  1. 100
    The single most brilliant, most thorough, most customizable baseball management game in existence.
  2. If you like baseball and a challenge, Out of the Park Baseball 10 will be your game of choice. Getting past the initial difficulty rewards the player in a way that few other games can.
  3. I walked into Out of the Park X as a complete neophyte and came out rather impressed. Everything was easy to understand, if a little daunting at first. It's not the kind of game you can really get a handle on after dabbling in it.
  4. It's truly rewarding to see your tactical decisions pay off (and devastating to see a tight lead blown). [Dec 2009, p.77]
  5. For anyone looking to get into baseball management sims, Out of the Park Baseball 10 is a perfectly fine place to begin getting to grips with the complexities and steep learning curve of the sub-genre.

    It takes a specific type of micromanager to enjoy what the forty-dollar download brings to the table, but if you can get your head around the complex menus and grandiose management duties you'll find an extraordinarily deep baseball simulation running under the hood.
  7. Out of the Park Baseball X is the most lifelike edition yet of this number-crunching baseball simulation.

    This is the game Markus has been trying to make ever since he went to the new engine in V7. He got all the bugs out and now we finally have a baseball sim I have yet to grow tired of. It does everything and does it well. Brilliant work Markus. Full Review »

    This is an excellent sports simulation title. Next to Football Manager (World Wide Soccer Manager for North America) this is the most in depth sports management game you will find. The makers of this game are very responsive to their customers suggestions. The game has improved each year and is just a great deal of fun to play. If you have any interest in baserball management on and off the field you should get this game. Highly recommended! Full Review »

    An outstanding sports management sim that will have baseball enthusiasts and stats-hungry fans drooling over their keyboards. I was pleasantly shocked by the way that this game sucked me in, had me screaming at the computer screen as my 22 year old phenom pitcher blew out his arm and was lost for an entire season, had me cheering at the solo shot walk-off home run that sent my team into the playoffs. Aspiring GMs look no further--OOTP 10 is far and away the best in its class, rivaling the depth and richness of the other front-runner in this genre, Football Manager 2009 by Sports Interactive.
