OOTP is the best "ratings-based career mode" baseball sim. Diamond Mind is the best "statistical replay in season mode" baseball sim......IMHO

OOTP is inexpensive, Diamond Mind can be very expensive because you cannot import players from Lahmans database and you must purchase season disks for each season unless you want to manually enter each player into a player editor.

Not to mention the lack of any financial system. There are quirks in OOTP's financials but that's better than none at all.

I got DMB 9 a few weeks ago and haven't played it yet.

I might need to check it out again.

DMB 9 is expensive, and despite what some may say still has it's own share of quirks and odd happenings(not perfect by any stretch of the imagination-and yes I've been running a local league for 10 years now so I know where of I speak).

Actually after 2 days of staring at my monitor I think I have it figured out. The transaction screen was a little confusing, but I understand it now.

Just wondering...what do most ppl put their difficulty settings on?

I started my first historical league on average level and it took me about 1 full season before I really had everything down and was winning unrealistically. Since then, I put all my other leagues I've started on All-Star.
