How is OOTP 20? I heard good things and was thinking about buying it after the holidays.

Up until this year I had been pretty much only MLB The Show gamer. This game is a steal at $5 (on sale till January 2nd I believe), even though new version will be coming out in 3-4 months. But if you want to dip your toes in OOTP and sim games, it's a great time to do it. It's awesome being albe to create any team you want and do expansion or historical league or whatever floats your boat. It's extremely wide open. There's even quite a few online leagues you can get into if you want to test your GM skills against others. Some of those are historical leagues, some are modern day MLB and some are completely fictional.

But if interested I'd take a chance at $5.
