Aug 26, 2014Out Of The Park Baseball 2007 was the saviour of my life, I had terminal cancer in my groin and after playing this game it spread legs. 10/10 would play again.

EdF.Jun 22, 2008No, it doesn't have fancy 3d graphics, full 3d 5.1 surround sound. In fact, it doesn't have any sound. But what it does have is depth. Simply put, it's a great baseball simulation. Probably the best ever in the genre.

RichardB.Apr 10, 2007Almost as perfect as one can expect a baseball simulation to be. The historical play alone makes this one worth the price of admission. Make sure to visit the game's website and message board to chat with other users that can help new players learn much more about this amazing game and all of the little things that you can do with it.

TonyM.Jan 2, 2008This is a major advance on OOTP2006 which in itself was a major advance on 6.5 - the graphics were brought into the 21st century and the scope for customising this game make it the most played in my collection.

-
JeffE.May 30, 2007Infinite replay ability covering the last century of baseball. Realistic stats that change over the different eras of the game. The mod community supplies wonderful new graphics, to spec, no less!

JohnGageJan 2, 2008If you're tired of button mashing games that require better reflexes than brains than OOTP is the simulation for you. With nearly an unlimited number of gameplay options the simulation's re-playablility is a HUGE positive. Give the demo a try and I think you'll agree that this simulation blows the sox of all the other baseball titles on the market.

KeithN.Jan 2, 2008Best baseball sim out there for stat geeks and historical baeball fans that want CAREER aspects of play, not just single season replays

BillB.Jan 2, 2008Excellent baseball sim, the best available on PC. The depth and breadth of the game is unmatched. I have played numerous other baseball sims and OOTP 2007 is the most realistic and the most enjoyable to play.

BrinnonJan 3, 2008Overall, this game is very nice. I have played it nonstop since it came out. It is very in depth and those that do not like baseball and everything that goes on behind the scenes will not like this game. However, if you baseball...you'll love this game.
-
-
ChrisS.Jan 3, 2008Stat based simulations may not be every ones cup of tea. Baseball may not be your game, but if it is, this is the game for a statistical wild ride. Re-create the world of baseball the way you want, from any time period - past, present and future.
-
-
MikeW.Jan 3, 2008The most immersive game I have ever played. Sure you don't have the visual action of other great games, but this games ability to suspend your reality is unbelievable. The more I play it, the more I find myself thinking about my little pieces of code as real baseball players. Fantastic game!

-
RobM.Jan 7, 2008Allows you to create as addictive a baseball universe as you want. Excellent game that's been around for ages. The "twitch and click" RTS crowd may not grasp but then this isn't for them is it?

albertpujolsJul 3, 2009what i find hilarious is that all the people who downvote have absolutely no affect on the critic rating that shows the game as #2 all time, so keep wasting your time... half-life 2 is great, but this franchise is right up there in terms of revolutionizing a genre of game.

ScottJun 8, 2007Nearly perfect ... far better than the disaster that was 2006.

DanderooM.Jan 6, 2008I gave it a 10. This game allows you to design your own baseball universe and it is very realistic statistically. There are a hundred ways to play the game. OOTPB is answer to my baseball dream. It is well worth the price. I would pay $100 for it if necessary. But it does have a stiff learning curve. But has a 500 page manual with it to help you out. Lazy gamers should stay clear.

-
C.S.T.Jan 2, 2008There is some apparent ill will toward sports text sims in the comments here, but I would actually rate this as the best computer game I've ever played. You do need to care about the fine points of putting together a winning baseball franchise, and this game handles it with creativity and attention to detail that is completely missing from most other games in the genre.

Feb 2, 2011Most of the bad reviews for this game have nothing to do with the game itself and are just "zomg its totes not deserving of being on the best evar list!!!11!!!"
Review the game, not metacritic. -

RobR.Apr 10, 2007It is a strangely immersive game for a text only simulation. Had it for 2 weeks now and I can't put it down. Two thumbs up here.
-
-
Jul 5, 2013Had to help offset some of the butthurt people on here. This is a tremendous game, and based on the fact that most gamers are afraid of the sun, they have to vote it down, because it's baseball. Quite a shame.
-
AndreasRSep 3, 2009Guys, it's totally unfair to vote against this particular game just because you don't like the metacritics.com concept. IMO you should have played the game before you vote. And if you're not interested in the genre, don't vote here. Just my 2 cents :) Those who played the game, love it.
-
-
RonS.Apr 10, 2007The best text-based baseball game ever. Possibly the best baseball game of any sort and I've been playing them since the original Earl Weaver Baseball.
-
-
DaveApr 11, 2007Amazing game. The 2006 version was rough, this version is a gem. Would have been a 10 if it had come with MLB rosters.

