Operation Sports has awarded OOTP 10 their "Text Sim of the Year" for 2009, saying that we "ran away from the competition," outranking competitor Baseball Mogul 61% to 17%. Some of the comments from reviewers included:

"Out of the Park still gives you nearly limitless options, in-depth features and is always a joy to play. When I find myself becoming tired of or unsatisfied with my current franchise, I simply start a new one, perhaps in a different era or with completely made up teams."

"The game also has excellent simulation engine with limitless customization options for historic eras of baseball or the current real-life season. What an amazing game."

"Out of the Park Baseball X was released at the beginning of 2009, and I am still playing it on at least a weekly (if not daily) basis. While there are countless other endorsements I could give the game, the simple fact that it is just as fun now as it was when I first started playing is an endorsement enough."

Gaming Nexus just released their review of OOTP 10, in which they gave us an A- and said, "If your typical video game has as many options as a car stereo, then OOTP could be compared to the mixing board at a professional recording studio. This is both exhilarating and frightening at the same time. Thankfully, OOTP knows how intimidating its sim-muscles can be so it offers an extensive help system. OOTP sets the bar for being user friendly with video tutorials and over 600 pages of help information all easily accessible at the press of a button. There is also a classy and dedicated fan base that answer questions in the game’s forums."
