Making the Leap From MLB The Show to Out of the Park Baseball



If you’re a true die-hard baseball fan, one video game simulation just isn't enough. As someone...

Great article Kevin!

I made the leap to OOTP and have never looked back. Give this game a chance and you'll be hooked too. Love the ability to manage a baseball team and the strategy on the field. The depth of this game is incredible...

I have owned nearly every version since the first OOTP release. They have made a ton of strides through the years, and that's putting it lightly. The depth that you can experience when playing this is crazy. I love creating a new fictional league in the early 1900's and letting it simulate until the 90's. Then I take over and be a GM of whatever the worst team in history is. Over the past few years they've been working on giving some graphical look to the on the field game play which just makes this feel even better. In the past you'd see the text "Back, back, back..." on a long hit. Now you see the ball in flight. Like Peter_OS said, the depth and strategy of the game makes this engrossing. If you're a fan of baseball I strongly suggest it. You can find free versions online of their older games. You'll miss out on the in game graphics but you'll still get a taste of the management aspect. It's unlike any other game on the market. I know once upon a time they were developing a football game, however the lead had health issues and haven't seen anything further on that. Sorry for the long post.*

OOTP and The Show need to have a baby. When I play The Show I’m miss the in depth team management of OOTP. * When I play OOTP I miss controlling the on-field action. *Both great games.*

Appreciate where you’re going here but comparing these two title *aren’t apples to apples. *The “if you’re willing to sacrifice this for that etc” argument is crazy. *Yes, franchise mode is crazy awesome in OOTP but OOTP’s gameplay rivals PONG...

neither title perfect, both amazingly in their own ways but really not playing on the same playing fields IMO... completely different experiences.

Well, if you don't mind the Japanese language barrier, Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2019 will be available in July. *
