I never play full seasons but I have replaced pitching staffs from former teams like the 86 Mets staff on the 62 Mets. I love the way strat plays and the ease of creating any league you can come up with. But for fun I was wondering what OOTP was like. I have played Action PC and do not like the baseball but love there football.

Played Strat C&D since late 70s' and OOTP since Version 12. Two different games (one you understand where the results come from through understanding the board game) vs. OOTP where you don't really see the engine visible. OOTP value is 100 x more than Strat in terms of what you get for your money$. You can buy the OOTP17 game for less than the price of a season roster from Strat. Other benefits of OOTP is the fictional play and the depth of the universe involved in terms of feeder leagues, ind leagues. You just can't compare the games. This is not even taking into account the visuals & finances.
In my books, Strat would be best for replays - actual transactions. OOTP for pretty much everything else.
