OOTP X News Post

Out Of the Park X, the 10th iteration of the baseball management simulation series, is nearing its own personal Opening Day. And while games such as MLB: The Show or MLB Power Pros have risen in recent times to dominate the baseball gaming landscape, OOTP has been hitting it out of the park for a decade now.

Created and developed by Markus Heinsohn, OOTP is a baseball junkie's dream. In fact, OOTP’s best asset is that it allows players to take various roles in the baseball universe. For the "dream land" gamer, OOTP lets you become an overseer of your own baseball universe, which can have its own convoluted or simple rule-set. For those who have read the book Universal Baseball Association, it is like a modern-day version of that premise -- hopefully minus the dead player or mental breakdown.

Additionally, for the "future MLB general manager" gamer, OOTP also allows you to take control of an MLB team during the current MLB season and beyond. Think you can perform better than real bench bosses or general managers? Well, now you can find out.

Best Baseball-Sim game out there.....bottom line. Will I spend 30 bucks for a minor league DL and a few tweeks with the pitching...probably not...but it will still provide hours and hours of fun...

A pretty reliable source says the game should be out the first week of June barring any unforeseen setbacks.

I play OOTP because I like the financial aspects of baseball and want to be a GM. If I wanted to mash buttons, I'd do that. It's meant to be a robust simulation and it does that pretty well. Or least, better than anything on the market at the moment.

I was hoping for it by this week. Oh well.

I'm sure they will announce right before release date to let people get thier pre-orders in.

I was also hoping for it to be sooner. This wait is killing me!
