If you're a fantasy baseball junkie, you'll love this game!

If you're a fantasy baseball junkie, you'll love this game. I looked at the version from last year and didn't pick it up but based upon things I'd heard about this year's game I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did!
The ability to draft your own team and not just start with the rosters of each team is great. Face it fantasy baseball junkies, half the fun is drafting. You'll get your draft fix with this game and then the fun is only beginning.
From there it's your job to keep your team winning while also attempting to improve your team by trades, free agent signings, and bringing up kids from the farm. On top of that you also have to keep your owner happy by keeping his team in the black making money. You also have the option to eventually build a new stadium and move your team into it.
The only real drawback to the game is the lack of a disabled list. It would be nice to put a guy on the DL when he's going to be out for more than 2 weeks rather than waste a bench spot on him. I've also noticed that many of the injuries are repetitive, stress fractures seem to be the most popular by far and foot stress fractures hit almost everybody eventually which is weird.

Stimulating and addictive

As a Red Sox fan, I constantly question the moves made by the front office of my beloved team. Do I think I can do better? Of course! I love the challenge of acquiring and trading players, building a championship team without a hefty payroll, developing minor leaguers, and crafting the perfect batting order and rotation. I have played Baseball Mogul for hours on end, playing several seasons in one sitting to see if my moves pay off. And you can do just about anything in this game: set ticket prices, determine length of pitcher's starts, even trash Fenway and build a new stadium. I have been entertained by this game for countless hours!

Quick and Easy

In today's world of having everything occur instantly, Baseball Mogul delivers. The game is easy enough that you can be playing the role of George Stienbrenner in less than 5 minutes. It has an easy to use Windows interface that allows you to jump to different features within 1 or 2 clicks of your mouse.

With the new historical database added to Baseball Mogul 2004, you can replay any year in history. See the Red Sox crowned champions in 1986! What would have happened if there was no strike in 1981? The scenerios and possibilities are unlimited. Keep in mind this game is for the person looking to control a team from the front office. Make trades, sign free agents, allot more money to your farm system, raise or lower ticket prices, and develop prospects. You can simulate 1 day or the entire season. It is very feasible to simulate several seasons in less than an hour. For less than $..., this game is priced right. I'd recommend trying the demo distributed by the company to see if Baseball Mogul 2004 is right for you.

THE BEST EVER!

This game is the #1 selling baseball game on Amazon.com with good reason. It's the best Baseball Mogul yet, and Baseball Mogul is the best baseball game ever.

Two biggest features for this year:

1) Full screen interface. No more hurting eyes!

2) New sortable lists let you see some or all the players in the league and sort by any stat, and show any stat. Career Innings Pitched Per Game? Minor League On-Base Plus Slugging? Year-To-Date Quality Start Percentage? You name it, they got it!

3) 100 years of stats! I loved kicking ... with the 1953 Dodgers and taking them into the 60s. Still working to outdo Tommy Lasorda's record.

And of course the whole game has been improved. A capstone accomplishment!

Excellent game.

Baseball Mogul 2004 is a great improvement of previous incranations as you can manage any team in history. As a Mets fan, I am currently managing the team through the 1970's, trying to avoid the trainwreck that the franchise faced in the late 1970's. A great game just got better.

Baseball Mogul rocks da house!

I just discovered Baseball Mogul and wish I had found it years ago. Why isn't this great game better known? Its got more game than Chuck Woolery. You get to be the general manager for a real MLB team, managing the roster, recruiting free agents, setting play strategies and setting salaries. In short, everything a real general manager does. Its not much in the way of an arcade fix but if you're looking for strategy, you get it in spades.

Baseball Mogul Rocks!

OK, if you're looking for an exact historical simulation game, this isn't for you. It's not perfect, has some errors, and typos. But the ultimate test for a game is if it's fun, and this game is a blast-it's addicting. Once you start, you can't stop! I play the fantasy draft option, rather than replaying real seasons, as it is a real trip. You enter an alternate universe where some real players never existed, and some fictional ones pop up each season. It takes a while to learn all of the ins and outs of the game, but it is a lot of fun. There ARE a few things the makers could do to improve it: make free Agency competitive, go into the Awards/All-Stars areas more (the All-Star Game especially)as well as refine existing features, but overall i love this game!
