That will mark the end of this thread, as we've hit February 1, 2021, the official start of spring workouts for the 2021 season.
I will continue to play with OOTP19 as they work out the bells and whistles with XX.
If I play, a 2022 season, I may move over to playing with the St. Louis Cardinals by than, I probably will purchase OOTPXX at that time.
