Please know I'm not criticizing OOTP's method in any way shape or form. I think it I actually prefer the generic. Heck, I use the combo of recalc and player development when I play historical/random debut, so my games take on a more "what if" feel from day one. I can say this without a doubt, I would much rather OOTP use generic splits and offer me every historical season from 1900 forward, than have OOTP painstakingly create each season by hand and sell me those seasons one by one. Oh and then there's the whole "Career Play" aspect of OOTP. Let's face it, "Career Play" is OOTP's drop the mic feature.
Can this be the reason Stratomatic charges so much for their season rosters? Especially considering how hard it would be to go back and recreated these splits vs. L/R. I know they have mentioned it before but, I never had anything to compare it against in terms of another game. Just thinking out loud.
