    The email system is the new way that an owner is given important breaking information, trade requests. The system is absolutely dynamite...The premiere text baseball sim on the market. Check it out.

    The best baseball game around period. Graphics can only do so much and this simulation is top notch in gameplay and delivery. If you are an avid baseball fan you need to check out this game.

    A refreshing break from typical graphics-oriented games.

    Addictive as a single-player experience and flat-out irresistible while playing in an online league, it shouldn't be missed.
  5. Gamer's Pulse

    The interface of this game has been stream lined and is quite intuitive. The functionality tends to be well organized and rides the line between useful and overcrowded quite well.
  6. Adrenaline Vault

    While OOTP4 has a few interface issues and suffers from a bare-bones graphical and sound approach, its entertainment value should leave you in the ball game for quite a while.
  7. GameZone

    For those that love the game, enjoy the behind-the-scenes management, embrace the mental challenge, like the statistical bombardment, and thrive on situational strategy, this is the game for you.

    I've never been a big fan of baseball sims, and have seen most of them fail. But this is one of the best ever, with e-mail notifications I've never been a big fan of baseball sims, and have seen most of them fail. But this is one of the best ever, with e-mail notifications and other neat stuff. Since I'm not a huge fan of these kinds of games, it's only an eight, but a respectable one at that.… Expand