CurtisC.May 29, 2007A major improvement on an already good game, but not quite there yet.
-
-
ChristopherC.Jan 2, 2008A grat baseball sim for true fans of the sport. If you're all about glitz and 3D graphics, this is not the game for you. If you love baseball, you'll love OOTP.
-
-
FredF.Apr 23, 2008Wow, there are some really dumb people making comments here. If you haven't played the game, don't comment. It just makes you look stupid. This is an incredible game, filled with replay value. It is the best baseball sim game on the market.
-
-
DamienM.Nov 13, 2007At first appearance I was a little intimidated, basic graphics and a lot of stats but once I got over the steep learning curve I simply cannot stop playing. Undoubtedly the finest sports sim ever. I feel like I'm in charge linke no other game.
-
-
MikeC.Oct 23, 2007The most in-depth baseball sim I've ever played. Most games I play for a month or two before going on to another game, but with OOTP I've been playing since it came out. And I played the last two iterations of the game before that. I never get sick of it. Fantastic game.
-
-
MichaelT.Apr 11, 2007An improved interface still needs some help, but all told, the deepest, most detailed baseball game ever made. The fun is back!
-
-
RandalS.Apr 12, 2007If your response to exploding scoreboards and furry mascots is that you wish they'd stop interrupting the game, this is the baseball game for you. A complete management sim and baseball history lesson in one. Excellent.

KerieM.Jul 13, 2007The best text based baseball sim on the market

Aug 5, 2013this rating system is flawed. post all reviews for all games of every platform to get the real scores, not the ones that the owners of this site like so they can have an effect on the end score. this in no way deserves to have the 2nd highest rating ever.
-
HanzAug 20, 2009I think it's pathetic that 90% of the user comments here are by people who have never played the game and just wants to come make a negative comment just because it's so high on the list, and because they don't like baseball. It's like giving Half Life a 0 because you don't like killing people in real life. I think this is a fun and great game.
-
-
SteveM.Jan 2, 2008Simply a solid simulation of the baseball universe - the best possible game for those who are interested in this style of simulation.
-
-
Nov 11, 2011Guys, don't review a game you haven't played. I for one, love this game and I've spent hours building my team. Plus, the 2008 version is FREE!!!
-
Apr 17, 2013Baseball sim like it should be. Sport sims are great and underrated. Good to see one on top where it belongs. To bad they don't make them every year like the Football Manager series.
-
TristanS.Jan 2, 2008This is a fantastic game. Not only is it immersive, it holds up with the best games of all time. People can complain that it's not graphical or "pretty" enough, but they don't need to play a game like this. It's for people who like thinking games and who are seeking an experienced that's customizable and unlike anything else out there.

ElendilMay 29, 2007Great comeback after a disappointing 2006 version. the definitive baseball stat sim.

NickMJun 20, 2009Ok, seriously, you guys are morons. It is not a bad game, it is great actually. It is just specified for a fairly narrow audience. I dont like baseball and i think its for wimps, but its a great baseball simulator for those who are into this genre. It isnt the best game ever either, its an exeptional game for a narrow audience.
-
-
AttentionMApr 26, 2009This is a statistical baseball speadsheet program. It is not a traditional baseball video game simulation. And it's particular genre, it is without doubt the best game ever produced, thus it's matching rating. Statistical (or "managerial") simulations are not judged on graphics, as the important feature is the stat engine and surrounding features.

If you have any interest in the guts of baseball, OOTP 2007 is simply a must-own product. It's a landmark achievement. It's weird to think about it: It took a London-based company known for its soccer management games and a German-born developer with a passion for the sport to produce arguably the best and most complete simulation of America's Pastime.
-
Anyone who's ever dreamed of running a professional team in some capacity, or anyone who enjoys fantasy baseball, baseball board games, or similar products, will absolutely love what OOTP 2007 offers. Any criticisms of the game are merely trivial; in the end it comes down to this: This is the best “fantasy” baseball gaming package ever created.

AceGamezOut of the Park Baseball 2007 is not a perfect game, as it lacks the human touch that fills baseball and its general manager positions, but there are so many aspects that it digitally replicates with excellence that this doesn't matter.
