OOTP and games like The Show really are apples and oranges. They are both fruit but the similarity ends there. Because of it's big graphics and "in-game" realism it will always be more attractive to the casual gamer and fan. OOTP appeals to more of a niche crowd. Although that niche gets bigger every year. Most of the gamers EA appeals to don't know what OPS, FIP, WAR, wOBA mean. Or if they do it never occurs to them to consider them in trades. OOTP players do though!
