Summary: For what its worth...
Review: In my view, the game is great. While it is not a huge improvement over past versions it is still better than anything prior. There was enough done to the game for me to buy the 2004 version. I would have liked to see an Amateur draft included, but I realize how difficult of a change this would be, however I do look forward to it being included in a future version. In the end I must say that for the price I definitely get much more than my money's worth with this game. I will keep me thoroughly entertained for many months.

Summary: Quick and Easy
Review: 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.

Summary: Game that makes you think!
Review: Many games today don't require much thinking, but this one does. This game is wonderful because you can take any team, and pretty much manage the entire organization for the entire season. If your team isn't doing well, trade players or bring someone up from the minors! You can change ticket prices... I found this game very fun too. I was able to have the Padres win the world series (after trading much of the original team). If you are looking for a game that requires you to think while having fun, get this game!

Summary: Addicting!
Review: 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!

Summary: THE BEST EVER!
Review: 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!

Summary: Fun for a while..
Review: This is a fun little game. It does not compare to the other text based games (like out of the park 5), but it does not try to. If you like your game lite w/ out the bother of hiring coaches, scouts etc. and you like it to be easy, this is your game! Try it out, you may fall in love. I recommend this game to any new text based baseball game, then when you are ready to move up go try something else. Great starting point for players!

Summary: Well worth it
Review: While Baseball Mogul is not perfect, I have logged dozens of hours as a general manager. In fact, I am in the 75% through a campaign to win the World Series with every team in the league and (in homage to Wowbanger the Infinitely Prolonged from Hitchhiker's Guide) in alphabetical order. The fun I have had with this game is particularly suprising since I haven't followed baseball since the strike.
In Baseball Mogul you do not play baseball, you do not coach baseball, you play the general manager. Each season runs by in as little as a minute or two, then you make trades and grab free agents and dump overpaid "stars" to keep you budget in line. This game turns Moneyball into reality: your job is to send the best team you can afford out onto the field.
The interface can seem clunky in some places until you get used to it, and the game is certainly not perfect. However, at this price you will certainly get your money's worth from the game.
Hint - every year grab a bunch of younger relievers, sign them for two years at about 700k-1.2m, and trade them for cash or players the following year. You can trade 3-4 of them for a top notch player, or far more cash than you paid them, and heck, they did pitch for you for a year. Also, never scrimp on scouting, always be first in spending or very nearly first if you cannot afford to outspend every other team.
Highly recommended.
