I like how Orcin described it. As an avid player of both games they each scratch a different itch. In the show I love playing diamond dynasty because I was a big time baseball card collector as a kid. I refuse to spend my own money on it (and I don't care if people do, it isn't my money) and love grinding away to get cards. It's mindless fun after a long day of teaching and coaching.

In out of the park I get statistical accuracy of a certain time period or the joy of creating a brand new fictional universe (which I am so guilty of) and watching it play out. Sometimes I like to play historical and change history. Other times, I am the gm of my club and want to see if I can do a better job than the real life guys. It is a different sort of immersion for sure. One thing I will say about ootp is that I do not consider it mindless like the show. I'm always paying attention in my setups.

I'm looking forward to what this perfect team is going to look like. It seems like it is aimed at taking the same element of what I like about the show and adding it to ootp. The Dev's already stated that it won't cost extra personal money to pull good cards so I'm inclined to give it a shot.
