I think the ability to continue a save through multiple year's games might be OOTP's most underrated feature.

It also proves why OOTP is the best. A game like Madden or NBA 2K would never do that because no one would buy the new game the next year as they barely add any new features from year to year. OOTP is so great because, even though we are simply continuing our save, OOTP adds so much to the game each year that most of us still want to buy it.
Was just talking about this in Slack with some other GMs in the online league that I run.

The MoneyBall Union started in real life 2004 and is going strong in 2018, 14+ years! In game we have gone from 2023 and currently in the playoffs in 2089. We've had multiple commissioners (I've been commish for 4.5yrs) and 148 different human general managers!

I believe we started in OOTP5!!

All of this driven by a bunch of baseball lovers and the amazing vision of Markus and his baby, OOTP.
