This is my first OOTP comment. I have been playing OOTP for about 4 years now and really enjoy the game. In the past, I have played Strat-O-Matic, Earl Weaver, Tony LaRusso, High Heat, and Baseball Mogul. My favorite game is High Heat 2002. After that they really "jumped the shark". To me, a great baseball simulation is a combination of sights, sounds and AI. I will supply my own hot dogs with plenty of mustard. In OOTP, I am a solo player and predominately play fictional Japanese leagues. Although I have experimented with many other formats including my old high school league - the Michigan Mega Conference (MMC). I have been reading the promotional email about OOTP 9 and I am a little disappointed. Most of what I have read was about the changes to historical leagues, skins and the scouting system. I don't play historical leagues much and I turn off the scouting system in my fictional leagues since they appeared to be more of a hindrance than a help. I once read an OOTP forum comment that "all leagues are fictional". I agree and like to start the way. Since I have been playing OOTP, the biggest and best improve to this simulation has been FaceGen. I think to substantial move forward, OOTP must improve graphics. This would include providing the latest version of FaceGen and the option to morph png files - like for MLB players. I do plan to pre-order OOTP 9 without these features but I will certainly be looking for these enhancements in OOTP 10. I look forward to any and all comments.
