As a big fan of both companies and owner of pretty much every title in both companies stables....I'd like to point out that OOTP has been worked on a lot longer than any of the games over at Wolverine. They're a younger, newer company. With that said....I'm very impressed with the amount of polish Gary's games have had considering they are mostly 1st and 2nd generation titles.

The fun factor (for me) is pretty close. OOTP is more fleshed out in terms of custimization, in terms of the vast amounts of historical data. OOTP has come a long way since its first and 2nd versions. Wolverines games are in could be compared to the OOTP generation cycle in the following:

DDSPB is basically TPB 3 (TPB 2003, TPB 2005, DDSPB) is the equivilent of OOTP 3.

DDSCB is the sequel to TCB which would be OOTP 2

TPG 2 would also be the equivilent of OOTP 2.

I'm not sure about Puresim/DDSB because I wasn't around for every version of PS. I know its further a long probably in the OOTP 5 or 6 range.

My point is that at this stage of Gary's stable of games....I'm extremely impressed with how polished they are. I find them easy and fun to pick up, addictive...and most importantly....easy to become immerssed into your respective leagues.

To say Wolverine or their stable of games is a joke is insulting and couldn't disagree more. I can't wait till their games are on their ninth generation cycle. Heck who am I kidding....I can't wait for just the next versions.

With that said....the wait for OOTP 9 is killing me.
