I took a year off, so to speak, from playing OOTP after being totally addicted during the 2002 season. But I bought OOTP5 last night, and am already "rehooked" again...
In my first game with my beloved Florida Marlins -- yes, I was a fan long before last year's World Series -- I got thrown out in the top of the ninth with the score tied 1-1. The computer AI made a pitching change after I got the heave, the new pitcher walked guys to load the bases and I eventually lost 3-1...
You gotta love this game!!
