Baseball Mogul 2018

Baseball Mogul 2018 is a baseball team management game in which you act as a general manager. Start in any year from 1900 to the present with the full roster of your chosen team, or create a fictional team, then build a lineup and compete for the World Series.

Run the front office

Trade players, negotiate multi-year contracts with them and their agents, and compete with other general managers. You also manage the club’s finances: set ticket and concession prices and sell TV broadcast rights to raise revenue, then budget for the farm system, scouts, medical staff and player payroll. Fans can turn fickle if the team fails to win or tickets become too expensive, and poor financial management can leave the club bankrupt.

If your first season does not go well, you can build for the future through the amateur draft, choosing from high school and college prospects around the world. Promising players can join the team right away; others can develop in your minor league franchise.

Manage games

Set your starting defense, batting order and pitching rotation, then choose how closely to manage each game. You can watch from the luxury box and make calls to the dugout, or control individual players by choosing pitches and deciding when to bunt or try for an extra base. A game engine simulates each pitch using customized player ratings and more than 100 years of historical data.

Build over time

Manage one day at a time or have the computer simulate weeks or months, carrying your club through virtual years or decades. Players’ abilities mature and decline as they age, so you need to balance short-term spending on free agents with plans for the long term. Follow both leagues’ standings, your club’s finances and news stories about the teams as you pursue the Championship.
