Out of the Park Baseball 27

While I definitely appreciate the attempt to revamp the UI, a lot of it is hit or miss. The management menus are for the most part fine, although the development sliders losing the mid point indicator makes using them more difficult. The sliders in general are more awkward than before, but there are definitely more stat ratings. The in game UI is significantly smaller, so if you wanted more space to see then you get that, but it's just uglier. All the same information is there, in a less appealing overall package. It's harder to find where the info is because everything has been rearranged. One step forward, one step back. I think this UI should be labeled "compact" and should be a toggle. I prefer the previous UI to what they came up with for 27. Scouting was massively nerfed in franchise mode this year. Each stat has it's own individual stat investigation, and even asking for a full scouting report won't really give you that much of an increase. In game animations do look a little more lively, a little more dynamic, and the ball bounces around in the infield more than in prior versions, so visually there are some gains with presentation. The different weather effects are nice to have. Development lab progress bars are a nice addition. You can interrupt a failed dev project, but you can still be hit for some penalties for poor progress. Not sure I would use this feature that often, but doesn't hurt to have it. A very strange update for OOTP. If you're new to the series you probably won't notice it, but for OOTP vets this version of the game is more likely to annoy you than anything else. A fine entry, but wait for a sale regardless.

OOTP is very deep game. Many levels of Leagues... I've been playing for about 8 years and still find things out that I've not known before! I am a Hard core baseball guy and am addicted to the game and play every day. If you Love baseball, I recommend it totally.

I have played OOTP 25 previously and loved that one. You have to be kind of crazy to enjoy this game because it’s mostly just pretending to do a real job. My wife calls games like this and FM “email simulators”. But the depth of this game and all the details it includes to help you develop an mlb dynasty is amazing. I got it on sale for $30 and it’s definitely worth that price. It’s so addicting and it turns what feels like 30 minutes into 5 hours of fun so far.

The OOTP Franchise is in a weird spot right now, and the reviews of this game reflect that. If you are a new player, you probably would recommend this game based on the depth of OOTP compared to your traditional sports games and if you are an experienced OOTP player you most likely don't recommend it because of the clear drop in quality of the franchise. I am an OOTP player of over 10 years so I do not recommend it. While the sim depth is still fine, it has not been updated to match some of the newer league rules. The waiver logic has never felt worse, and got so bad the devs basically gave up on trying to fix the 5 options a season limit. It sucks to navigate the menus, the game seemingly feels more sluggish every year somehow. The overall feeling for me is OOTP has never felt less valuable for the price, and the price keeps going up. It's like the devs overhauled the ratings system and added the dev lab, and completely stopped trying to add anything worthwhile to the game. Improve the graphics? Nope. Improve AI roster management? Nope. Let's add fog to every game and new difficulty sliders for some reason! I do care about this franchise a lot and will probably continue to play because of the somehow worse state of the console sports games, but it just sucks to know that you are pretty much getting diminishing value from the game that is supposed to be the sports sim leader, and it is pretty much exactly tied to when they introduced perfect team.

Horrible screen optimization. It's like it's made for ants. I tried every solution and have to squint 3 centimetres from the screen just to see anything.

Much more enjoyable than whatever slop sports games are being made for consoles.

I buy this game every year; it never disappoints. I keep it up in the background most of the time, and it's great to pair with watching Netflix or not getting into anything that's too time-consuming or even as a 2nd screen on a slow work day.

솔직히 야구라는 스포츠에 관해 1도 몰랐기에 구매까지 계속 고민했던 게임. 야구를 모르니 전략을 짜거나 상황을 보고 전술을 만지기보다는 야구 용어를 찾아보면서 스탯 분석도 해보고, 단장으로서 트레이드를 통해 선수단 리빌딩을 위주로 플레이하는 중인데 꽤 재미가 느껴짐. 만약 자신이 운영을하는 시뮬레이션 게임이나 내가 고른 선수를 육성하거나 스탯을 보는 걸 좋아한다면 한 번 해보는 걸 추천함. 그래픽은 낮긴 해도 인게임에서 하이라이트만 본 기준 크게 거슬리진 않았고, 리그 추가나 리그 확장 모드는 커뮤니티에서 검색해서 받으면 됨. 단점을 찾자면 아무래도 마이너한 게임이라 정보가 부족할 수 있어서 유튜브나 인터넷 검색을 통해 공략을 보면서 조금씩 따라 해보며 하는 법을 익히는 걸 권함.

말로만 듣던 오팁을 해봤습니다. 처음에는 텍스트가 많아서 좀 어렵게 느껴지는데 적응할수록 정말 시간이 빛의 속도로 지나갑니다. 평소 가장 좋아하는 스포츠가 야구였는데 이 게임으로 디테일한 룰도 더 자세히 알게 되었고 게임 하려고 공부까지 하게 되네요 야구 좋아하면 사랑할 수 밖에 없는 게임

I play a lot of different baseball and sports simulation games, but none match the amount of things that OOTP can do. I find myself coming back to play it the most
