Go play FM and enjoy all the bells and whistles that it offers. All these other games you keep brining up (Farming Sim, Pro Cycling Mgr for example) all come from bigger studios with more resources. I have worked in the software industry for 25 years as a tester, developer and in support and when you only have 3 to 5 dedicated software devs working on a program instead of 20+ like the bigger companies do, you will never achieve the same amount.

So while comparing FM and OOTP may not seem silly to you, they are not playing the same game in terms of resources. SI did start out small, all companies do....but not all get lucky and find someone to back them financially and can grow as fast and as large as SI did....would OOTPD like for that to happen? I am sure they would love it,, but fact are they are still a small team that work on the core game and it was not until recently they got the backing of a bigger company. So like Markus said in that other thread, give him the same number of resources and then you can talk.

I agree that there are things that I would like to see improve that have either not been touched or have made very little progress over the years, but does that take away from my enjoyment? No, not at all, I still buy the new version and get my 100's of hours in before the next version is out. I also play FM, but I tend to skip versions mainly because I am just not that into Soccer/Football, but I do enjoy some of the aspects that it has that OOTP does not. Why not just enjoy both games and enjoy the escape it brings that both game offer?

OOTP was a small team before they sold the company. Now I’m not so sure they can use that defence anymore.
