What is the best baseball sim game?

Tiny by Grubbie on

Didn't want to just completely hijack the Clemens thread.  I have played a couple of version of Baseball Mogul and enjoyed them.  I have been addicted to SIGames Football/Championship Manager series and I found out today they make Out Of The Park Baseballseries(just release today).  My brother mentioned to me PureSim 2007 which he was going to buy for my dad.

I know there are probably more out there, but what won do people like the best?

I've only played OOTP
but it's pretty sweet. The new one looks great too.
I know! We can teach someone to hit against lefties by benching them every time we face them! -Mike Hargrove

I like What If Sports...
It's fun and easy, but you gotta pay for it. If you get real good though, you can play for free, which luckily I've been able to do.

Never actually played a baseball sim game before
But been thinking of trying out OOTP2006.
Fire Mike Hargrove. GO RANGERS!

I'm considering it as well
But I can't even keep up with my fantasy team for more than 2 months.

New Hardball Dynasty program in open testing now, open to everyone in a couple weeks. Great game.

Disclaimer: I intern for them. But I used the site for years before I began working there.

I just bought OOTP2006
I will let every one know how it is.

I'm not sure if LL is choosing the OOTP ads on the side or if SB Nation does that, but somebody will get a nice 3% commision on the sale(or 5% if they are linking a lot of people that are buying).

So if you are going to buy it, click on through the ad and help out SB Nation... That is if Jeff and Devin get a kickback from SB Nation.

it's SB picking the ad
it's on every SB blog.

I figured it was SB Nation...
Oh well SB Nation still gets a kickback of a nice 3% for the first 500 people that go through the links and buy and then 5% for anybody else.

Not that it really counts...
but I miss High Heat for PC. That was the most fun I've ever had tweaking and playing a baseball game.

I miss Sierra's FPS series
It had by far the best in game stat tracking and break downs of any baseball game to date. Every single split you could imagine at the time was available. It also provided monthly splits, weekly splits etc so you could see who was hot and who wasn't. The graphics were never that great on it but the physics engine and state engine were great.

The second to last High Heat was the next closest thing to it, I didn't like the last iteration of High Heat though the PC menus didn't have mouse support, ugh. With the baseball exclusivity deal being limited to first party games, Japanese takes on MLB and Take Two or whoever it is I hope MS has the foresight to ressurect HH since they're the ones who own the rights to it now.

MVP05 for PC has a good mod community, but they can only do so much with the existing game sadly.

Baseball Mogul 2007
Is a fantastic Baseball Sim
