I was an avid fan of the SOM board game back in the day and loved getting a new set of cards and being able to flip through them and see how some of my favorite players' cards looked, their SB ratings, HR rolls, etc.
With that said, there is certainly an advantage to the computer game, in that you can replay a whole season in much shorter time.
I replayed the 1981 season using the board game for just one team and it took forever--having to compile stats, not to mention the time it took to actually complete 162 games.
The computer game, from what I remember (I haven't played it in a while), allows you to complete a game in much shorter time, compiles all the stats for you and you can have the computer simulate a whole season in a matter of minutes. What I really liked is that, you can replay a full season, letting the computer simulate all the games except for the one(s) you choose to "manage", like the ones involving your favorite team(s). You can also play with a simulated dice roll and still have the ability to view the player cards on screen.
So, while I still like the old fashioned board game, I think the computer game is just as good while still keeping the board game alive (in spirit, at least).
