Here are a selection of reviews that we've found about the game. Most were written around the time of the original release (so they don't have the benefit of the above fixes) but they should give you a feel for what other people think of the game.

Operation Sports (9/10) on 07/08/2006

"Once you are able to get into a game, Out of the Park Baseball 2006 is the best sim baseball game on the market. This is one of the first text-based sim games to offer multiple ways to watch a game. The first view is the broadcast view, which features a scoreboard and a view of the entire baseball field and stadium. The second view is the webcast view, which is built more for the stat geek. This view is primarily composed of box scores and stats. The final view is the network view, where you can not only see what’s going on with your team, but also the scores and stats of other ongoing games in your league. The beautiful thing is that you can toggle between each view during a game. "

Dubious Quality on 07/08/2006

"I’ve been playing OOTP for the last week, and I think it qualifies as a geopolitical simulation as well. Less complex than FM, certainly, but it’s still in the realm. "

Orioles Hangout on 07/04/2006

"Heinsohn is a very accessible developer, and he and other SI people are frequently monitoring and posting along with customers and fans. I don’t play too many other computer games, but I don’t know of anywhere the development team is more in tune with the problems discovered by the customers."

Worthplaying (7.2/10) on 06/26/2006

"OOTP allows multiple fantasy leagues to exist, and the player is able to control any number of leagues. For those unfamiliar with the series, the standard leagues are composed of fictitious players, which is one of the biggest reasons you will spend hours poring over stats and trying to learn about your team(s)."

Gamespy (3.5/5) on 06/17/2006

"Out of the Park Baseball 2006 (OOTP 2006) is arguably the most ambitious baseball game of all time." "It's staggeringly deep and doesn't shy away from the fact that it's a baseball game for baseball junkies; casual fans need not apply."

Atthehomeplate.com (Four balls) on 06/17/2006

"The latest version, if you can believe it or not, is much more realistic than previous versions."

Deeko (8/10) on 06/15/2006

"Out Of The Park Baseball 2006 can be summed up in two words for sim sports fans, Home Run."
