![]() ![]() And they are historically correct, if you play as the 2000 Blue Jays you'll have the logo they used then. The biggest thing is that, this year they have MLB and MiLB licensing. This year's version has a number of improvements over last year's. It is no fun to set up your team to win in the future and get fired because your owner didn't like that you lost 90 games). You can also be fired (unless you, do what I do and set it so you can't be fired. On top of that, there are hundreds of online leagues you can join, if you would like to play with real people instead of against the games AI. Or make your own league (All Canadian cities?). Or you can choose to lead a team in one of several international leagues (ever wanted to run a team in the Korean League?). Dickey trade and see what could have happened we kept Noah Syndergaard and Travis d'Arnaud. Maybe you'd like to go back to before the R.A. If you aren't a fan of home runs, you can go back to the dead ball era and lead a team from back then. If you are an old Expo fan, you can play the 1995 season and see what would have happened if there wasn't a lockout and go from there. If you are a fan of the history of baseball, you can choose to play any season from 1871 to, well, this year. Wanna bunt, I believe there is a sac bunt button, I've just never used it (slight lie, I have played games where the pitcher hits and I've bunted). ![]() You can manage the team yourself (or you can be like Alex and leave your manager to do that) setting starting rotation, batting order, set up the bullpen. One of the great things about the game is that you learn a fair bit about baseball playing it. It is surprising cathartic.) Each summer there is the Rule 5 draft.

You can send Chad Jenkins up and down to Buffalo as many times as you want (actually the one thing the game doesn't seem to do is follow the ten day rule, you can send someone to the minors and call him back up the next day.Maybe something that could be added in the future.). Set major league rosters and your minor league rosters. You can sign 16 year old international free agents. You can DFA player, put a guy on waivers, claim guys off waivers. You don't get fancy graphics, but you get to do pretty much everything a GM does, except for reading some idiot blogger second guessing your every move. Out of the Park baseball is basically a MLB General Manager simulator. Being honest there were a few bugs in the first couple of versions that they sent out, but, now that we are at version 16.3 Build 16 I haven't had a problem. So I wanted to play this one for a while before reviewing. There is nothing more annoying than playing a game for a few hours and then having it crash and having to start over again. I had some problems with last year's version, it crashed on me far too often. I have played other simulations, like Baseball Mogul, but i enjoy OOTP more. Every year it is a little better, a little more realistic, a little more going on. This is Out of the Part 16, I must have started on 2 or 3. I've been a fan of the Out of the Park baseball game for years. I play it almost everyday and it is up (at least in the background) almost anytime I have my computer on.
