DHGF: Every year I keep thinking OOTP baseball is going to stumble. I will admit that the leap from 8 to 10 did not seem to be as impressive as the previous iterations. However, Markus and his small group of independent developers have made each and every jump from 11 to 13 to be something to experience. I love what OOTP stands for and the intrinsic value of the game from a baseball fan and game fan perspective. Don’t let the ratings fool you, OOTP 13 is the best OOTP yet and you’d be crazy not to get this game. Each OOTP baseball game is a love letter to a fellow baseball fan and those who love the sport will appreciate the adoration of the sport that has gone into OOTP 13.

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..
