I'm updating this review I think I have given it a bit too high of a score the more I play it the more I am thinking it should be 3 stars. I still think it could be 4 star quality if 2K were to come out with patches to fix the problems it has. If I had a choice between Out Of The Park Baseball or Baseball Mogul on the PC with this game on the console I would much rather play the pc version of OOTP Baseball or Baseball Mogul but this is what we have to work with for the console version I can only hope that 2K will make another one next year that is much better then this years version. This game does have its flaws but I found it very enjoyable. Really is fun having the arbitration rules and the rule 5 draft implemented into the game. This game starts right after the 2008 World Series. First thing you will do is resign your current players and when you go into the payroll screen it will show you what players you have that are type A & B...Read more 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:  Too flawed and disappointing to recommend, By = Fun: This review is from: MLB Front Office Manager (Video Game) Clearly MLB Front Office Manager is 2KSports' answer to rival Electronic Arts' NFL Head Coach game (which really is misnamed, as that game is more like NFL General Manager or NFL General Manager + Head Coach combined). Unfortunately, 2KSports' effort is no where near as good or enjoyable as their rivals is.
I love MLB in general, my own favorite team in particular, and playing video games that give me a chance to control my team in more ways is something that I'd really like. Sadly, MLB Front Office Manager delivers such a frustrating and disappointing experience that I can't recommend it for purchase for anyone that doesn't have a ton of patience and isn't a glutton for punishment. Negotiating with free agents is one of the more frustrating areas as there is no negotiating at all. You make an offer, but then have no feedback as to whether or not the offer is reasonable or not until you get an e-mail saying that the player got better offers and took one of...Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Poor effort almost not worth your time, By = Fun: This review is from: MLB Front Office Manager (Video Game) Is there anything that IS realistic about this game, other than some of the players names? Free Agent negotiations is a joke, there are none. You make an offer, and then the player either signs with you or someone else. Heck, if I'm offering Teixeira 170 million, and boston offers him 175, I expect Boras to call me back looking for more money. Instead, if you don't pony up enough, you've got no shot at signing them, and you've no idea how much is enough.
I've got a fairly solid pitching staff, all highly rated by the games skill evaluation, and all real-world top performers, but they hardly ever win a game, and almost none of them have ERA's under 7. What's the point of evaluating talent and signing players if they don't play like they're supposed to? This is annoying enough to make the game not worth playing at all. Then there's the player management issues. If you put a player on the DL, and bring up someone to take his place, when he comes back from the DL, you've got...Read more |
