I've not historically been a fan of OOTP because I've tended to view it as a "price of hot dogs" type of sim that has that focus at the expense of statistical accuracy. The PT universe appealed to me because it doesn't have those elements in it--just find your favorite players and set your lineups. I've enjoyed accumulating favorites of mine, and I'm currently fielding a team comprised entirely of players with last names beginning with the letter "M". It's been entertaining watching how they do (short story: not well). However, I'm not motivated to repeat that process every few months. I understand that it's not a conspiracy--it's a business model. But ultimately I suspect it will not attract many like me, who aren't hardcore OOTP buffs, and lure them away from the other simulation options out there. As noted in another response, it will split the playerbase which may not be healthy for PT in the longer run.

If it were web based that would solve the problem of not splitting the player base.
