I'm not a long time OOTP player. I come from a board game background. I played several different OOTP iterations and, honestly, was always disappointed in the stats as compared to my experience with Strat-O-Matic and Replay.
Fast forward to V-18... I play, I might add, single season historical replays ONLY. The game simulation engine, w/ V-18, totally satisfied me and I had "confidence" (and proof in the pudding from my replays) that '61 Maris or '30 Hack Wilson weren't going to provide off the charts stats. In fact Raj hit 60 homers and Hack knocked in 204, 13 more than in real life. With that said, the game presentation, including the out of town scoreboard, the team stats, the old time ballpark creations, the face gen players, the 3-d animations (my favorite!), the post game highlight options.... anyway, what I'm rambling on about is this... I'm a big believer in supporting the designers of my favorite hobby. Even if the OOTP team gave me nothing more than player spray charts in '20, I'd still pre-order, which I did. LOL!!
