User Rating: 6.5 | Baseball Mogul 2007 PC
By trackerjohn | Review Date:
After laying MVP baseball 2005 last year for endless hours I couldn't wait for an upgraded database or new bersion this year. Unfortunately the database upgrade was accurate as of Dec/2005 and there was no new version coming out. Major League Baseball 2006 doesn't seem to be available for PC's so I decided to give Baseball Mogul 2007 shot. The database for this game was accurate as of early March. The good thing is I was able to go into an excel spreadsheet and update based an transactions after that date. I was also able to add minor league players not already listed.

In playing the game, yes, you can control the budget (pricing, expenditures, etc), you can play individual games without simming them but not to the extent you can with MVP Baseball. MVP was more detailed. In MVP you can add concessions, seating, etc to your stadium. You can control players at bat, and in the field. In baseball Mogul the finances and gameplay are more basic. The thing that bugs me is that every team has the same color uniforms! The least they could have done was include each teams colors.

Another reviewer said that after awhile the most fun is the off season. I also found that to be true. This game takes negotiations a little further than MVP Baseball. Not only can you negotiate a salary but offer team and player options also. When trading you can ofer the other team a player and cash. MVP didn't have a cash option. You can put a player on the trading block and look for specific type players in return by position, veteran, prospects, or just cash.

Overall this game kept me occupied but I still keep looking for updates to MVP Baseball 2005.
