The MLB rules can be pretty confusing, but one of the great things about OOTP for me was really allowing me to suffer through it and learn alot about how it works. I know OOTP doesn't have some of the more tricky logic implemented in places, but for the most part, the key elements are there.

Ultimately playing OOTP has made me realize that 6 years of team control and then a monster contract is not a system I like at all. When you add in those 3 option years, teams can nearly control decent MLB players for the entirety of their careers, if they're a shuttle-up-and-down kind of guy.
I have ruined some careers of good players where maybe I had too much OF talent, and because I shuffled them up and down with injuries, September call ups, etc, that I controlled them for a large part of their prime years , especially when you add in arbitration.
