I don't think OOTP will appeal to the casual sports fan or the causal computer game fan. My wife is both. She enjoyed playing Madden against me and she even played through Oblivion & Skyrim on her own but she didn't last a day on OOTP. I think most women who are casual sports fans are fans of the visual component of the sport. The spectacle of it. OOTP appeals to those who are fans of the details of it. I'll bet if you visit any major league game and ask everyone there what WAR, FIP, or wOPS is 90% won't know. If you ask as many OOTP players I'd bet 90% will know exactly what they are and how they are calculated. My wife can name most of the players on the Marlins if she saw a picture but I'll bet she can't tell you Marcel Ozuna's slugging percentage with RISP. I could and I play OOTP almost every day.
