Boys of Summer League
http://mvn.com/bsl
Version: OOTP 6.51a
The league in real life started April 21, 2005. Using 2005 rosters, it lasted through 2012 before restarting October 5, 2006. Using 2006 rosters, the 2007 season is almost complete.
I bought OOTP 2006 using the preorder function and I have barely used it, and just bought a new computer. The OOTP 2006 game remains on the old computer, as I didn't think it was worth it to bring it over.
The statistical engine, the contracts ... it's all great stuff in 2006. The interface, to be blunt, is a joke. OOTP 6.5 has a great and easy interface. In 2006, it can get overwhelming with virtually no space in between the reams of names and stats all in white font with a blue background. It's just overly complicated and is not intuitive at all. OOTP 6.5 is genius when it comes to it. It's easy, simple, streamlined and not overwhelming.
When the new version comes out, I will not be preordering. I will follow the screenshots and the reviews with fascination and I will ask my friends what they think of the game. I will not consider moving my league over until the interface becomes far more intuitive, simplistic and streamlined.
Just compare the two screens of both games:
OOTP 2006:

OOTP 6.5:

A note: OAK is open in my league if anyone is interested.
