This version has had some really nice under the hood improvements now that the team has had some time to work on it. I do like the way the statistics and player development engine is functioning, and I think the trade AI is also much improved.

Obviously though, I am still VERY disappointed in the scope of OOTP. The loss of the international leagues really cuts into the immersion of OOTP, and I am not sure it's ever going to be recoverable. I am still just not sure the focus of OOTP is ever going to be MANAGEMENT the way it is with FM. It still feels like a statistical simulator more than a manager. I guess that is the chosen direction of OOTP though, and it really still does that part very well.
