Out of the Park Baseball 21

I played OOTP 20 and now 21 and they are essentially the same game to me. Understand though that I only simulate my games and the real additions to this years game are with the statistical visualization engine that functions as a face to the numbers. I only play on GM mode because I prefer to see how an AI manager handles the team I give them. For what it is this game is perfect. A baseball simulator in which you...

It’s good. It seems like Perfect Team Mode is their only priority now though, which leaves players of the classic mode like myself wanting more. They haven’t implemented any of the features in classic mode that I’ve been requesting for years. Outside of the new 3D animations, it feels like the same game as last year. I’m recommending it because it’s still the top sports simulation on the market. But 21 left me...

I'm a 20-year veteran of the Championship Manager/Football Manager series. I tried OOTP back in the mid-2000s, and came away unimpressed. I just didn't feel meaningful connection between my decisions and the team's results. And the interface was clunky in a number of significant ways.

I've played a lot of baseball games and sims, earliest probably being Earl Weaver Baseball back in the '80s, which was the gold standard for me for decades.

But if you're looking to create a league, alone or with friends, and want...

Many Koreans are enjoying the game. However, it is difficult for Koreans who are not good at English to enjoy this game because there is no Korean and only English. So please speak Korean.

I'm 200+ hours into this, in my 13th season with the Tigers. I've won the World Series twice and am a 4-time manager of the year. I've had three sub-.500 seasons too and it took awhile to build up the Tigers and minor league system, including minor league prospects, staff, etc. I've found one of the keys to the game is to have a steady pipeline of young talented kids coming up through your minor league system...
