Baseball Mogul is a great sim series, and while the 2009 version may not have gotten our highest marks, it remains one of the best sports sim titles you can play. Now the developer is offering free for today only, as they get ready for release of the 2010 version. Not a bad deal? I guess they could pay you to take it, but that’s just being greedy. So go get it—now!
Let’s just clear the air right from the start–Baseball Mogul 2009 is not for the arcade crowd. It’s a stats-loving geek’s dream come true, but it will likely not appeal to most fans of baseball video games. That being said, those that do fall within its target demographic will find a very enjoyable game with a few unfortunate stumbles.
As noted, the Baseball Mogul series is for those who subscribe to Baseball Weekly, or are just really into fantasy baseball leagues. It’s essentially the franchise mode of any console baseball game without the excitement of occasionally stepping up to the plate. Instead, the excitement comes from a well done trade or watching a draft pick make their way from the single A ball all the way to a starting spot in the majors.
