If North American baseball isn’t your thing, you can try your hand in one of seven other leagues around the world - because really, who doesn’t want to play Dutch Honkbal? And if reality in general isn’t your thing, you can also create fictional leagues with up to 50 teams.Īs expansive as the game is, however, it’s not without its problems. I’d say they’re video game numbers, but I’ve never seen numbers like that in a game. (Seriously: just go look at Barry Bonds’ lifetime numbers set to 2000 Colorado. Ever wondered how the 2000 Colorado Rockies would fare in a neutralized run scoring environment? That’s an option too, though I have to say that that’s a lot less fun than playing around with the Baseball Reference’s Neutralizer tool and seeing some of the crazy numbers it churns out. Want to take control of the National League from its birth in 1876 and guide it through to the present day? You can do that too. Want the Expos to stay in Montreal? You can do that. No, OOTP 15 promises you can build your own baseball world, and it allows you to do just that. Basically, if the first thing you do when you get the newest version of The Show is start remaking your roster, then you know exactly what’s in store for you.ĭon’t make the mistake of thinking this is just The Show without fancy graphics, though.

First and foremost, it allows you to dig down deep into everything a baseball franchise does - signing free agents (both the regular and international kind), drafting and developing young talent, setting your line-ups and pitching rotation, setting ticket prices, swinging trades, and so on.

I get that there are all kinds of technological and financial reasons why OOTP 15 is PC-only, but still: if ever a game was made for bringing with you wherever you want, it’d be this one.Ĭomplaining about what OOTP 15 can’t do, however, is a little churlish, particularly in light of how much it’s capable of. But the more I play it - and the more addicted to it I get - the more I really, really wish I could’ve taken my game with me wherever I go. OOTP Baseball, of course, doesn’t have this option (unless the developers are vastly underselling what OOTP 14 can do).

Both OOTP and FMC, after all, are PC-based sports management sims, with the key difference - apart from one being about baseball and the other centered around soccer, obviously - being that the latter recently launched a handheld edition which features full cross-save capabilities, allowing PC gamers to bring their games with them on the go. In a roundabout way, Out of the Park Baseball 15 has me really excited for Football Manager Classic on the PS Vita to make its way over to North America.Īdmittedly, it’s not hard to get me excited for anything on the PS Vita.
