Each player will perform somewhat like he did during the season. No chance for change. If he leaves baseball (injury/retirement) he's out of the set. No 15 year career for Mark Fidrych. Maybe you want Dale Murphy to be a catcher, and Pete Rose at 2nd, but in those games, only what they did during the season you're playing is used.

I enjoy having Geroge Ruth getting 200+ wins & Babe Ruth hitting 400+ homeruns.
Nothing is finer then Joe DiMaggio & Ted Williams playing without military interuption.
I dont even mind, losing Norm Cash after 2 years to Injury. (The next replay he could make the Hall of Fame)


For recreating seasons i'd rather use ReplayBB (a card & dice game). It's slow but on target with stats.

I am still loving OOTP5 (and 6.5 too) with Catobase & the latest (or any) Arod/Garlon DB (with 30 or so Japan All Stars thrown in)
