WELCOME TO
Baseball Mogul 2023
Baseball Mogul 2023®
is the 26th edition of the award-winning baseball
simulation that puts you in complete control of any
professional baseball team. Baseball Mogul is the
baseball game for fans who want their success on the
field determined by their strategy, not their reflexes.
Begin in any year you choose, from 1901 to 2023, with
the full roster of your favorite team -- or an entirely
fictional team of your own creation. Negotiate trades
and sign free agents to build a dynasty.
Baseball Mogul also gives you complete control
on the field: the most realistic baseball simulation you
can buy, combined with an easy-to-learn interface and
thousands of stats at your fingertips. With customized
ratings and head-to-head stats for every player, you
have everything you need to win the battle of wits
between batter and pitcher.

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 new
game options 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 team and enter 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
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. Play Games
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.
Regardless of when
it is during the year, you should always come back to
the Play Menu when you are ready to move forward on
the calendar.
To play games live,
in either "Play-By-Play"
or "Pitch-By-Pitch" mode,
you need to first click on the game you want to play in
the Calendar Screen. Then
use the Play Menu to advance the season to that game.

4. Check The Results
Each of the News Screens
gives different information about your team and others
in both leagues.
News Menu
The Calendar
screen shows any month with one click, and lets you
choose which games to enjoy in Play-By-Play
Mode.
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 Finances
screen is a particularly important screen, as Mogul

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.
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 Headlines
screen gives you highlights from selected games in a
newspaper style format.
The Playoffs
screen shows all post-season matchups and results. If
viewed during the season, it shows the playoff picture
given the current standings.
The
Transactions screen lists
all significant events in chronological order. This
includes injuries, awards, contract signings, etc. Click
and hold the buttons at the top of the screen to change
which transactions are listed.
(Note that Transactions are
also shown on the Scouting
Report for each player).
