Our take on Baseball Mogul 2017
Its defining structure is the choice of management scale: a season can be handled through front-office decisions, individual pitches, or anything between those two levels.
What is Baseball Mogul 2017?
Run a baseball franchise as general manager across seasons from 1900 to the present day, using a real or fictional team.
Build rosters through trades, multi-year contracts, amateur drafts, and minor-league development. Set ticket and concession prices, sell broadcast rights, and allocate budgets for payroll, scouting, medical staff, and the farm system. Prepare defensive alignments, batting orders, and pitching rotations, then choose between directing games from the front office or controlling individual pitches and plays. The simulation covers historical and modern leagues, player aging, injuries, health, standings, finances, news, and computer-managed opponents. Seasons can advance one day at a time or in larger stretches, supporting careers that span virtual years or decades.
