WELCOME TO BASEBALL MOGUL ONLINE
In Baseball Mogul Online, you assume the role
of both General Manager and Manager for a professional baseball team of your
choice. You start on Opening Day with complete rosters (and minor league
prospects) for a major league team.
In your role as Manager, you set the starting defense, batting order and pitching
rotation for your team. You choose who stays in the big leagues, who gets sent
down to the minors, and who gets released altogether. As General Manager, you
craft complex trades and sign multi-million dollar players, competing with artificially
intelligent player agents and general managers. You also get to control all
the finances of your team, from setting the price of a ticket to allocating
funds to your farm system, scouts and medical staff.
PLAYING THE GAME
Like a regular baseball season, Baseball Mogul Online progresses with each day. However, unlike real-life, a Baseball Mogul leagues moves forward at a pace of between 10 and 60 games each and every day. You can experience an entire baseball season in as little as one week. If your team misses the playoffs, you only have to wait a few days before you can bid on free agents and prepare your team for the next season.
As games are simulated, you interact with your team in a number of ways:
Team Menu
The Team menu lets you alter your lineup, pitching roster, defensive roster, as well as viewing other teams' lineups.
Players Menu
The Players menu lets you search for specific players, scout and sign free agents, propose trades with other teams
and check any new inductees to the Player Hall of Fame.
Budget Menu
The Budget menu allows you to control your expenses and revenue. The Tickets Page lets you choose what price
to charge for tickets, and the Broadcast Page sets what broadcast rights you'd prefer for your team. The Expenses
Page lets you set your scouting, farm system and medical expenses, and see how you rank among the other teams.
The Headlines screen
gives you highlights from selected games in a newspaper style format.
The Standings screen provides information that relates
to the scope of the entire team. On this screen you can watch your team rise
and fall through the course of a season.
The Leaders screen lets you know how your players
are measuring up individually against all other players. Click on any player
name to see his or her scouting report. Click on the header buttons to change
the leader lists shown.
The Finances screen is a particularly important screen,
as Baseball Mogul requires you to remain economically viable while working your way toward
the championship games. Compare your financial information to other teams here.
