  1. Out of the Park Baseball 9 is a dream for every baseball fan out there. Other gamers might have a hard time getting used to the game however.
  2. I think if you really took the time to delve into and test out the game’s options, then you could make it effective at simulating a modern Major League season, and if you're interested in other leagues (like the Japanese or Mexican leagues) or in historical leagues, then OTPB9 is just about the only option out there.

It's a big price tag for fairly simple and uninteresting gameplay mechanics, I'm definitely not willing to give this game any credit, being that it doesn't merit any. Go spend your $40 on something else, preferably marijuana, you'll get a more exciting experience than Out of the Park Baseball 9. Full Review »

    Game Over Online is crazy. 7/10 for this game is a joke. There is no better text sim or sim in general of baseball.

It isn't much different from the previous version, but many of the slight glitches and issues with that version have been resolved, and a few new features have been added that take the game beyond where it has been. It's worth the upgrade. For new fans, this is the most polished version of the game to start with, and it will get better once a few of the new bugs are ironed out, which should happen in the next few weeks. Full Review »
