[Beatles Eternally]

I'm for spreading the love. I have a YouTube channel largely devoted to "broadcasting" baseball sims. The three I stream most are OOTP, Action PC Baseball, and Baseball for Windows Broadcast Blast. The thing is, there are quite a few folks who would rather pay FULL price every year for the execrable Strat PC Baseball fiasco than come to the true faith that is OOTP.

You may wonder why I stream the other two games when I just got done sniping about Strat. Here's the thing:

OOTP gives us all of professional baseball except for AAGPL in a package that is almost perfect and really, the price is a steal. Baseball for Windows allows me to import any season I wish or set up all kinds of cool "universes" and have Ernie Harwell call the game. Action PC Baseball is a fine product and Dave has a lot of sales. Additionally, unlike Strat, I don't have to buy the newest edition of Action PC to replay the newest season.

But, OOTP eclipses them all for me. I'm replaying the 1949 World Series and hoping the Dodgers will win their first Series six years ahead of time. They are up 2 games to 1 on the Bombers.

OOTP is very wise to expand to Steam because they can attract new blood. I talk to people on an almost weekly basis who have discovered OOTP. I can't remember the last time I talked to a new Strat player.

While Strat players have to beg and grovel and spend a fortune AND grapple with a byzantine interface, I can create virtually ANY baseball scenario I can imagine on OOTP!

I wrote a longish review of OOTP20 and will do so again for 21. Let's get the word out to the infidels!!!
