Lou Gehrig holds down first base for the Cleveland Indians? The New York Yankees never win a World Series? With OOTP Baseball, it can happen!ĭownsizing Out of the Park Baseball to the iPhone OOTP then allows for each successive season since 1920 to be played in an ‘effectively’ alternate history including real-life players introduced into the game through the draft the same year they first played in the Majors.

This writer’s most treasured OOTP game began with the 1920 MLB season, won in real life (and in the game) by the Cleveland Indians, led by Hall of Fame centerfielder, Tris Speaker. As opposed to individual seasons, a typical OOTP game involves a full career, spanning decades managing one or more baseball franchises. OOTP Baseball on the desktop sports a stunning array of features, actually giving true meaning to Electronic Arts overused marketing phrase, “If it’s in the game, it’s in the game.”ĭespite providing statistically accurate replays of every baseball season going back to the 19th Century, OOTP arguably works best as a “Baseball League Construction Set,” providing a framework supporting a host of league structures limited only by a player’s imagination.

From the paper-and-pencil days of Strat-O-Matic Baseball to the current computer-based versions, many armchair General Managers have proved time and time again that they could do a better job than the person currently running their favorite Major League franchise.Ĭonsidering the considerable amount of statistics and player ratings involved in any baseball league simulation, the genre’s move to the PC desktop made perfect sense. Even with the overwhelming popularity of fantasy baseball, there still remains enough of a niche for its more esoteric older brother, the text-based baseball simulation.
