Gameplay Video

Description

Out of the Park Baseball 25 continues the series, with the usual focus on inhabiting the manager or general manager of a licensed or fictional team.

Noteworthy new features include:

  • New player ratings for catcher framing and basestealing aggressiveness
  • Player Development Lab and coaching feature, allowing some degree of control over attribute development
  • Visual filters for historical leagues to approximate old TV broadcasts

Developer-approved mods available in the Steam Workshop greatly amplify the game's viability for historical playthroughs, with added historical stadiums, logos, and player likenesses.

The day before the game's release, it was announced that OOTP 25 would not have a native Linux version at launch due to unresolved issues with SDK updates.

Roster

Full professional rosters are included for MLB and KBO, including the entire minor league system for both leagues. Historical rosters are also available for MLB going back to 1871. Some formerly independent MLB partner leagues (Frontier League, Atlantic League, etc.) are licensed and included.

The Dutch and British professional leagues are also fully licensed and available for play. These leagues were not included in Out of the Park Baseball 24 after being unlicensed but available to play in previous entries in the series.

A database of current-day amateur players is also included to populate the first several draft classes, with real names and ability ratings (but with no likeness or a randomly-generated likeness depending on user settings).

Some Korean pros like Ji-Man Choi appear with randomized names in-game due to an unspecified Korean legal requirement.
