Same with FHM.
What if PT brings in so much cash that Markus is able to hire a select group of individuals that will focus on nothing else but improving the historical side of the game? This is something I really hope happens. '

OOTP has real transactions. It has real lineups. It has the ability to retire players according to history and the ability for players to miss seasons according to history. Isn't the next step, for real lineups with real game day rosters ? No more Ty Cobb isn't in the starting lineup, but the AI will use him as a pinch hitter every game, so he's basically Cal Ripkinesque if you use real lineups. Creating seasons with real lineups, real transactions and real daily rosters would be a daunting task, but doable if the workforce is in place. OOTP adds this feature and it will be unstoppable. With other games that offer the above, you have to purchase each season individually. The other games do not have career mode, so you don't get to watch a players career stats evolve.

I currently dabble in PT, but I doubt I will do so when I get around to purchasing 20. But, oh how I want it to be a success.
