So do you think that you may do it better?
By A
This the the game that gives you a probability to be the proprietor of the next baseball dynasty. Whether that is the Tampa Bay Devil Rays or San Degio Padres. This game gives you a probability to run real players in fictional team names (guess they didn't get the owners premission) in real citys. Or just trash it all and use real players and fabricate your team for you own hometown. Think you may fetch in the "Rocket" to your home market and afford him for more then what the Yankees are paying? Can you make it to the World Series and win and fetch a net profit to your team? These are all answers that you may answer with this game. You have the prospect to become an owner and set everything from the price of the beer and hotdogs with the ticket prices to decisive whether persons in your city need to pay-per-view your games or be capable to watch in on the local channel. Make the huge trades, trash the current stadium and build another. Make your farm system one of the best in the league so that when your innovative day heros commence to age you have a great deal of young bucks more than willing to keep your team running hard. This game does model the aging procedure and you may watch as numerous of your most essential players are retired, hopefully you have planned well and got a good deal of new ones online. Even better with this game you may set up a Email game and be the Commish and run a league. Fanasty Baseball at it is best. With being a single player the most difficult decision now and then that may be made is whether to set up and watch a play-by-play of a game or have the game play out a week or month in a couple of minutes. I have been playing this game for regarding 3 months and I have taken the Mariners (or in the game Sailors) to the Series 5 times in 9 seasons and won all five times.
The other huge thing in regards to this game is the number of stats that you may ask for. Just with regards to any stat that a good deal of one may think of this game will have it. RBI's, Home Runs, ERA,Win Precentage, Fielding Precentage, Errors, etc.
There are a few faults that I hope the Sports Mogul company may fix with this program. First off the designers didn't model in the possiblity of strikes or lock-outs. THe other thing that they didn't model in is player-owner fueds. Those are minor faults when equated to all that this game has to offer.

The Best of it's kind
By A
By far, Baseball Mogul is the best in the very scarce Sports ownership games. Why? It's the only game with the MLBPA license, meaning it has REAL major league players. You may likewise delete teams, add teams, make new cities, sign free agents, modify names of teams, and receive or deny trades by a computer controlled opponent. There is likewise a fantasy draft, where you may build your dream team. All of the games in this genre have the same options, but I've played a lot of them, and not one thing even comes close to what Baseball Mogul offers. There might for less games like this, but this is the game you want to buy. I highly commend this game over the others.

Must LOVE baseball to take pleasure in this game
By J. McVie
This game is a stat hound's dream come true. If you check MLB.com each day to see who did what, and actually take delight in reading box scores, you will have a blast with Mogul 2003. It recreates the foilings of players demanding higher salaries each few years and also the unbelievable gratification of realizing that the rookie left fielder you have been cultivating in the minors for two years will not only be in the next few All-Star games and MVP voting, but he is also signed for the next five years to a dirt cheap contract.

Make trades, set ticket prices, dump excess baggage players, and even watch as games take place on a play by play screen, but don't suppose to see players in truth playing the game. This baby is all words, numbers, and player portraits. If you genuinely LOOOOOVE baseball that much, you ought to have this game. It will take away hours upon hours of you life. If you must have arcade action, stay very far away from this game or any other stats based sports simulator.
