“Fantastic game that simulates baseball in a realistic way. If you were like me and didn't buy FM26 this year due to the problems they had this game really scratches that same itch.”
“This is my first time diving into the series so I can't compare OOTP 26 to its predecessors. I was looking for a sport sim game that was on par with Football Manager depth wise and the game nailed it. I did not know…”
“The most in depth sports game ever, but the price is way too much for the underwhelming graphics and gameplay. Really only for dedicated baseball fans”

“I've been playing the game for many many years. The didn't develop it and forget it, they have consistently improved on it every year. It is the most well rounded baseball game for someone who wants to chose which area…”
“Great game. Continually gets better.”
“If you love simulation games and baseball I would highly recommend it. This year has a much deeper prospect and development system, it corrects several issues and unrealistic parts of the previous version that I had…”

“I've played for 2 years now, mostly the perfect team mode. Eventually, it got to the point where I just couldn't cope with the randomness. I had a team in the High Bronze division (pretty low division, less whales down…”

“The OOTP franchise is one of the deepest and most well-built management sims on the market. The sheer level of customization is remarkable and the UI is about as clean as you can expect for something with this level of…”

“Still a deep baseball experience, but there are a few issues. 1. The game results feel predetermined. No matter what you do, it will not affect the outcome of individual games. 2. The animation is kind of lame.…”

“The Out of the Park series is among my favorite all time games. This series has tons of options. I'm confused by some recent negative reviews of this game saying things like nothing changes or it's too in the weeds. If you want to be a one person front office you can do that but…”
— a player, Steam review · 593 hrs played“If you're a Guardians fan, you can take the Guardians and have your soul crushed just like real life! You can manage to get 100 wins in a season just to get swept during the divisional series by a team that barely won the wildcard”
— a player, Steam review · 183 hrs played“OOTP 26 has completely ruined franchise mode with its extreme over-normalization of player abilities. Star players no longer feel special — everyone is just marginally better or worse than everyone else. This kills the excitement of acquiring talent and makes managing a team…”
