Out of the Park Baseball 6.5 reviewed

For those who like to swing the bat, and hear the crack of the ball as it sails into the stands, this is not your game. Please move along. For those who like to see the general overview, and do things from the front office, this is your game. Have a seat.

Out of the Park has been around for many years now. Version 6 shipped… Okay, was first downloaded, over a year ago. There were a few patches. Then the developer was picked up by SI Games, and started working on a new version of the game. Users were told that was it. There'd be nothing new until the SI produced version arrived. Then whoops, they lied. Here, have an expansion pack which adds a few features, the value of which varies greatly, depending on how you play the game. (Do some research if you're thinking of buying. For me, the expansion pack was worthless.)

One thing worth noting: There is a monstrous bug with sound in the game from version 6 that has NOT been fixed in 6.5. In short, if you have the sounds on while playing out a game, for reasons unknown, it might crash, screwing your league up. The developer claims it's DirectX related, not the game. Doesn't make it any easier to cope with when your league gets messed up.
