Look at the problems I described and that was off the top of my head. And those problems have been in the game since OOTP.18 at least.

I didn't even get into the problems of the GUI or all the inconsistencies between views, screens and various GUI interfaces.

OOTP has too many white knights. Just give the game honest criticism.

I acknowledge the great job OOTP does on the field, projections and terms of stats.

It's just the moment you unfreeze the universe or interact with it as a human you can see all the holes the games have. And they are huge holes.

Trading, free agents, contracts, rule 5, 40 man, GUI, stories, personalities, owner goals, owner budget, anything to do with the owner, anything to with the city or fanbase, the financial model

Saying a game is borderline unplayable also doesn't mean the game can be fun and enjoyable.

The history of video games is loaded with unplayable games that were fun and still had huge followings.

The problem is the vast majority of the user base for OOTP basically just plays OOTP. They aren't gamers. They don't play dozens of games a year.
So they can't see all the problems with the game.

I can remember a game called Dead State. It had a small cult following. Enjoyable and fun but completely broken. I even loved the game. But it was beyond borderline unplayable. Still fun.

Stop white knighting OOTP. Just give the game honest criticism
