To me...the worst part of managing the minor league teams is the unrealistic amount of shuffling the CPU GM does...requiring you to redo your lineup and pitching staff every day.
I didn't play it that way in '13...so it may have been addressed(I don't think so though looking at other teams)....but that totally turned me off to "working up the ranks".

@DookieMowf - Try an online league. Nothing is more enjoyable than competing against others to see how your managerial skills are!

I understand they're different games, and because of that, I prefer OOTP to MLB The Show to fill my baseball needs.

Pumped for this to drop. I've purchased the past three years, definitely a must try for any baseball fan whether you consider yourself a big gamer or not. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but OOTP forum boards are fairly helpful and once the concept is grasped prepare to have hours of time go in a blink.
