Wow, that is a really hard question. Until two or three years ago, I would have absolutely said, "MLB all day every day, OOTP is just a computer game." But, OOTP coming out with 3-D, and then improving it so much so quickly, combined with MLB becoming a relatively boring string of guys walking to plate to fidget with bats, gloves, cleats, etc., strike out, and walk back to the dugout, catchers visiting the mound more often in a game than I visit anyone I know in a year (at least they put a cap on this), and listening to the never-ending carping of the players against management and management against the players, it's a tough call now.

My heart says I cannot give up the real life game - but I admit that I care more about my OOTP team now and also find myself in the third inning of a real life game with no idea who is even winning, while I can tell you my fifth outfielder's wOBA against lefties with runners in scoring position (he's really good, by the way). So, I "say" real life, while admitting I'm not completely sure if that's true anymore.
