The free version of OOTP 8 is fully-functional. There are no restricted features, the game never expires, and you can play unlimited seasons. It"s free in the simplest sense of the word. What is OOTP 8? According to GameSpy, "If you have any interest in the guts of baseball, OOTP is simply a must-own product. It"s a landmark achievement." In most fantasy baseball leagues, you draft players, and then you watch stats. Maybe you pull off a trade or two, but that"s about it. With OOTP, you can create your own baseball world, and you handle everything a real general manager would: draft players, make trades, scour the waiver wire, scout players, sign free agents, and more. In addition, you have the option of controlling the day-to-day coaching duties as well: establish lineups, set depth charts, set the pitching rotation, and manage each game with OOTP"s pitch-by-pitch engine. You can play OOTP using real Major League teams including full minor leagues (with Opening Day 2007 rosters), use any historical year in baseball from 1901-2006, or create your own completely fictional baseball league. OOTP even supports online leagues so you can have the ultimate challenge: managing against other human players!
