OOTP 16 is, quite simply, a grand slam.

I managed to pick this game up on sale for $10 thanks to the humble bundle and it has already proven itself to be well worth the money spent. The level of detail that appears in this game is simply stunning. If I counted correctly there are at least 36 leagues from which you can manage a baseball team in with full stats, advanced stats, and more. Want to start all over in 1871 with a fictitious league and simulate to the present day? Go ahead! Want to add your own league in tandem with existing ones? Feel free! From historical leagues to creating your own intercontinental baseball championship, the possibilities are endless.

Onto management, you can choose whether you wish to manage pitch by pitch, at-bat by at-bat, inning by inning, or simming to whatever inning you please and playing from there. Alternatively you can just sim weeks, months, or years at a time if you just wish to see your own little baseball world evolve. the multitude of tendencies you can set for your team on whether you're in a close game or a deadlock is fascinating.

In short, buy this game, you will not be disappointed if you're a baseball fan or are a fan of managerial type games. Even if you don't like baseball, I would heavily recommend this product. As someone else stated, "It's a baseball nerd's dream" but it's also so very worth the money spent even with the new season approaching because once you start it's your own little world.
