“Been playing Out of the Park Baseball for fifteen plus years now. The game gets better every year and version 20 is no exception. Whether you are a baseball fan, a stats geek, or a lover of sports management games or…”
“Eloy Jimenez dongs 50 in a season and the White Sox are AL Central champs in the year 2021... Only to get done dirty 3-2 by Houston in the ALDS. A perfect simulation of what is to come. We go again next year!”
“One of the most engaging video games i have ever played and I am passed hooked; I am addicted. Never before did I think that Excel Spreadsheets could be among the most fun video games that I have ever had the pleasure…”

“OOTP 20 is THE baseball simulation. It improves on OOTP19, is supported by an overwhelmingly excellent group of developers and a huge fanbase of baseball aficionados who add unbelievable mods. The ability to play my…”
“I'm copying my review for OOTP 19 over as everything I mentioned there is still relevant, including the point about being prompted by the game to write this and me doing it anyway: The game asked if I'd write a review…”
“I've been playing this game for well over 5 years now and each year it makes consistent strides. Could I get away with continuing to play with last year's version? Probably. But I'm much happier for having moved to this…”

“A brilliant, challenging sports management game. I'm from the UK and grew up on cricket, football and rugby. I spent a lot of time managing York City, Celtic and Bayern Munich on various Football Manager games. It could…”
“As someone who like to play Football Manager, its so refreshing to have a FM-esque game in a sport I love. OOTP 20 has consumed most of my nights: the details of the game is uncanny. Sure, its very overwhelming to see…”
“If you're into sim sports games, this one is about as accessible as they get. Even if you know little about baseball, you can enjoy the pitch-by-pitch detail of managing a MLB team, a minor league team, or even a…”

“There are so many options on how to play the game - playing the Perfect Team option, or choosing to run your own simulation game or season. The depth of the available players and game modes make this a game I continue…”
“Hours of fun. I never was much into the stat side of baseball. This game has changed all of that for me. The introduction of Perfect Team back in OOTP 19 was the game changer for me. Great game and still hours of fun.”

“Fantastic baseball simulator. Once you get to figure out the interface it is fun as hell. Super realistic too because no matter what I do I still can't get the Padres to win in 2019.”
“TLDR: Greatest sport sim game out there. In-depth and as realistic as it gets. I had 1600 hours in OOTP 19 and had a blast. I got the new one for the new rosters but the game definitely improved with more than just…”

“Downvoted for the exploitative gambling business model of "Perfect Team". It's the exact same game as OOTP 19, 18 17, 16 and 15. The devs simply added the gambling game-mode and forgot about the other 98% of gameplay.”
“OK, I am ready to write my review now. A bit out of frustration... I played my own custom league of 30 team. It was fun to create it and start from the very beginning. I made my way to a legendary GM/Mgr and made the…”
“The OOTP franchise has been industry-leading when it comes to sports simulations, and OOTP 20 continues that legacy. Immense detail is put into player statistics, player ratings, and organizational (team) accuracy and…”

“UPDATE - 1/20/22 I guess after almost 2000 hours on just this version they don't want me anymore. I had a game playing while walking my dog. When came back the game was uninstalled and no other games did that ever. All…”
“One major complaint I have about OOTP 20 is that it stopped supporting Steam Cloud for some reason (17, 18, 19 all have it). Which means I can't switch between my progress on my home computer and laptop. If you don't…”

“OOTP used to be a indie gem. I've been supporting it for over a decade. Best baseball sim around. Now inundated with lootboxes and gambling mechanics just like every AAA sports video game. Don't support developers who…”
“The game is good but for the most part not much has changed in the past years game. Unless you need new rosters you can pass on this game this year. I will continue to enjoy this game. 7/10”
“Quite a dirty trick. They are still selling the game and the server is shut off. I have paid for other games were servers eventually die, but this is the most underhanded, dishonest version of this behaviour I have seen…”

“Insanely addictive sports management game. Baseball knowledge useful rather than essential (you'll pick it up from the game and elsewhere and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process, or at least I have.) In-game…”
“Played OOTP 18 and 20 now quite a bit, and I can say that if you like baseball and stats/constructing a team this is THE game for that. It's quite easy to get lost in the numbers and find that you've been sitting there…”
“I do enjoy this game quite a bit. As someone who enjoys the history of sports, this game introduces me to many baseball players I was unaware played. I find myself frequently looking up players and learning about their…”

“I'm from England. We don't play baseball, we don't watch baseball, and we know little about it. Sure, we have baseball bats as kids, same as cricket bats, and everyone has had a knock, but that's about it. So, i was bored of Football Manager, it just takes too long and i fancied…”
— a player, Steam review · 91 hrs played“Here's the thing: for years (40 years ,actually) I was a strict cards-and-dice guy and nothing for me was better than the APBA Master game for replays. I once spent SIX YEARS replaying the entire 1964 season (master game,cards/dice,ballpark effects,etc)...1620 games; some of…”
— a player, Steam review · 55 hrs played“This game is not for eager gamers hence why I waited 60+ hours into a baseball simulation to write this review. (Much of that time has been redacted due to constant crashes). I’ve put in serious time in OOTP 18, 19 and at first wondered why I paid $40 for OOTP 20 other than to…”
