"Overhearing" the conversations on other message boards (for other baseball text sims), I often hear people make outdated claims about OOTP.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?).
How about 3D highlights? I play a cricket text sim that has 3D highlights. I rarely use the feature, but I can see how it would appeal to the casual player. It's also not a difficult feature to implement. It's all pre-determined animations and physics.
