The review first appeared in PC Gamer UK and was just being reposted on the US site.
I didn't think the review was too bad. Both OOTP and FM are sports management sims so it is not exactly an apples to oranges comparison.
And FM is the gold standard for sports sims on the market, so comparing yourself against it is not nessecarily a bad way to make your game better year in and year out.
The biggest difference is that OOTP is made by one full time person and two part time people and FM is made by a staff of almost 100 with a much larger budget.
For the game to be reviewed by a foreign person who knows nothing about baseball and still draw a '78' is impressive. I think that goes to show that OOTP is a good game no matter the subject matter and is easily picked up and learned.
