do I purchase the 2016 version? - OOTP is always getting updated with each version - you're not getting what is basically a roster update like with the Madden series for instance. Some people don't buy every year but I do to support the company and enjoy all the new features. OOTP 15 has some good new features and I'm sure OOTP 16 will too.

4.) Do you prefer single or multi player? - I'm mostly online leagues lately but I enjoy using OOTP's great flexibility to try a weird concept solo league every now and then.

Hope this helps!
