Only Baseball game that can span 100 years since
SSI's Tony Larussa's Old time Baseball, only with
this game can you get to wheel and deal players,
it could use a better game manual but as far as
a decent baseball game that is built around
100 years of simulation strategy and not arcade play
"it's the only game in town".

I enjoy the game because it allows you to play manager of a real MLB team like no other game. You get to establish the lineups and pitching, defensive, and batting strategies. You control your farm system. It's the most realistic I've ever seen or played. The only error in the game is that it is too easy. By the second time I played the game I've been able to establish franchises that dominate the league by making the playoffs for 20 straight years and winning the world series 15 of those 20 years. There is too much talent amongst the up and coming rookie talent that the computer generates. With a careful eye a manager can score some All-star talent for very cheap because the computer owners aren't very bright. Also a heavy investment in your recruiting/farm system guarantees success at a far cheaper price than going after the A-rods and Randy Johnsons of the league. There are just too many awesome free agents each year to make it competitive. Apart from that it is still a fun game that can lose it's appeal after your fourth dynasty that has a .700 winning percentage over a 15 year span.

There are a few faults that I hope the Sports Mogul company can fix with this program. First off the designers didn't model in the possiblity of strikes or lock-outs...

Look, do you see any sport game that has strikes/lockouts? No. I dont think so. People dont want to be reminded of strikes and they will like the sport less if they have strikes. SAME WITH THE GAMES. Anyways its a great stat game.
