Just barely into the game, I am completely impressed with the amount of barely-surface-scratched options. Even when I choose to play in MLB, within that league I can also pick to play anywhere from various Rookie Leagues all the way though AAA, including all of the steps in between. Not only do I get to use the official teams, logos, colors, etc., but also the true rosters as well. If you have ever played a sports simulation that is not officially endorsed by the pertinent league or association then you will realize how truly important this is (so I don’t have to play as the Maryland Oreos, the Pennsylvania Scallywags, the Lubbock Grenadiers, etc.). Something absolutely fantastic that I will point out right now is that this game is authorized by MLB. The leagues range from American Major League Baseball, to various leagues from around the world, to the World Cup of Baseball. If I want to play the latest (2017) season, the first thing I have to decide is which league I want to play in, from twelve (!) possible choices – in addition to the possibility to play in more than one at a time. While there will be literally thousands of choices to be made, I will have to make a few, right off the bat, in order to be able to come out swinging. Now, I just have to see if the legacy lives up to the hype! Out of The Park Baseball (hereafter referred to as OOTP) has always had quite the positive reputation and I feel extremely honored to be able to review it for B3. That said, I have always kept track of gaming and gaming news, at least, ever since the Stone Age. However, if I recall correctly, the only baseball game I have ever played was on the original NES, somewhere around a hundred years ago.

Having always been a fan of the NFL, I have probably played every American football simulator ever made.
