Some people have tried OOTP and decided against the purchase. Or, if they bought the game, they gave up on it quickly. I would be interested in hearing from them. Is OOTP missing something obvious? What do other text sims offer than OOTP does not? Would adding some of these features broaden the appeal of OOTP? "Overhearing" the conversations on other message boards (for other baseball text sims), I often hear people make outdated claims about OOTP. For example, they often dismiss OOTP as a GM-type game only. It is that, sure -- but offers so much more. Unfortunately, these claims go unchallenged and, I'm sure, many potential customers look elsewhere for their baseball fix. I think it would help if we could correct these misperceptions about OOTP (in OOTP advertising, for a start?).
