If there’s one caveat to my recommendation, it’s that this game is not OOTP. There is a definite difference in what is and can be included in this mobile version of the game. You have to temper your expectations a bit--expectations that may have been set by the always awesome OOTP. There isn’t feature for feature parity here, and while that is completely understandable, it is important to know. Not having a full minor league system, for instance, may be a deal-breaker for some OOTP vets.

- 8.0While it’s very plain to look at and has a somewhat cumbersome interface at times, it’s sure to entertain stats fans given just how much you can accomplish here. You can finally live your dream of taking your beloved side all the way. Just don’t expect it to be much easier than in real life. This is a simulator, first and foremost.
- 8.0Regardless, MLB Manager 2015 is a solid game that can provide killer value, and you can't expect a baseball game to dramatically change on a year-to-year basis. I just would love to see more iteration to make this the five-star baseball simulator that it could be. But still, what other choice do you have?
- 9.0That takes us back to my original point, which is that MLB Manager 2015 serves a very particular audience of hardcore baseball fans, but it does it in a way that is unsurpassed by any other mobile baseball title, and probably any other mobile sports sim of any kind, for that matter. If your favorite part of the winter finally giving way to warmer weather is the thought that the boys of summer will soon be back in action, this is the game you’ll want on your phone or tablet ASAP.
