Out of the Park Developments, an official licensee of MLB.com, the MLBPA, and MiLB.com, today announced that Out of the Park Baseball 18 will be released on March 24, 2017. The follow-up to the acclaimed Metacritic 2016 PC Game of the Year includes several exciting new features and a treasure trove of deep improvements to its award-winning gameplay.
For the first time, Out of the Park Baseball 18 introduces an all-new Challenge Mode. This will allow series newcomers to enjoy a powerful way to learn the intricacies of this deep strategy title, while driving community engagement for all users via the creation of online profiles to share accomplishments on new leaderboards. The Challenge Mode is just the beginning of an all-new, long-term expansion of OOTP’s online platform – more will be unveiled during the course of the 2017 baseball season.
Check out the Teaser:
“Out of the Park Baseball (OOTP) was first released in 1999 and is in its 16th incarnation. Its feature set has grown tremendously over the years, and today it’s the most sophisticated and realistic baseball management game available. OOTP has won many awards over the years, including multiple Sports Game of the Year honors.
Like the sport it simulates, OOTP is flexible in many ways. You can immerse yourself in a baseball world any way you want. Create a league in commissioner mode and simply watch it evolve over decades. Take the reins in GM-only mode and conduct trades, negotiate with free agents, oversee team finances, and grow your farm system with careful draft picks. Dive deep into Manager-only mode and call the strategies for every at-bat from the dugout. Or take on GM + Manager mode and do it all.
You can also build a unique baseball world, thanks to OOTP’s rich customization features. Set up a league in another country. Turn on free agency and/or the DH in the early part of the 20th century. Bring the dead ball era into a modern day league. See what happens when mingling superstars of yesterday and today in the same league. You can create just about anything you want with OOTP.”
