"The simulation aspect is just average," hmmmm.... really? I can't think of many other, if any, sports games that simulate statistics quite as well as OOTP. What on earth were they looking for?

Unless I read it incorrectly, I think the reference was specifically regarding the Baseball Manager mobile version, and it's probably referring to the 'experience' and immersion factor, or what I call user-provocation

, compared to the actual gaming experience in-game.

Yes he is referring to the mobile version.

Good read. Interesting to hear what guys that actually cover and dissect the game think. Those of us that spend more time on OOTP than we do real baseball are probably (unnecessarily) overly critical at times.
