OBJECT OF THE GAMEThe main goal of Baseball Mogul is to have fun. You can do this by playing ten seasons in one night, or by simming one day at a time and micromanaging your team. Along the way, you will be given a Mogul Rating; although you must successfully juggle the financial aspects of your team in order to succeed, your Mogul Rating is based entirely on your team's performance on the field. The Mogul Rating equals the percentage of
games that your team won plus a playoff bonus (up to +30.0, for a
team that is World Champion in every year). For example, a team that wins 63.3% of their games and wins the World Series every year would have a Mogul Rating of 93.3 (63.3 + 30.0). Finally, a penalty is applied if you retire before playing ten (10) seasons. So, you must have more than a few good years to earn an excellent Mogul Rating; you must build a successful dynasty that is capable of supporting itself financially. To see how you compare to historical baseball managers, go the Mogul Hall Of Fame screen (on the File Menu). An average team will have a Mogul Rating of about 50. Any score above 75 is excellent. Earning the #1 spot on the "Mogul" Difficulty Level is a rare achievement. Note: For Mogul careers of 100 years or more, only the most recent 99 seasons are used to calculate the Mogul Rating. |
