I agree with you 100%. The whole DIPS thing has left a bad . I would love to be able to use the OOTP5 engine in v6, but that's not possible. The conversion was done in a way to try to adjust a pitchers ratings to fit better into the DIPS system. So you end up with players rated based on one system while trying to play using another system (in addition to the fact that some fields like Avoiding Hits are no longer there).

Just to reiterate, I started this thread in the hope that this exact problem would be fixed. I didn't intend to start a long debate. Since there are clearly some people who don't believe in the DIPS system and the game has the "partial" ability to use both engines allready it would seem to make sense to patch it to allow it the OOTP5 engine to be used without the editor having to be on and without seeing the DIPS ratings when the OOTP5 engine is on. I think most people have made up their mind on this allready so allowing the OOTP5 engine to function fully while still keeping the new engine would make both sides happy.
