OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - OK After the last build, How is the Historical Aspect of the Game?

I agree with RWD -- a combo of both games would be the Field of Dreams of text sim baseball.

I always thought OOTP was far better than PureSim, but things have flipped with the newest version of both games. OOTP has a long way to go to get the historical stuff downpat and the in-game view is a mess when you can't see catcher arm, season stats while in post-season, only 6 of the 20-some lines of PBP text at a time, etc.

I have a little more confidence since my complaining got me on the beta testing team a couple of weeks ago and Markus definitely responded to my gripes and fixed the AI draft and the AI roster management issues for leadoff and cleanup hitters.

I just hope he does not treat the in-game issues as feature requests for another year and another $30 and delivers what should have been in this game for this $30.
