I had DMB for years. I must have sunk $500-600 in the game. I loved it. But it was too predictable. I hated running drafts knowing exactly how the players were supposed to perform. It killed the realism for me because IRL you have no way of knowing that Darryl Strawberry would actually be very good but Danny Goodwin would totally bomb. But in DMB you draft guys in history knowing ahead of time if they are HoF players or not. And when you draft against the AI you can't help but kill it knowing when the AI picks Steve Swisher and leaves you with Carlton Fisk that you are pretty much set. In OOTP5 maybe you are, maybe you aren't. Fisk looks pretty good, but with the dynamics of the game you'll never know for sure until you actually play him.
