I gotta agree, ITP was just plain fun... sure it isn't used by online leagues or as in depth as OOTPX but it was just fun. The fact that it was fun as hell is to it's credit because it was also incredibly flawed. Your player had only the most tenuous attachment to his team (you got in drinking contests with teammates, and that was pretty much it), it was too easy (with the ultimate workout) and it was pretty predictable... but we still play it to this day because it was fun.
Just look at the depth of OOTPX and you can just imagine how awesome playing ITP2 would be. Imagine how the uniforms would change, your player could even age, he could play in winter leagues, there could be more for him to spend money on, he could do interviews, he could be on freaking magazine covers... the possibilities are almost endless... and one would hope, most of the heavy lifting would already be done with the OOTPX engine.
I think Road to the Show mode sucks on MLB 09, it can't even capture a 1/10th of the fun I have playing ITP and I would pay (and so would others) for a new, more immersive Inside the Park baseball. Please make it so.
