"Then there are the users that believe it is, at the end of the day, a computer baseball game that does a pretty good job of what it sets out to do. I've played since [OOTP v21] and over the years they've added many things I think are a waste of time and that I will never use. They have also added many things that I totally support and have made the game better for me. I concentrate on the good and pretty much don't comment on the added features I'll never use. If someone out there has produced a better baseball game I haven't seen it."

I agree with this. That doesn't make me a "psychophant". I too look forward to Version 25.

Maybe if we could move from rants to specifics, we could find solutions. I would suggest that the OP provide some screen shots of "half-baked features and poor AI" or "set up a complex league only to have it fall apart because no one in resting thought to test how leagues look in 5-10-20 seasons" or "a simple quick start can go wrong". I play the game in a similar way (no Perfect Team!), and would not characterize my experience in such terms. Not that I haven't had issues. They have been resolved, in my case. Incidentally, I take OP at his word and do not doubt he has had problems. Let's explore how that happened.

I am not one who reacts poorly to the game being criticized. After all, that is how things get improved. I do, however, react poorly to vague attacks and personal insults and cheap shots. So lets move on to examples and real problems, shall we?
