PLAYING THE GAME
To start a game of Baseball Mogul,
click the 'Start a New Game' button in the Baseball Mogul startup
screen. This will bring up the New Game Dialog. For more information
about the advanced features in Baseball Mogul, check the Advanced
Options section.
1. Set up your game with the New Game Dialog
Select difficulty level: Fan is easiest,
Coach is moderately challenging, Manager is tough, and Mogul is extremely
difficult.
Select your city and entire your team name at the top. Then, add your
name. This will be the name shown if you reach the Mogul Hall of Fame.
Hit 'Play', and the first season schedule will set up.
2. Make changes to your team through the menus
You can control lineups, bullpen, trades, free agents, scouting reports,
and budgets through a series of menus.
Team Menu
The Team menu lets you alter your lineup, pitching roster, defensive roster,
as well as viewing other teams' lineups.
Players Menu
The Players menu lets you search for specific players, scout and sign
free agents, propose trades with other teams and check any new inductees
to the Player Hall of Fame.
Budget Menu
The Budget menu allows you to control your expenses and revenue. The Tickets
Dialog lets you choose what price to charge for tickets, and the Broadcast
Dialog sets what broadcast rights you'd prefer for your team. The Expenses
dialog lets you set your scouting, farm system and medical expenses, and
see how you rank among the other teams.
3. Once you've prepared your team, you
can play a game, or a series of games with the 'Play' option. This allows
you to run a day, week, a month, half a season, or even a whole season
of games in just minutes.
Play Menu
(one
day / one week / one month / half season / entire season)
4. Check results of games through the News Screens
Each of the news screens gives different information about your team and
others in both leagues.
News Menu
The Headlines
screen gives you highlights from selected games in a newspaper style format.
The Standings screen provides information
that relates to the scope of the entire team. On this screen you can watch
your team rise and fall through the course of a season.
The Leaders screen lets you know how your players
are measuring up individually against all other players. Click on any
player name to see his or her scouting report. Click on the header buttons
to change the leader lists shown.
The Finances screen is a particularly important
screen, as Mogul requires you to remain economically viable while working
your way toward the championship games. Compare your financial information
to other teams here. Click on the silver tab buttons to change the data
displayed in each column.
5. Readjust your team through the menus, and play another game, set of
games, or entire season.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 as much as
you want. You can play your game into the next century, and beyond.
