Pretty Solid Managing Baseball Game,

Fun:

This game is not without some 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 make sure to offer them arbitration so you will get compensation picks if they sign with another team. January 18th is when you put your amount offer for arbitration eligible players and you will find out if you won or lost your case threw email. After all of these processes are done you can pretty much sim it til spring training and then on to start your career. I really do recommend this game if you love stats and are into the arbitration rules & rule 5 this is definitely the game for you especially for the price of it.

The Good -

-Finally a baseball managing game for the console

-Arbitration Rules & Rule 5 Draft

-A long managing career

The Bad -

-Game menus could of been made better.

-It’s hard really to know if you are in the lead in the bidding for a free agent you will get an email saying he got better offers most times he will already sign with another team when you get this email.

-AI can make some very very stupid trades ex: TB David Price for Carl Pavano….. but when a team wants to make a trade with you they look to rip you off as best they can.
