Oh no doubt! I agree with everything you said and completely aware. Not trying to compare them like that. I purchase both OOTP and FM every year for the past 6 or so years. Love and enjoy both. The only thing I wish OOTP baseball had that FM had was the scouting system, the way FM develops their players, their ratings (current ability and potential), not a fan of the "dynamic" rating in OOTP. In FM a players potential is set. It doesn't change, but it doesn't mean he reaches that point - theres a lot of variables at play. With OOTP baseball, I've followed player progressions from the commission mode and it is just all over the place day by day. Potential doesn't and shouldn't change - perceived potential (scouting) changes though, but under the hood it shouldn't. It is all about how close you get to your potential. FM's and OOTP's rating and development system are both great but I love FM's so much more and as a bigger baseball fan and soccer, I just wish OOTPs rating and scouting system followed FM's.
