No Luck getting an answer to this in the General forum so I'll try here. I will never ever play a fictional league. Only historicals. I tried the demo when it first came out. That was a big mistake as I wasted my demo with a sub-standard version of the game and it seems like thay can't get the demo updated for whatever reason. Anyway, it seems now like they have the game moving in the right direction. I post this here to find out if the historical aspect of the game has improved enough for me to consider buying this game. So here are some questions: Are pitchers still becoming pretty much useless after they turn 30? Does the Lahman import process seem to work properly and give proper ratings? Can you change the reserve roster to hold more than 10 players? Are there any areas that are weak for the historical player? What is the biggest improvement for the historical player? I have owned every version of OOTP since the '99 version and have bought them all as soon as they came out up until this version. I want to continue supporting this series as it has provided me with thousands of hours of enjoyment. Will I get the same enjoyment out of this version?
