If the answer to any one of these is "no", then IMHO it should not be posted.

Well really, no post is ever NECESSARY. It's OOTP not cancer-curing.

But I honestly believe the original poster does not want help but instead just wants to get a reaction. If he wanted help he would ask questions rather than make one lifetime post bashing the game.

But really, I am borderline computer-illiterate (I can't even load the patch b/c I can't figure it out) and the game is easy for me. If you are an IT consultant and can't figure it out, you're just not trying. And why bash something you haven't tried to figure out? Because you want a reaction.

A great fantastic friggin engine thrashed by the most unintuitive menu ever created. Why would the top 5 players of my opposing team for today be easier to find than whatever it is lets you enter play by play (im guessing it still has pbp). Anyway, as an IT consultant, i can honestly say if this were productivity software, i would ban it from all clients as it generates more questions than does anything. I'll just reload 6 or play BM i guess as 9 is junk. How did it go from a baseball sim to a spreadsheet designer?

Am I supposed to care? I know that may sound harsh, but damn man, I didn't even read the manual, and I've never had a problem. I know others have said this same thing, adding that they are just average Joes. Well, I can't say that, cause I am a genius.

But, that just shows this game is for Joes & smart guys like me.

It's funny, but I didn't experience any growing pains at all with the new generation. Maybe it's because I was already a FM player?

I don't put much stock in the original poster's (alias?) bitch and bail tactic. I suppose I should have let the troll die and not bump, but I had to say something. And I'm a non-IT, non-computer savvy guy who has never had a problem with the interface, instructions, etc.

I lose all interest in any poster that throws out something to try and make themselves look important or smart.

Well as an IT consultant ... blah blah blah
