GAME MENU
The Game Menu gives you access to
the following features:
Save
Game Dialog
This Save Game Dialog lets you save your current game to your hard
drive. Type in the filename you would like to use (or use the one
suggested to you) and click 'Save'. This creates a file in the top
level directory for Baseball Mogul (the same place where the executable,
e.g. BB2K12.EXE, is located). Saved games require between 1M and 6M each,
depending on how long you've played.
There are 3 formats for saving game files:
1) "Compressed". The default format. This takes up the least space on your hard drive, but is impossible to edit with an application other than Baseball Mogul.
2) "Uncompressed". Requires more hard drive space, but will save more quickly on some computers. Theoretically, someone could use a hex editor to read data hidden in an uncompressed saved game file.
3) "Text". Saves the entire baseball universe as a set of ".csv" files. This format allows people to view (and edit) all variables that constitute the Baseball Mogul saved game.
Resume
Game Dialog
The Resume Game Dialog gives access to all game files you have previously
saved. It displays all the saved games you have to choose from,
and by double-clicking on one of the names, you'll restart that
game. Or, you can highlight the file name it and click 'Resume'.
There is also an option to delete a saved game to free up space
on your hard drive. Highlight the game you want to delete, and hit
the delete button on the right side of the dialog.
Mogul
Hall Of Fame
This screen shows the best Baseball Moguls of all time: from 1900
through the 21st century teams that you manage. If you score high
enough, you can be listed here.
- Name:
The name of the General Manager (or Manager) that controlled the
team during this time.
- Team:
The name of the team.
- Years:
The consecutive range of time over which the Mogul Rating was
earned.
- Difficulty:
The difficulty level
of the game where the Rating was achieved.
When you've gotten your Mogul
Rating high enough to place
you in the Mogul Hall of Fame, you can Retire yourself using the
Retire Mogul feature in the Game Menu. If your score isn't high
enough to place you, the system will let you know. You can then
choose to continue improving your score, or retire anyway.
Retire
Mogul
Retire Mogul ends your game and, if your score is high enough, records
your Mogul Rating in the Mogul Hall Of Fame (for your difficulty
level). The game will let you know if retiring with your current
mogul score will place you in the Mogul Hall of Fame, and if it's
too low, you can return to your game and continue to work on it.
You can view your Mogul Rating on the Financial
Pages. Simply click one of the column headers and select 'Mogul
Rating'. You can also view the Mogul Ratings of other computer managers.
