A related kind of funny story... so I've been replaying the Kansas City Royals history beginning with OOTP18. I've gotten thousands of hours of enjoyment from it. On STEAM the hours played show as:
OOTP15 - 218 hours
OOTP18 - 4,218 hours
OOTP19 - 71 hours
OOTP20 - 2 hours
OOTP21 - 3 hours
OOTP22 - 630 hours
I was perfectly content to play OOTP18 for the rest of my life, but then I saw all the cool looking new 3D stadiums in OOTP22!!! So I purchased 19, 20, and 21 to reach 22. (Money well spent! Plus with 4,000+ hours of enjoyment on OOTP 18... case could be made that OOTP had well earned some more money from me! )
So I've had my KCR history going well 1969 thru 1982. But have had some issues with how info transferred into the 1983 season (defensive ratings and minor league team history). Initially I was quite bummed about this... and to some extent still am. But hey, that is how life goes sometimes. Once in awhile we catch a bad hop.
So here is the kind of funny part... for first time that I can recall since buying OOTP in 2015 I auto played a full season and payed attention to it. WOW! It sure was enjoyable! Part of me is now just wanting to continue with that auto-played season and/or start completely over back in 1969 and replay it all with knowledge I now have to more quickly auto-play seasons.
It's just a really awesome game. Baseball and OOTP both. Funny how when one door closes and just seems lousy... it can actually lead to discovering some really good things.
