I feel like outside of the normal updates like playoff formats, and schedule

Is anything really new? I mean the game is so good and so complete I bet its hard to really add anything at this point

The game can also improve on the engine that powers the many great features that it already has. Improving simulation stats and roster logic (especially trades) is the most important part of the game at this point imo. That and QoL improvements are also welcome.

I feel the same way about OOTP that I feel about FM now. No need to buy it each year because there's very few upgrades. FM this year added a squad planner and Champions League music that you skip after the first time you play it and sold it for full price.

The annual tuning is generally done well and the few additions they make each year make it worth it to me. Having up to date rosters, the ability to live start at any point in the current regular season, and having all of the new QOL features are more than enough for me to fork over 40 bucks each year. I get 100s of hours from OOTP, so from a cost perspective I am getting more than enough bang for my buck, and I like showing the devs how much I appreciate the series.

I completely understand why some will stick with older titles and not buy annually, and I don't have a problem with it. We all have different priorities and for others out there they may not care about the things I listed to justify why I buy it annually. If that's the case, it doesn't make as much sense to spend the money on the game if none of the changes matter to you.

Even with it being mostly QOL updates its still a easy buy for me every year. Going Cubs and Padres for my franchise teams this year.

Oh I am 100% buying it. My comments were more a compliment. The game is so polished when they announce the new one I am not sitting around thinking they need to fix so much stuff for me to buy it. They could just take the year before version and add the 2024 cover and I am still in

Yeah, I am with you on OOTP. They are a victim of their own genius - they made such a great product that these annual versions are very minimal (if any) improvements. I buy a version every 2-3 years.
