I played OOTP 5 until I got this game, and I agree. In 5 I'd rarely read the pbp anymore, the first few words told me exactly what happened and I skipped the rest. This is much better.
I think it could be even better... not that the guys writing it haven't done an excellent job (750+ pages of text), but as a writer I see very big possibilities... but the first step is to work out all the glitches, both in the game (baserunner moving on to 3rd via a grounder to third) and the xml file.
I've found a lot of glaring errors that the text guys are working through right now. They've worked hard on my pages of found problems, and will surely continue doing so. Anything I can do to help them I'll gladly do (including spending approximately 55 total hours last week reading every line of the xml file) because I think the play by play is an extremely important part of playing out the game... it can either draw you into the game, or it can be a mere listing of what just happened.
