Can't Go Back to Console

And this year, even though I've agonized about buying both, I'm only doing OOTP. I just find the realism and immersion the best and it's all I need!

This is what happened to me as well almost a decade ago.

Ahhh, I know that feeling well - early morning "crankybuttkus" I suffer that occasionaly myself.

You're right.

In 2004, Heinsohn released Inside the Park Baseball, which tracked the progression of an individual baseball player. Gamers followed a player’s career from before the draft, through the minor leagues, until possibly called up to the Major Leagues. Inside the Park Baseball was designed to work alongside OOTP 5, whereby one might insert a player into an OOTP 5 season.

I have both games preordered and will happy try to get the Cubs to the World Series.
