    Same old tired graphics as the years before. Can't believe it's 2012 and we're still reading endless lines of text. At least now when I need my sports simulation fix I can fire up Football Manager and at least visualize the outcome of the game.

    Have to agree with Helm123 after so many years of the same old crap you'd think he'd up the graphics of the game to at least something like MicroLeague Baseball animations. I'm sick of READING text myself. I want to see more than just a stupid softball roll out into the field and it's not even accurate of what the text says happen. My money is going to Baseball Mogul 2013 because at leastHave to agree with Helm123 after so many years of the same old crap you'd think he'd up the graphics of the game to at least something like MicroLeague Baseball animations. I'm sick of READING text myself. I want to see more than just a stupid softball roll out into the field and it's not even accurate of what the text says happen. My money is going to Baseball Mogul 2013 because at least it has some animations and you get a little of the feeling of being there. APBA baseball was fun in its day because it has BROADCASTING and that would be an improvement to this game as well. Take it from me it's just not worth $39.95 every year just to get an upgrade to the HTML performance and a new lineup card. He's just milking the donkey now and you also and you're just not getting $39.95 worth if you have a lesser year version to at least 2007.… Expand

    Overall, Out of the Park '13 made a few improvements over its predecessor, but the meat of the game is pretty much the same game, which is actually a good thing. If you already have Out of the Park '12, $39.99 might be too much for a few visual and AI improvements. If you don't have a prior OOTP game, OOTP13, much like last year's game, is an excellent baseball management simulator.

    OotP's baseball smarts may be undisputed, but it struggles to capture the passion and sporting flair of the infield. [Sept 2012, p.106]

    OOTP 13 does exactly what it sets out to do-it provides the hardcore fan with the most detailed front office sim experience possible. Once I got into the ebb and flow of managing my team, it was sheer baseball nerd nirvana, and there's a lot of value in that.
