    Update - The User Score is just a bit tainted since the programmers asked the users to inflate the score!

    But at least I am getting my complaints finally listened to by the group! With no manual, game setup that takes hours, financial system that does not match historical records, AI managers playing players out of position, so-called historical replays that use fictional coaches and    Update - The User Score is just a bit tainted since the programmers asked the users to inflate the score!

    But at least I am getting my complaints finally listened to by the group!

    With no manual, game setup that takes hours, financial system that does not match historical records, AI managers playing players out of position, so-called historical replays that use fictional coaches and owners (seriously, a historical 1977 replay has the New York Yankees owned by someone from Cuba and not owned by George "The Boss" Steinbrenner) and a new owner option that is completely idiotic, I say pass on the baseball game.

    If you are a fan of recreating historical leagues there are better games out there.

    Final Verdict - The game is not worth the money or the time!    … Expand

    It really doesn't have any competition. The vast number of options is quite amazing. However, the game is flawed at its very core. Player evaluation is flawed and the AI struggles with roster management. If you want to see some great players become backups or even sent to AAA for no explainable reason, then it's a pretty good game.

    Alongside Football Manager, Out of the Park Baseball 16 stands as the best sports sim at the moment.

    Out of the Park ’16 proves once again why it’s the go-to series for baseball management simulators. With the new license to use real MLB players and the other additions and improvements, there’s not much you can’t do in this year’s edition. If you’re looking for a great baseball management simulator, you’ll be hard pressed to find something better.

    Out of the Park Baseball 16 is once again a fine baseball sim, although it misses the ball on several points. The learning curve for new players is huge and a good tutorial is absent, ratings of players don't seem to matter too much.
