Our take on Baseball Mogul 2018
The focus on long-term franchise management comes at the cost of a match-first structure. Roster building, finances, and player development span simulated seasons, while the option to advance weeks or months means not every day needs to be played individually.
What is Baseball Mogul 2018?
Baseball Mogul 2018 puts the player in charge of a baseball franchise.
Start in any year from 1900 to the present with a favorite team's roster or a fictional team. Management includes trades, multi-year contracts, ticket and concession prices, broadcast rights, payroll, scouting, medical staff, and farm-system budgets. The amateur draft offers high school and college prospects for immediate use or minor-league development. Set defensive assignments, batting order, and pitching rotation, then choose between occasional dugout decisions and controlling individual pitches and baserunning choices. Games draw on player ratings and more than 100 years of historical data. Seasons can progress day by day or in larger simulated periods, while player abilities change with age.
