Far, far better. Markus and Company have incorporated the actual labor
agreement (Rule V, waiver rules, etc). They've tweaked the AI so that scouts
pay more attention to performance than skills (which can be tweaked by the
player). The scouting reports can be the same as real-life scouting reports
(abilities judged from 2-8) or other methods.
The in-game has also been tweaked, with not only more commentary, but more
variables and types of plays.
And Season Ticket Baseball 2003 was based on, if I recall, OOTP4, not OOTP5.
OOTP5 had a ton of stuff more than OOTP4 (ie. the manager mode in which you
play the role of a manager, get hired, fired, etc.)
