    Sporting a number of under-the-hood tweaks and a few nice additions, iOOTP Baseball 2012 remains the go-to choice for baseball fanatics and micromanagers.

    iOOTP Baseball 2012 Edition improves upon almost all aspects of the game, and improves the speed remarkably. If you have the time to kill there is literally hundreds of hours of baseball management if you get into this, and buy past seasons using iAP. Highly recommended to the baseball, and management fan.

    iOOTP Baseball 2012 Edition is able to deliver the thrill of the game through mere text, though fans of the series might wonder why play hasn't been pushed on a touch.

    Awesome game that keeps getting better. Gamers who go for arcade-style baseball may not appreciate what this game has to offer, which is stats and strategy and in-game tactics. Baseball fans who dream of running their own franchise will find plenty here to enjoy, in abundance. Fun to play, immersive in the best possible way--highly recommended.… Expand

    This game is, by far, the best baseball game out there. It takes management games to a whole new level. The amount of control you have over your team and even down to every pitch, is pretty amazing. A ton of fun to play.… Expand
