The OOTP 15 reviews and podcast appearances thread

I'll update this thread on a regular basis as OOTP 15 reviews roll in, and when I or anyone else appears on a podcast (see posts below).


"An improvement on (near) perfection," says GM Games.

OOTP 15 Review - An Improvement on (near) Perfection


"OOTP is a legitimate five-tool game," says Most Valuable Zobrist. "It’s the Mike Trout of baseball simulation software. BUY IT."

"[OOTP 15] literally puts the entire baseball world at your fingertips," writes Crooked Scoreboard.

Laser Lemming takes a look at OOTP 15 and says it's "a more in-depth baseball experience than you get in MLB The Show."

Out Of The Park Baseball 15 | LaserLemming.com!

Meanwhile, Sam Adams, a TV sports reporter in Spokane, WA, takes on the Mariners in OOTP 15 and writes: "If you're a baseball nut, buy it. If you're a stat freak, buy it. There are so many different ways to play this game ... Take it from a bleary-eyed fanatic who has played this game way too much already: be prepared to lose a lot of time to this game. But, hey, it sure beats watching the Mariners in real life!"

I'll also use this thread to post the shows I appear on to promote OOTP and iOOTP (and, where possible, FHM (and even early talks about BTS)).

If anyone out there knows of shows I should contact, or if you have one and want to have me on as a guest, please let me know. I'm always looking for more outlets. I did close to 30 such interviews last year and want to pass that number this year.

I'll kick off this thread with a list of the interviews I've done so far:

With all this media exposure, Brad, you'll soon be famous. The world will know you by your first name. Like Cher or Madonna.

"International baseball, OHBABY!" says Bradley Woodrum at FanGraphs, adding: "As always: The game keeps itself fresh, constantly. Loved ones go neglected." His 27-minute review of OOTP 15 goes into much detail.

Yes, since I do FHM PR and marketing too, I know about the SportsNet deal. I had asked about them doing the same for OOTP but nothing yet. We'll see. Thanks!

I get the impression that the radio guys on 590 are committed Diamond Mind players. I've tried e mailing them about OOTP for years and never get anything back.

There is a gamer show on Sunday mornings that might be an easier nut to crack. See this link to their blog.

Beyond The Box Score: "To the best of my knowledge OOTP does not currently have a theme song, but if it were to have one, it would be Peter Tosh's Steppin' Razor, because this game is dangerous."

Perhaps Three Moves Ahead would be interested. It's a strategy game podcast (not just sports management) but they have covered OOTP before. In fact, that episode of 3MA is the reason I decided to give OOTP a try in the first place!

Edit:
I decided to post the contact info, since the episode I linked to was from before they partnered with Idle Thumbs, and I believe even before Rob Zacny took over the hosting duties.

I was just about to suggest Three Moves Ahead. They do a great job with their podcast.
