I was very unimpressed.
Especially with my post. I went onto "their turf", and basically said .. "Hey, potential customer here, I play OOTP, and thought about BM too, is this game good ?" --- I got 3 responces. 1 was some cat pushing his "skin", the other 2 said .. "OOTP & BM are good games, get 'em both". Here is said thread.
That said. I HIGHLY recommend OOTP. It is amazing. You are in complete control of any world you want. You can basically set up any kind of baseball you want to. A small college league, a massive world universe with leagues in multiple countries ... and everything in between. You can go the "real" route as well. Current rosters - check. Teams/rosters from ANY year (post 1900) - check (with amazing accuracy).
It is an awesome game. |
Guess you havent' read the
thread lately. I never understood why if someone posts on two forums for competitors their instantly a "plant". Ah well, what can you do.
Basically this post sums it up best IMO:

I tend to have more fun with BM08, but OOTP is still a blast. Get both, IMO.

Two games for two market segments. It just depens on what your after. My first baseball SIM was MOgul back in the early 2000's, but for me I foudn it limiting. Others find OOTP too much. That's the beauty of it, you have a selection for what you're after.
