It's an engine that leaves you with a deficient player ratings system (subjective of course) and limits you to a baseball game representation where every pitcher, every batter, and every pitch will always feel almost exactly the same from one another. I'm not asking for The Show, but I honestly can't tell the difference between a 85mph fastball and a 100mph fastball, can't tell a ball from a strike most of the time, etc...
Even if you throw out the graphics part of it, you still have a boring ratings system where pitch velocity and pitch repertoire mean very little, the movement rating has absolutely nothing to do with actual movement, and on and on.
I love OOTP for what it is and I 100% agree that v25 is the best version. I just wish the developers' focus would shift from endlessly tinkering around the edges of a limited system and they instead started working toward an engine revamp that would make the game significantly better and more attractive to a broader audience. I'm aware this is not happening for a variety of reasons.
