A lot of players love the playing out of games as a team manager. OOTP as far as managing goes does a really good game day experience. It also really does the crunching of numbers to get realistic results really good. So many players just like to sim 20 seasons and see their results. I don't like the managing/playing out of day to day games. I usually only play out a game when I acquire a new player or calling someone up to the show for their first big game. Some kind of milestone etc.
Me I am here for the GM experience. Sadly not much has changed in 5 versions. And it does get boring because its always basically the same. The GM experience is not dynamic and doesn't feel "alive" it is very flat and lifeless because everything is static. It's not 100% static but so much is static that its irrelevant to distinguish.
In OOTP 20 I only completed 1 season in the base game then I switched to Perfect Team because I needed something fresh. This year while being mostly the same 21 has felt fresh to me at least. I'm sure it will wear off soon though. So Perfect Team is always an option.
Some players because of the stale nature of things are led down the path of fictional universes. So everything feels new and fresh. New team locations and finances and players.
Me personally I can't get into fictional yet but it is an option.
The hardest teams with the MLB default are probably Miami, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Detroit. Because they all are small markets with no money. Bottom 5 financial teams basically. Then you just have to pick whichever has the worst MLB players and the worst minor league system. Pitt is probably the best out of the 5 listed.
