"most people" aren't looking for a complex simulator. They are looking for something that makes them feel like managing a baseball game, however shallow that might seem to the crowd here.
I very much enjoyed playing Pursue the Pennant which became Diamond Mind Baseball because it took care of a lot of stuff for you: historical lineups, stats keeping, scheduling, etc. I moved over the OOTP with version 2 but I have discovered that, as I age, the depth of OOTP is more than I really have patience for. It's not the game, it's me. I know I can do everything simply, but the menus and the numbers.....

my OOTP favorite was 6.5 Simple and fun. I still buy every year but rarely play.
