This is an excellent baseball management sim game. If you're not familiar, you control all of the GM and Manager duties, and have the capability to manage the games real time if you're so inclined. You don't actually hit or pitch the ball, but if you're the type to pick up a console sports game and sim the games while acting as the GM you absolutely need to buy this game now.
This is a strategy game, but not really by design. It is a very good representation of being a baseball manager; it just happens that being a baseball manager is a pretty good strategy game.
If you are looking for a management sim where the sky is the limit, look no further than Out of the Park Baseball 15. Year after year, OOTP Developments puts out a premier product.

I have been playing OOTP since version 3 and this game just gets better and better each year. If you are a baseball nut then this game is for you. The depth and customization are completely unmatched by any other game on the market today. I usually find myself getting tired of playing sports games after a while, but with OOTP I keep playing right up to the release of the next version.
So if you are looking for a baseball simulator, this is the game for you!
I've purchased OOTP several times, and always loved it. Yes, it can be like playing a spreadsheet, but there are times that's exactly what I want to do. (My 9 back to back championships in the European Baseball League with the Paris Blues attest to that fact.) OOTP 15 gets a lot of points for its baseball simulation, which is excellent. It immediately loses them because it crashes all the time! Literally more than any game I have ever seen, including ArmA 2 (which was a disaster at launch). Normally, my procedure is to start a fictional league and simulate a hundred years or so of history to give the league some "meat" (hall of fame players, records to break, historical dynasties, and so on). Typically, that takes a few hours. OOTP 15 seems to crash at least every three or four seasons, meaning that before I finally gave up it had taken me hours of running the thing to get from 1900 to 1930. I hate to say it, but until it's fixed, the game simply isn't worth its price.
SummaryIn OOTP 15 you guide your team to glory. Set up your roster, trade players, draft the next superstar, negotiate with free agents, discover talent in the rule-5 draft, keep an eye on your minor leaguers, scout foreign countries or other leagues, it's all here. On top of the GM features, OOTP sports a great baseball simulation engine with ...
