I'm a big fan of Football Manager and have been playing it since 2007. I'm also a baseball fan and have heard over and over again how much I would love OOTP (I play a lot of the APBA baseball board game). Yesterday I listened to the "Press Row Podcast" and they had two guys who worked on OOTP basically hyping up the game. They did an excellent job, but I do have some questions that were not covered.

1) The year I most want to re-play is 1997 (Orioles). Do I have to buy that year or are all years already on the game if purchased? I know APBA you have to purchase the years you want to play.

2) If I replay the 1997 season and want to continue on into the future will rookies pop up when they should? Meaning will Adam Jones be in the 2003 MLB Draft for anyone to take or will he just automatically be on the Mariners?

3) Is the World Baseball Classic in the game? Is college baseball in the game?

4) To anyone who has played FM how does OOTP compare?

Thanks in advance.
