Looks sweet, I always hoped they would make one like this but I never thought that they would.

I'm not sure exactly when it's out as it says preorder, though I heard it may be soon (Feb 2nd).

[anabiono]

it says the 26th on that site...

 

weird

 

since this thing is a DVDrom, will it have to be run directly from the disc or can you load it onto your machine?

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm curious how this will compare to OOTP, but I don't expect anywhere near the same features.

[Clem Fandango]

initial reviews say it's terrible

[Pushfrog98]

i'm sticking with baseball mogul...

[Bote McBoteface]

Yeah I think it got like a 3.5 out of 10 or something close to that.

[TruffleShuffle]

Yikes I was planning on getting this.

Leave it to 2KSports to figure out how to successfully ruin a game where the only thing you have to do is navigate through menus.

 

An amateur programmer who picked up a Dummies book from Barnes and Nobel should be able to create a game where all you do is click buttons, yet the geniuses at 2K couldn't figure out how to do that it seems

I just bought it today.

 

They need it to be like the Show where you can work your way up the Front office ladder from say an area scout to GM.

What do you think of it? I planned on getting it, but after the reviews I've seen I'm not so sure.

I don't have the right graphics card for the damn thing, so I couldn't tell you. I'm returning it, likely for the baseball mogul 2009.

[RammyFanny]

I bought it, didni't have a graphics card (for PC), and then went and bought a graphics card (since I can probably use it for other games if I want). Now i'm trying to find out how to install the damn thing, if anyone can help me tell me.

How much was the card?

[RammyFanny]

79$, though I wanted to buy one anyways eventually.

 

Problem is, it turns out I bought a card that is too big for the slots on my computer. Now, i'm stuck with an opened box that i'm sure they won't want to return. You think I stand a chance of returning it if I make it look pretty again?

I can't think of a place that wouldn't take it back.

[Clem Fandango]

You guys are telling me that a computer game revolved around clicking on menus required you to change your entire video card? WTF is that S about?

 

Get Baseball Mogul and be done with it

[RammyFanny]

I think I am going to get Mogul.

 

And yes, Best Buy will take my graphics card back. I was under the impression they wouldn't take anything opened, but that is only for games and cd's and things.

 

I'll probably find this out before anyone answers, but is modul more of a managing thing or does it have things like scouting, and the draft, and FA etc?

 

PS: I'm thinking about giving the PC game away for free as a little random contest on NSBB for those whose computers can support it.

[RammyFanny]

I actually might wait a couple months for 2010 of baseball mogul, from my early reading i'm hearing that it will have alot of changes "for the better".

[Twiggy]

I'm staying far away from this game.

That would probably be best. As far as gameplay in 09 is concerned, they do have a draft and scouting, but it's not that impressive. The scouting management in The Show is better, to be honest, because it's more in depth. In Mogul all you do is set a budget for scouting and be done with it. Scouting scores only show up in the draft, which is just a window with names and categories next to them.

 

But the thing I love about it is the stat tracking. There's truckloads of stats to choose from on the leaderboards and if you output the encylopedia then you can have a historical representation of every major league record and stats for almost every major league player in history, including the fake ones that show up after 2008. It's great.

 

If you're a stat head, the game is great, if you're into scouting and the draft and looking for deep management involving that, you won't be impressed. The game is addicting though, and very very fun

I just got BM2k9 and so far I'm liking it. I didn't realize 10 was coming out soon. Oh well... i'll probably just procure it in the same manner.
