OOTP Baseball Go 25

I would say this is the best baseball GM game available on mobile. Other than having the option to buy historic seasons, there are no extra purchases needed to enjoy an in-depth GM experience that has tons to offer. The roster management is great, and the ability to create your own baseball universe is a lot of fun. The graphic in-game experience is adequate, but this is not The Show. The best features are under the hood. I get a few quirks in how the roster columns sometimes don’t show, and in my current alternate franchise the player experience now has players with 216 years experience. These minor bugs keep me from giving 5 stars. But I would still highly recommend this game if you want to dive into the depths of a franchise baseball game.

Overall OOTP has the Baseball simulator games locked down. If you buy all the years for franchise, you can manage a team from 1900 to now. Very in depth. The only draw back this year from others is if you start on any year besides this year, all the players are not under contract and you spend a ton of time trying to sign your players. In the past, no matter when you started, if a players was under a certain contract that year, the game would start that way. It’s annoying and you can get thru it. The perfect team mode is fun. I play this mode the most. This will probably be the last year I do play it. The cost for cards have gone crazy high, every year it just seems to get worse and worse with there being no cap on how how you can sell cards. If your not obsessed and playing every tournament you can, a lot of missions and the cards you might get are out of reach because other players know you will need a key card out of it, and jack the price up. When I say jack the price up I mean if you were to buy the coins/points for the card it would cost you hundreds of dollars to be able to obtain the card and complete a mission. Makes the mode not fun, and it make OOTP a lot of money lol. If buying it for franchise mode, the game is totally worth it. Side note, if you got this game on your phone app, and want to play it on the pc, you have to pay full price for both. You can’t link you account.

‪Still no historical minor leagues, historic season setup wizard skips over half the options so I can’t choose my ratings scale and things like that, presumably historic draft classes are non existent again this year. Are we supposed to only play the modern season and nothing else‬? And now the app costs $10 and you still have to pay another $20 to get the historic seasons just for them to be only half functional again this year. It also just flat out runs worse on a newer phone than last year did on an older one before my upgrade. Waste of money. EDIT: new update introduced a fun visual bug where the ball glitches around the field when contact is made. It doesn’t affect gameplay in that whether or not it’s a hit or an out is not determined by this animation, but it makes actually managing a game an ugly mess to watch. Edited review from 2 stars to one. Call me when historic seasons have actual minor leagues like the desktop game and not just a reserve roster where nobody ever develops.
