I wouldn't call Action PC a joke, as a sim it's pretty amazing. Where it falls short is, well, it's just not fun. The playcalling is technical and the animation is too fast and you can't tell what's happening.

After a few months of wrestling with it, I got Strat-O-Matic and that's pretty awesome. The playcalling is understandable, you can make it as simple or as complex as you want, and the animation is easy to decipher.

What all games need though, is an easy way to sim a game and watch it. Both Strat and Action PC have that ability, but you have to jump through a few hoops to make it happen. Hopefully the OOTP version will make it just as easy as they do in the baseball game.
