I usually buy every other version of OOTP, and I'm pretty happy with version 9. The version X feature list is not so far awe-inspiring enough for me to pre-order. Once it comes out and I see the demo, I may spring for it, especially if the news and play descriptions have become richer. But until then, what's the harm in asking each other for impressions of the announced feature list? Maybe you can point something out that will make one of us on the fence say, "Hmmm... that really would be a feature I'd benefit from." You might in your wisdom save me ten bucks. And surely, surely this league of distinguished gentlemen would never pass up an opportunity to pontificate one more time on the subjects you've been beating to death since version 1.

Lighten up! The OP is paying you a compliment by asking your perspective.
Except that some of the responses you refer to are from posters who are decidedly not fanboys.

I would have no clue how to convince someone to buy. There aren't that many baseball sims out there. Warts and all OOTP is number 1 or 1a. If it isn't, someone should tell me which two beat it.
