Out of the Park Baseball 10 Released!

Dear Baseball Fan,

We are proud to announce the release of our highly anticipated baseball management simulation, Out of the Park Baseball 10!

OOTP 10 is packed with new features, and we've also worked hard to adjust and improve many aspects of the game, resulting in the best version of OOTP yet, and without a doubt the best baseball simulation game money can buy! Whether you're managing your favorite team in a 2009 Major League game, creating a customized fictional league, or playing in any historical league from 1871 to 2008, OOTP does a great job of providing you with a realistic and extremely satisfying gaming experience.

Our pre-order customers have received the game on Wednesday already, and the inital feedback is extremely good! In fact, we can proudly say that this has been the most flawless release in the history of our company. The game is extremely stable and smooth 'out of the box'. You will definitely not be disappointed!

Early reviews of OOTP 10 are very positive as well! BaseballTalkOnline.com says: "OOTP 10 is the most in-depth baseball simulation on the market. It does a great job of mixing the coaching and general management aspects of baseball."
Braves-Nation.com has the following verdict: "The game is nothing but an improvement over the previous version. While they worked on addressing specific issues, they didn't allow anything in the game to take a step back. If you enjoyed OOTP9, you'll enjoy OOTP10 that much more with the modifications and added realism. If you've never played OOTP, diving into it with this year's version will not end in disappointment."

So what are you waiting for? The game is just $39.99 (€39.99 for European customers), and is available for download now at the following locations:

If you're new to Out of the Park Baseball you may want to check out our latest tutorial video which covers most of the OOTP 10 interface and features.

2009 Major League Rosters - The game will ship with the best Major League roster set we have ever produced, with thousands of real players, down to the lower minor leagues, with accurate individual ratings. Improved and Recoded AI - We have recoded certain aspects of OOTP's artificial intelligence, creating what we believe is the most challenging OOTP computer opponent to date. Enhanced Play-By-Play - We are very proud of our play-by-play, and this year it is even better than before. New plays have been added, along with more variety and thousands of new lines of play description!
Redesigned Pitching System - We have recoded the entire pitching rating system. We have added individual pitch ratings, reworkedhe endurance/role system, and adjusted the impact of velocity and groundball percentage in the game engine. Will your veteran ace keep his blazing fastball for another year? Will the youngster develop that promising changeup and become a dominating starter? This new system will change the way you play OOTP!
Customizable In-Game Screen - A new in-game screen will feature 'widgets' which can be activated and freely moved around on the screen, enabling users to adjust the available information to suit their preferences and screen resolution! Improved Injury System - The injury system is a very important aspect of a realistic simulation engine. This year we have improved the model used in OOTP in order to recreate more realistic injury frequencies and durations. Players can also suffer setbacks during their recovery.
Inaugural Draft With Budgets - Users can now set team budgets before an inaugural draft takes place, based on balanced budgets, individually set budgets, or based on city population. In this mode, players have contract demands which combined must not exceed your draft budget, and the manager has to keep an eye on the budget when making his picks. The old mode without budgets is still available as well, of course! Minor League Disabled Lists - Each minor league team now has its own disabled list, resulting in better minor league team management.
Improved Arbitration & Free Agent Compensation - Salary arbitration and free agent draft pick compensation have been adjusted to be much closer to the "real world." Players have salary demands, and teams can choose to offer arbitration or not, enabling the player to become a free agent. If the team submits an offer, an arbitrator will rule in favor of either the team or the player. On top of that, players eligible for free agency now must be offered arbitration as well, if the team wants to receive compensation when the player signs with a different team. Draft pick compensation also now follows the Major League rules, with supplemental draft rounds added to the first-year player draft as necessary. Optional Reserve Roster Limit - In leagues without minor leagues we have added the option to put a limit on the size of the reserve roster.
More News Stories - We have added more news stories (for example Manager of the Year Award) and improved existing ones. E-mail Support in Online Leagues - In online leagues we have added the ability for the commish to send e-mails to all league members. Also, once a simulation is done and a new league file is made available, the game automatically sends an e-mail to human GMs, containing the most interesting results for the team during the simulation, including scores, player stats, and more.
Improved Historical Simulation - Improvements to historical simulations this year include reworking the system for calculating historical fielding ratings, the addition of a recalculation period for pitcher endurance, and the addition of new totals modifiers. The accuracy of the first season in any historical leauges was also improvement, making single-season replays more realistic. Historical leagues have never been as realistic as they are in OOTP 10!
Ratings Editor - Another popular feature request was added into OOTP 10: Enter stats and translate them into ratings within the player editor! Team Leaderboards in History - Team leaderboards are now part of the history feature in OOTP. For example, check which teams have scored the most runs in a full season, or which gave up the most walks.
New Skin, improved Report Layout and Fictional Logos - We have improved the look of the game and the HTML reports. Also, teams have better looking fictional logos using the new logo template feature, which improves immersion. Game and Report Creation Speed - We have performed additional performance tuning, resulting in greatly improved overall game speed, especially in the area of HTML report creation.
Much More - Of course, OOTP is nothing if not flexible, and OOTP 10 continues to provide a wide variety of additional options and features that make it the most customizable baseball simulation experience on the market today. We have fine-tuned many aspects of the game to give you better usability, simulation speed, more options, more realistic stat output and most importantly, more fun!
