In OOTP I had to stop playing historical "real" leagues because Joe DiMaggio would be a backup OF in Philadelphia or Mickey Mantle was a 3B in St. Louis. Once I made the transition to fictional leagues the games became real to me. No going back now. I have my own Koufax, Bonds, Mantle and Trout in different times places and run scoring environments.
The beauty of OOTP is the scope of its ability. There is no other game that has the combination of accuracy customizability and value.
Oh, did I mention, I like this game.  |
Great post. I think if you ever gave "real" leagues another shot, you would be stunned by just how far this game has come in regards to historical play. It will never be "Diamond Mind" or "Strat," but I don't want it to be either of those. In my opinion, it's now "Diamond Mind" and "Strat" that should want to become more like OOTP.
