This is one of the most fun games i have ever played it allows u to control a team from 1901 to present with the actual rosters from that year. and after 2007 u can play 100 years into the future. This game is very statistical. u can choose from over 70 sortable stats. If u dont have it buy it. the only flaw in this game is the glich were u can here the sound of the ball going into the glove before it acctually happens. other than that this is one of the top 3 games i have ever played

Do not waste your money. This game is not like mlb for playstation or other consoles. you have really no control of nothing. All you do is click the mouse. No actual game play as catching or running or even batting controls and not even pitching. It simulates and shows no simulation at all. If you could rate an item with no stars then this is the game. No fun at all.

This is a great strategic game. If you like sports and enjoy strategic planning, this is a great game.

Great Game if you get into stats and want to run a team without all the graphic interface and baseball game details, yet you still can take control of the day to day couching if you like.

If I had lived a different life as a baseball owner, I think i'd most likely be more of an absentee owner becoz I lost interest in this game in about a week - the lil bugs here and there sometimes don't make sense but i didn't see a whole ton of fun in this game. About the only really interesting thing I noticed is during the amateur draft, when you let the game choose your picks for you - the game will usually draft players that the teams actually did draft or before the advent of the draft, players that they historically signed. The most obvious bug I noticed was a no name pitcher in said amateur draft occasionally, a player that the game wouldn't let me draft - I think a good option would've been to allow the game player set the ratings themselves - maybe I thought this game would be different.

Good, not Great

Being a life long Strat-O_Matic player, this game intrigued me. The opportunity to play any player, any season was appealing. The GM aspect and pre-game managing of your lineup is great. The game suffers in game play. Animations are cheesey, and the ball parks don't change. I understand that there is a way to change the stadiums, I just haven't figured it out yet. Stolen bases are 50-50 at best, and pitchers always seem to fall apart in the later innings. Also, a dominant closer means nothing as of yet, as every closer I've used so far has managed to blow quite a few saves. The encyclopedia function is also interesting, and saving season stats is cool once you figure it out. Overall, not a bad game for $20, but I'll stick to Strat for realism.

I usually start my game in 1901 and go far into the future. It is fairly easy for me to win most of the World Series titles even on the most difficult setting. I guess that's not too realistic, but the fun is in the numbers-setting new records, getting 300 wins, getting 3000 hits setting the single season HR so high even Bonds couldn't break it, etc. I also enjoy learning the history of old time players. Baseball Mogul makes me so curious about the players I look them up on Wikipedia. My baseball knowledge has grown immensely because of the game. Some of those old-timer were really characters such as Rube Waddell or Mike Donlin. Whenever I start a new game from 1901 I find myself trading for my favorite players. Roger Bresnahan probably tops list. My line up is never complete unless Roger is the catcher.

As another reviewer stated it is fairly easy to get an all-star lineup, but having all-stars does not guarentee a title. In the game I am playing now my starting rotation includes Walter Johnson, Pete Alexander, Dutch Leonard, Herb Pennock and Eddie Cicotte. Not exactly slouches, but I've finished 2nd the last two seasons after a string of 5 titles.

I deducted 1 star because of bugs. Even with the latest patch(10.14?)
there are some problems.

Still too similar to last 10 versions

While this series has advanced some, I can't get over how similar 2008's version is to even 1998's game. This season the live game action is better, but you STILL have no control over baserunners. Sometimes your fastest runner won't try to score from 3rd with two outs on a single. The user should be able to decide whether he risks it or not. The free agency system is still out-dated and no other teams really bother competing for star players during the off-season. Basically if you're willing to pay the player's demands, you can easily build an allstar team within one year. Some may say this is realistic, but there still needs to be some competition for star quality players. They should have bidding wars where other teams drive up the price at the last minute and sometimes actually steal a player away from you.

If you really want to exploit the game's weaknesses, just control a very low budget team like the Royals or Nationals for one season. You will ALWAYS make a profit so you can triple your payroll the following year and build an allstar team. This is silly as any baseball fan knows the Royals and other low budget teams would never triple their payroll in one year, and can rarely if ever sign big name players. It's kind of a fun game to play one season in, but over multiple years it's laughably simple to have a lineup consisting of eight superstars and a a starting rotation of all Cy Young winners. Maybe the online leagues are better for live competition but who knows.....
