How much does OOTP educate you?
Well...I can say this.
First of all, I have learned more about the history of baseball playing this game than reading any book or watching any video.
I have played historical seasons like 1986, 1919, 1927, 1994, 1969, 1955, 2003, and many other years.
Playing those years have let me get a glimpse of Ruth, Gehrig, Shoeless, Mathewson, Cobb, Williams, Mays, Gooden, Lajoie, Aaron, and many others too numerous to name.
Its almost like going back in time to see these baseball legends play the game the way they did during those eras.
Playing current seasons, real-time and simmed have taught me about the minor league systems and bringing players up and demoting them down.
It has also shown me about how finances work and how to make deals, trades and good draft pick choices.
Since I also contribute to the community with jerseys, caps and logos, it has taught me to use websites in order modify graphics, so that I can give back to the community.
I have learned more about baseball and designing playing OOTP since I played my first version of this game many years ago, which was OOTP4!
So, IMHO, this game is not only fun, relaxing and yes, frustrating sometimes, (AI CHEATS)

, but if you want some education about the history, finances and rules of baseball, nothing beats OOTP!!!
So we give lots of thanks to Markus Heinsohn, Matt Arnold, LukasBurger and many others for helping to bring the finest baseball game on the market.
And if you guys think OOTP19 looks super awesome, I can only imagine what Markus has up his sleeves for the future.
Every game he has done has ALWAYS surpassed the one before.
And he is not stopping anytime soon!
