GameStooge reviews the venerable baseball management sim.
Excerpt: "The other major change was the implementation of real-time simulation, where other games would be simmed as you manage a game, lending a realistic feel to it as you see real-time updates of other games in progress. It’s even possible to have games simming while not managing, instead having it run while checking stats, updating rosters, negotiating trades, and so on.

"Adam Ames presents his recent picks for titles which he feels should be able to see the light of day on Steam. While everyone pretty much agrees Steam Greenlight needs some major work to correct a few glaring problems, the platform does give indies a chance to offer up their games to a larger audience."
PC Gamer - Out of the Park Baseball 13 is a baseball management simulator in the mould of Football Manager. I know a lot about management; less about baseball. With a greenhorn’s naivety I created a manager in my image and selected the ‘Start Unemployed’ option.
My plan was to score a minor league job, then, with a mixture of inspirational talks (“do more homeruns!”) and sound tactical advice (“stop conceding homeruns!”), ride to the big time on the back of a handful of men smacking balls about.
From the review: "Overall, Out of the Park ’13 made a few improvements over its predecessor, but the meat of the game is pretty much the same game, which is actually a good thing. If you already have Out of the Park ’12, $39.99 might be too much for a few visual and AI improvements. If you don’t have a prior OOTP game, OOTP13, much like last year’s game, is an excellent baseball management simulator."
The amount of information is a little overwhelming at first but real good once you get used to it..
