### 3/5 — Love this on the desktop, buggy on mobile

*2022-12-30, version 23.10.1030140*

The mobile app doesn’t remember my login despite my configuration to do so.

Whenever I attempt to use automatic password entry (OS integrated or 1Password), OOTP23 frequently crashes.

When I can login there are things missing on mobile, or at least I cannot find them. Mostly the league leaders by team such as which team (not player) leads the league in ERA, or OPS, etc.

I mostly want to use the mobile app for keeping track of my Perfect Team and league performance.

I don’t have any of these issues with the desktop app on Windows or macOS, and truly enjoy the addictive experience of building a team/franchise and driving them to excellence.

### 3/5 — Fun but annoying

*2022-11-06, version 23.08.0980120*

This game is fun. That being said, on historical saves there is no minor league complex or draft. Another issue is that Ai teams win 130 games a year. I won 106 games and was 7 games out of the wild card. I had to stop playing a save because I ran out of money and players. Another thing is that some teams don’t have enough players then you can’t play. Just a few things.

### 4/5 — Draft issues

*2022-09-25, version 23.07.0870091*

This is an awesome game and I love it, but I have one issue. Why are the drafts without prospects? I want to have them, but they never appear. Is this an issue on my end or something? Please help.

### 4/5 — I’m confused

*2022-09-15, version 23.07.0870091*

Great game I’m just confused how to send player to minors for Rehab

### 4/5 — Cannot load Tournaments/Perfect Draft after Update

*2022-09-08, version 23.07.0870091*

Please address issue. Updated to newest iOS and version then reset system. Very frustrating. 

Other than that a great game.

### 4/5 — Too many unknown player locations

*2022-08-26, version 23.06.0800070*

Looking forward to having player birth place in a future update, overall great game though

### 2/5 — Much worse than OOTP Go

*2022-08-11, version 23.06.0780060*

This only applies to the Perfect Team portion:

They took OOTP Go, improved one facet, and ruined the rest. What was already a pay-to-win game got turned into a pay-to-even-be-able-to-progress game. You earn points at a crawl, and what was probably my favorite part of the original, Perfect Draft, has been completely ruined as you have to sign up 4-6 days in advance to even get a spot in one where you can win a card vs doing 2 or 3 per day.

They did improve the auction house - making it easier to search for cards and improving how cards are bought and sold. But that’s it as far as improvements go. 

Just a few of the issues…
You have to physically enter your login info almost every time, even when selecting the “remember me” button every time. The settings can never be saved…this was an issue on OOTP Go as well. It doesn’t matter how many times you try to change them and submit your team to save the settings, they’ll be changed back on your next login. When setting depth charts, if I set it for one player to sub for LF every 2nd game, CF every 4th game, and RF every 6th game, it will sub that player for LF every other game and never sub for CF or RF. And if you have 3 right handed relievers all set for “normal” usage middle relief, one of them will never get used and the other two will get used all the time, and it’s not even the higher rated players. 

There are dozens of examples similar to those where the functionality of the game is significantly worse than it was in the previous version. Add that to the developers purposely making it impossible to progress and enjoy the game without spending hundreds of dollars, and you’ve got yourself a big fat dud!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Junk

*2022-10-19, version 23.08.0930101*

I thought the previous versions were buggy, (and they were)
This one is absolute junk
If you set all the controls to yourself, the computer still takes over and changes everything on your team and you can’t get it to stop
If you set it to stop once a month or once a week, it just keeps going and never stops unless you cancel the progress
It’s literally like you are watching the game play your team for you
This version also freezes and crashes just as much as the last versions
Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Shonhei Otani can’t Hit

*2022-10-15, version 23.08.0930101*

I traded for Shohei he cannot be a batter in this version.

### 1/5 — Literally a roster update

*2022-09-15, version 23.07.0870091*

No new features. Took them till the middle of the season to release a roster update, no new features, no new functionality, still can’t edit contracts or run commish mode.  Just play 22, same app.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous it’s this poor.

*2022-09-13, version 23.07.0870091*

It wastes 15% if the iPhone 12 display making it impossible to play. You used to be good. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2022-08-28, version 23.06.0800070*

Doesn’t work, go into Franchise mode and everytime the app just kills itself and you lose all your progress.

### 1/5 — How to review a game that ALWAYS crashes before you can play?

*2022-08-21, version 23.06.0800070*

Enjoyed playing OOTP Baseball years ago, finally decided to buy the 2022 version. I can’t properly review the game because IT ALWAYS CRASHES JUST BEFORE THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY BEGINS! ALWAYS. 

