Yep. However, my biggest problem is that I can't take a step back when I'm playing with my favorite team. I've always tweaked my favorite team (the Twins) a little bit because I'm a little bias. I have trouble not doing so, but I'm not hurting anyone.

$34.95 is expensive, but the OOTP4 and OOTP5 haven't disappointed me. I'm not sure they could. They are extensive and deep - almost too deep for the casual baseball fan. However, I don't consider myself a casual baseball fan.

I can't speak against the other games (I'm assuming Baseball Mogul) because I've never played them. However, OOTP is a game that isn't set to recreate baseball history. It is set to create. Think of it as an alternate reality.

Hope you enjoy the game! I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it.
