No, TBH have never heard of it. The only sim I'd ever played before OOTP was DMB, and it only briefly.
Not growing up with baseball, not being from a country where it has any real impact or importance (I've never seen a live MLB game), means my experience with it is totally foreign to most. I have an intricate knowledge of the early years, because that was what interested me when I picked the game up, and so I studied it intensely. But I have so many blind spots in the later years and can barely stand this modern version of it. Through this save and wandering through baseball history in the Bucs save, I will no doubt remedy that to some degree - and am most looking forward to doing so.
I picked the game up properly for the first time just after this season - when the Bash Brothers joined my beloved, beleaguered A's and made them not just competitive but exciting. But, really, post-1950 excluding 1988-1995 is a baseball wasteland for me apart from the more widely-known events. So I am really loving the granularity of this save and the new perspective and understanding it will bring me and cant wait to march through it with Pittsburgh chasing titles.
