And it's great that those games offer that feature. And sure, it would be nice if OOTP had a feature like that.
But to be clear, nothing I'm saying has anything to do with judging which is better, OOTP or DMB (or whatever other game that isn't actually a sports
management sim you wish to put in that second spot.) It's like asking me whether I prefer my couch or my coffee pot. Well, if I want a comfortable place to sit or lie down, I prefer my couch. If I want to make coffee, my coffee maker has some clear advantages over the couch. Two different things, two different purposes, two different intentions.
I like them both.
DMB is a really good baseball historical/statistical simulation game.
OOTP is a really great sports management simulation set in the world of baseball.
These aren't the same thing. I guess it just mystifies why so many people here seem to conflate the gaming genres these games belong in and make comparisons that assume somehow that these games are actually competing in the same niche market. (There is overlap, sure, but from the evidence I've seen here, people who are looking for one to scratch the same gaming itch as the other end up very dissatisfied.)
