Well to each their own I guess. As for me I've been playing the same game since v4 in 2002 and have imported my game into each new version upon release. Other than the total rewrite of OOTP in 2006 I've never had any problems. 2006 didn't surprise me with it being a total rewrite of the code so I simply kept a backup of my v6.5 game just in case. Their was a problem (as I recall all imported CF from a v6.5 game weren't assigned any position) that did cause me to import my 6.5 league again and with the patch being so quick I only lost the first 10 games of the season.

12 years of real time and in my 26th season (yeah I play 'em all out so avg a little over 2 seasons per version) and I have not run into any issues using a release version of OOTP yet (other than the 2006 rewrite) that would make me have to either trash my game or go back and restart.

Yeah we all have different tolerances of what we will accept and as wspahn21 says he wishes he wasn't so ocd so of course we're going to have a different experience and that's ok. But honestly there is nothing in my 12 year long term game that gives me any second thoughts. Other's mileage may vary
