And let's talk about development track records: OOTP has a history of success developing ONE game. OTOH even established sports sims can die a cruel fate (does no one remember Front Page Sports football?). At the time FPS's development track record spoke for itself... And then FPS died.
Geez peeps, you have no sense of game history or the costs it is going to take to keep this project floating. If (when) this game comes back with consistently lower revenues than OOTP how long will it be before the development plug gets pulled like with EHM? It happened with EHM and FPS.
BTW, EHM didn't even have a history mode, although FPS did. But look at strategy/history games like Europa Univeralis and you'll see that there is an increasing movement towards ways for companies to generate more revenue while, at the same time building their games up. Would you rather have a cheesy history mode slapped on or a more robust add on for a few bucks? Don't answer that, what you guys want is a robust FREE item because the baseball games have it... and then when this game doesn't generate enough revenue you'll bitch about why this game isn't made any longer.....
Yep, my idea makes no sense at all...

I respect your right to believe the game will fail without your idea, please respect my right to believe it won't.
Your entire argument is based around the fact that they need more money to make this game work & last.
I don't agree with you and the suggestion makes no sense at all.
