OOTP vs. FM Revisited

But my main gripe with the game is the size of it; it's just all way too big to get into and even in the one or two times I HAVE been able to get into it, it just felt too much like work and not enough like fun. To each their own, but to me OOTP has just enough size to be fun while FM is tunneled into one type of play and goes too far to have fun with. But it's still a good enough series to get me to try every year, even if I usually only end up putting about 15-25 hours into it.
You can make the game as small as you like it especially with the classic mode.
