Speaking of loving and hating 3D, I hate it because I like it too much. Last version with the pawns I played it once and went back to 2D. Plus there were very few stadiums to use. Now with moving sprites with legs and the right colors and, thanks to all the modders hard work, a huge inventory of 3D parks from all eras I can't go back to 2D.
Here is the problem. I've been collecting 2D park images and formatting them for OOTP since OOTP 8! Gigabytes of 2D stadium pics, now just HDD clutter! All that work!
