I just received the Game. It's not a GAME in my eyes. No instructions, no game of baseball. Instead of paying ...for a list of players, go out and get the USA TODAY newspaper. If there is a game here, it's a damn good secret. You can find a list of players at MLB.COM.

Doesn't come close to OOTP

Well, I wonder why people put Baseball Mogul in the same league as Out of the Park Baseball or Season Ticket Baseball. OOTP is so far superior that it's almost frightening. Baseball Mogul is a nice little game, but it lacks key features, for example the ability to actually manage games and there is no online league support. Also, the point system instead of $$ gets boring fast. OOTP 4 will be released March 1st at ..., and it will blow Baseball Mogul out of the water. No competition. None at all. OOTP 3 was already better (by far).

Try Season Ticket Baseball, its a lot better and funnier!

I was a huge fan of baseball mogul 2000 and i was really looking forward to baseball mogul 2002. I was really disappointed that nothing exceptional has been added to the game and basically what you are buying is a patched 2000 version. If you want to play a complete baseball simulation with a lot of controls over everything than baseball mogul 2002 is definately not for you and let me suggest you the best baseball simulation of all time: Season Ticket Baseball! Ever since i bought the game (Season Ticket Baseball) in August i have never played Baseball Mogul AGAIN and i finally realise what stands as a true baseball simulation! Download the demo of baseball mogul and you will realise what i mean! The pros of baseball mogul are: the speed of the simulation, the "buggy" trading block and its simplicity. Compared to Season Ticket, all the rest is playing against Baseball Mogul. Anyway if you never played a simulation you will like it ....until you try Season Ticket Baseball! It's sad that it turned out that way but i guess that's what happens when you don't do anything to improve your product.

Play Ball...

If you love detailed stats and complete control of game play you've found your game. As far as computer Baseball games go, I rank this right under High Heat Baseball for overall playability and fun. Worth the money...

Before you buy, make sure you realize this game is strictly from the GM point of view. You don't get to control much of the game, and definitely won't see any. It's great if you want to try to build a team with trades. But that gets old quick, since real evaluation of talent is watching them play.

Best baseball sim out there!

If you ever wanted to prove you can do a better job running your favorite baseball team better than your team's GM, this is the game to do so. You are the team's GM, making decisions on who to trade, what free agents to sign, which ones to keep, and which ones to let go. A realisitic financial model (just remember that 1 point = $200,000) keeps you from assembling a team of superstars to destroy the competition with and makes you spend your money wisely. You also decide how much to spend on your scouting, farm system, and medical staff, as well as set ticket prices, and decide what kind of television contract you want. You set your lineup and pitching rotation, and let the program simulate your games.

The game is also highly customizable, letting you alter player ratings, city information, stadium statistics, and so on. Don't agree with a certain player's statistics? changet hem so that they are closer to what you think they should be. Is your team opening up a new stadium? Change your teams stadium data. Or you could find league files on fan sites with all of this done for you.

The game is also extremely well supported by the guys at Sports Mogul, Inc., putting out new patches when a new bug is found, and occasionally a new feature added to the game at no extra cost.

If you want to build a baseball dynasty without the finger-twitching of some of the other baseball games out there, this is the game to buy.

A great Game For Baseball Fans

Baseball Mogul by Sports Mogul is by far the best baseball simulation I have ever played. The game test your skill as a General Manager and as an owner. (Kind of like Steinbrenner I guess) Every thing from running the farm club to setting your lineup to setting ticket prices, this game has it all. The thrill of spending big bucks on high-priced talent to trying to win with a small market - and small budget - team are both included. Sports Mogul also has the best coustomer service I have ever seen in a game product. The game designer often views the message boards at the Mogul site for ways to improve the product and to help anwser any technical questions. I give the game 5 stars only because I can't give 6.

Thanks to This Game I Have No Life

Normally I'm not much into games, but this one has me totally hooked. Think of Civilization or Sim City crossed with managing a baseball team and that's what you get. It is highly addictive and a must for any Napoleanic baseball fan.

The best GM game available!!

Baseball Mogul 2K2 is the best game available for all that dream of running a major sports franchise.

The complete control over the game is one of the best features. You decide who plays, or who doesn't play, who is sitting in AAA waiting for a chance to prove their worth to the team, or who is up in the Show smashing homers or striking out 10 a game.

This game features some great AI in almost all areas. The game runs smoothly with many statistical features sure to please anyone who loves stats. Improvements are continually added through patches, and BBM2K2 even includes your favorite players of today. Trading, free agency, retirement, and the Hall of Fame game are just some of the great aspects of this game.

The people developing BBM2K2 are great, offering awesome support, patches, and even online forums to give suggestions to improve the gameplay.

Without question, BBM2K2 is the best sports game available.

Careful, you'll get hooked.

If you have ever dreamed of running a major league baseball team this is your chance.

Game was fun. The different levels are good but also within each level of difficulty different teams are easier than others, e.g. being the Yankees is easier because you always have more money.

Only pain is when going from one level of difficulty to another the game gas to reset and that takes a couple of minutes. No that big a deal.

Otherwise, a lot of fun and very addictive. I would suspect that if you enjoyplaying Fantasy Baseball than you will love this game.
