The DMB scheduler I think is even better than stickware.
I also like the DMB allows you to program your pitching staff. You can program in lefty-left and righty-righty pitcher-batter combinations.
I concede DMB has better gameplay, but I don't think it is light years better. I had DMB back when it didn't do pitch by pitch gameplay, and even when it got it I played it that way infrequently. Took too long to play a whole season that way. But except for subtle nuances, I think PbP is very similar between the two games. And both could stand some improvement from the AI decision making in gameplay.

I'll agree that the schedule generator is a weakness in the game. Hopefully, it'll be worked on in future versions.
Bottom line, this is the best baseball simulator for leagues that I have ever seen. I've been running online leagues since 1999, and nothing comes close to OOTP. BBPro was on the right track before Sierra abandoned it.
