I just purchased the game a few weeks ago and I must say I am now completely addicted. I am sure I am doing everything wrong, but it has really been fun. Although trying to field a competitive team with my Padres is not so easy!!!

Yes, again I just blasted the folks who make and administer this game, and for good reason, but it is overall a fascinatingly good product. We tend to look for perfection and are disappointed when it isn't perfect, but that in itself is a measure of how great a game this is. I just wish . . . ah, never mind.

It's all good. Constructive criticism has gotten the game to this point, no doubt! Keep up the scrutiny

Will do! Alright, where to start? Well, first, he's a Yankees fan. That just isn't right. Second, those 1998 Yanks had jerks like Knoblauch, Brosius, O'Neil, Strawberry, Sojo, Ledee, Lloyd, Nelson... guys I just never liked. Third, and most importantly, he's a Yankees fan.

I've found it amusing for quite some time that two of the nicest, and most helpful people (especially for noobs) are a Yankees fan and Red Sox fan, and how well they can "co-exist"

.

If only Democrats and Republicans could do that. I mean for crying out loud, that's only politics. With the Yankees and Red Sox we're talking BASEBALL man! Nothing more important in the universe than that!

It also shows how great a game this is, right?

Yes, both the real version which I love without reservation, and this electronic version which I love as well, much as I dump on it once in a while.

OOTP needs full-time business operations and marketing management!

Somebody to tell Markus, "Hey, don't release that final patch with untested features thrown in!" and, later on, "Hey, have you seen the complaints on the forums? I told ya so!"

Of course that wasn't really constructive criticism so much as just criticism. Constructive criticism would have been to tell you to become a Red Sox fan. Or at least an Orioles fan. That way there would be nothing but apathy involved.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my daughter lives in Boston and although still a Yankees fan, she does feel some affection for the Red Sox. So, she and I share a "If it can't be the Yankees, let it be the Red Sox" kind of attitude. Sorry, that's as much as I can offer you.

By the way, you forgot to smile.

Wait, and you haven't disowned her?

What's wrong with your parenting skills?!
