Agreed. There are many of us who got their first experience with computer baseball sims when MicroLeague Baseball was released. Ball flight was a huge factor in the anticipation and tension that could build up with that game. A sim can be text-based and also incorporate some graphic elements. MicroLeague did it, and it's no coincidence that Strat-O-Matic used similar elements once it released its own computer game. It makes the product more enjoyable and marketable for a larger segment of the audience. And it doesn't require a commitment to console-style 3D graphics.

There is no good reason why this shouldn't be added to OOTP as an option. I hope it's in the plans for OOTP 9 or a subsequent patch. This nearly led me to switch to PureSim last year, and if PureSim can improve in just a couple of other areas, then there wouldn't be much of a reason for me not to make the change.
