The Warning Signs (10/10)
PC Game Review: Out of the Park Baseball 16 | The Warning Sign
When it comes to baseball gaming, there are essentially two options: 1) MLB The Show, for those who want to play the games on the field, and 2) Out of the Park Baseball (OOTP), for those who want a pure text-based simulator and are more interested in the analytical side of the sport. While both have their merits, I end up spending a lot more time developing and obsessing over my own in-game worlds within OOTP. This year’s version, Out of the Park Baseball 16, is easily the best one yet.

The short version is this. If you let it, Out of the Park Baseball will take over your life. And you won't even care. You'll lie to your wife about what you're doing on the computer. You'll be playing with your child and start thinking, "I wonder what I could get for Matt Dominguez..." It's the most time I've ever spent thinking about a game that I wasn't currently playing. I've thought about how I could play at work. Buy Out of the Park Baseball, but do so at your own peril...
