Thanks for the great write up. In another computer game along with the OOTP app version of this game. I played out every inning of every game and lived and died by the result as if it was real. I had a amazing feeling when I was managing the 78 Yankees and was down to Cleveland 9-0 in the 8th and won 11-9 in 13 innings and was sick for days when I replayed the 84 Cubs and held a 2-0 lead vs the Tigers in game seven going to the bottom of the 9th. A one out walk to Trammel followed by back-to-back HR's by Gibson and Parrish I was miserable

Now that I have had this game for a couple of months I find there is so much more you can do I manage games less and sim more. I make sure my lineup is set to my liking, I like to rest players based on my schedule not on "every third game", then just quick play. The difficult part of the RDL with me managing a team is to resist the temptation of having to have certain players because I liked them growing up.

I can see myself becoming and all out sim player as time goes by and given all the computer games in various sports I never thought I'd say that.
