"...there's a niche of true baseball fanatics that prefer taking a God-like approach to their videogame baseball experience. Out of the Park Baseball 10 lets baseball managers the world over take the reins of their favorite club (whether it be single-A, double-A, or any other league from past or present) and dictate every aspect of the club. Picture the Owner Mode that you wish every mainstream baseball title had; that's what Out of the Park Baseball brings to the table."

Even without the visual and audio appeal of a flashy baseball "simulation" game, OOTP 10 holds its own as a true simulator. I will venture to say that if you are not already a fan of baseball, this is probably not the best way to initiate contact (though you will undoubtedly learn a lot about the game if you stick with it.) For those fans of true simulation, especially those that want to go one-on-one online against friends or strangers, this game offers a plethora of content and flexibility. Returning fans of the series will find a nice mix of familiar features and some fresh new content. If you love baseball and numbers, then this is definitely a game to satisfy your needs. Batter up, play ball!

For a game that's all about numbers, Out of the Park Baseball X is pretty true to life. What else can you say about a sports simulation that dishes out a few dozen stats about your clean-up slugger but also lets you know when his wife lands him on the DL after clobbering him with a frying pan? Little down-to-earth anecdotes such as this make the latest addition to this long-running baseball sim feel awfully human, giving you a few chuckles and making you feel like you're managing flesh-and-blood ballplayers rather than robotically tracking columns of ratings and statistics.

Every single facet of building and running a complete baseball universe is included in this game. It produces believable results while giving you an unprecedented amount of statistical and player development information. The revamped pitching system is tops. This is the single best baseball management sim available.

I feel that the new features of Out of the Park Baseball 10 justify purchase even if you have a previous version of the game. Accurate rosters down to the rookie leagues? Check. Enhanced salary arbitration? Check. Individual pitch ratings? Check .... the game as a whole is terrific and earns the highest score. For aspiring managers everywhere, Out of the Park Baseball 10 is highly recommended.

...If I had to describe OOTP and why you should give it a shot, I’ll just say that I was browsing through OOTP X and noticed that the tag-line for the game read, "It’s your game; Play it your way!" and it instantly clicked. That phrase perfectly conveyed what the game was about and explained exactly why OOTP X (and the series in general) is so awesome.
