Out of the Park 18 simulates all of this and more, giving players the complete sports management experience with a hefty amount of mathematics and enough variation to keep you hooked for months. When it comes to major league sports, I love the drama behind each play and decision: the heroes and villains, the underdogs and juggernauts, the one-sided victories and the deadlocked games which come down to the final nail-biting inning.
I’ll gladly preface this review by saying I’m not the biggest baseball fan in the world – I was drawn to Out of the Park more for the spreadsheets rather than the sport – but I can confess that my time with the 2018 edition of the classic sports manager has given me a fondness for the great American pastime.
