I wanted to give this a bump simply to say that I truly believe this game stands easily with the 9-9.5 range as far as ratings go. The simulation engine is damn near perfect, and the nuances, atmosphere, and personality of the game are beginning to reach levels seen only in the Football Manager series.

This is hands-down the best baseball game on the market, and in comparing it to MLB The Show, I'd still say OOTP is closer to the total package. You may not see as many bells and whistles, unique game modes, and the like, but quality rises about quantity here, and especially when you compare the two games' franchise modes, it's not even close--OOTP gets the call-up every time.