I contacted their customer service. To their. Refit, they got back to me within 8 hours asking for a debug report…which I sent. And now, over a week later … crickets. The baseball season and my patience is soon ending. Ready to demand a refund.

What a shame.

### 2/5 — Confused and wondering where my old purchases went

*2022-12-24, version 23.10.1030140*

I used to play this game a ton last year it was like ootp baseball 22 or 21 and I bought the season and the character editor things but I clicked restore purchases and it says I can’t play the season on the new ootp baseball 23. Do I have to purchase the season AGAIN? 2 stars until someone helps

### 2/5 — Frequent lost progress due to crashes

*2022-11-07, version 23.08.0980120*

The app frequently crashes and loses all progress since the last auto save. This happens most often to me while doing a draft. I’ve lost entire 40 round drafts because it never bothered to auto save. It’s brutal. Such a waste of time.

### 2/5 — Mystery baserunners spoils experience

*2022-09-14, version 23.07.0870091*

This game is not as enjoyable as earlier versions. More bells and whistles with less quality gameplay. The appearance at the top of an inning of runners already on base spoils game strategy and the fun in close games.

### 2/5 — Huh?

*2022-08-27, version 23.06.0800070*

I though last year’s OOTP GO was supposed to negate these yearly mobile releases? Also loading previous data with the code to your email doesn’t work. I’ve tried twice with two different codes. I’m done with new versions if I can’t import my purchases for historical seasons.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2023-02-27, version 23.10.1090160*

Every time I open this app, I am constantly impressed by its presentation and user interface. It’s so easy to maneuver and scroll through screens and data, and I’m amazed how well the information is presented. The features and customization are limited compared to the desktop version, but it’s still a very fun game, and it’d be great to see OOTP improve even more by adding those missing features to future editions.

### 5/5 — Hooked!

*2023-02-17, version 23.10.1090160*

I love OOTP but don’t have the time to sit and play at a computer. I was excited when they first released the iOOTP game. It was a good first attempt but it still felt like something was missing.  Fast forward to the 23 version and the menus and interface work much better. Can’t believe this game flies under the radar.

### 5/5 — Amazing management game

*2022-09-22, version 23.07.0870091*

We need NFL/NBA/NCAA Football versions of this so badly

### 5/5 — Issue with latest release

*2022-09-12, version 23.07.0870091*

After the latest patch, Perfect Team no longer prompts for downloading updated league files, sends notifications for sold cards or even arriving Twitch packs.  It’s like in game notifications have stopped.   Otherwise, truly a great game!

### 5/5 — OOTP

*2022-09-05, version 23.07.0840080*

All around Great game! If you love baseball this game is for you .

### 5/5 — Best baseball game out there!

*2022-08-12, version 23.06.0800070*

This is the most complete baseball game out there.

### 5/5 — Play Ball!

*2022-08-10, version 23.06.0780060*

I’ve been a fan of Out of the Park’s mobile baseball management games since iOOTP and I’m stunned to see how far they have taken the app. It is now the desktop game packing light enough to fit mobile devices. The screens look great on an iPad Pro. I love that the historical seasons that I bought for last year’s OOTP GO app could be imported seamlessly into OOTP GO 23.

### 5/5 — Bargain

*2022-08-09, version 23.06.0780060*

This is a new and substantially improved version of the original online game, that was solid in its own right.  Yes, the app is free, and you get the 1931, 1971, and 2001 MLB Seasons with the app.  Other seasons can be purchased.  The developers were kind enough to facilitate importing seasons previously purchased with the original app.  That makes it easier to invest in additional seasons.  

The setup is intuitive and the gameplay is realistic and challenging.  You can play as manager and/or general manager, or simply structure seasons and then sit back and let them play out automatically.  There are a myriad of settings to influence how the AI approaches the game, and you can change the rules and mix up the teams and players.  The graphics are vivid on a small screen, and capture the competition and flow of the games.  

This app only pales in comparison to the full desktop version of OOTP, currently 23, which is a comprehensive baseball universe, for Mac and PC, currently priced at $40.  That game is the best baseball simulation I have ever played.  But of course I can’t always be at my computer, even my laptop.  GO gives me the chance to have the familiar OOTP experience on my phone and my iPad, when I travel.  You can’t beat the price.

### 4/5 — Historical season draft issue

*2023-01-21, version 23.10.1090160*

Fun game as always but there’s a bug with historical seasons where no players are included in the draft.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2023-01-17, version 23.10.1030140*

I love this game and it gets better and better every year!! Only problem I have is when u start in say 1996 with those rosters after the season there’s no draft class. In prior games u would have 1997 rookies come in and it was fun is there a way to get that fixed please?
