MLB Front Office Manager (Playstation 3, 2009)

This game is pretty good. I believe that almost everyone will enjoy this game.

I would recommend this game to almost anyone.

Working for the Quakes and aspiring to one day be a GM of a Major League club is what prompted me to give this game a shot. Let me start off by saying that by no means is this game perfect, but it is a really fun game. I can def. see where this game gets bad reviews, but as far as running the organization goes, its just flat out entertaining.

You start off by selecting the team you wish to control throughout your career. You begin during the 2008 off-season and must negotiate with players who are eligble for free agency, arbitration, etc. It is very important to stay within your budget, especially when dealing with 6 clubs (your MLB, AAA, AA, A+, A, SS teams). You must keep track of your 40 man roster, protect top players who are eligible for the Rule 5 draft, offer arbitration, give player signing bonuses, and even offer players incentive bonuses for performing well.

All the rules regarding personnel moves are present: super 2's, rule 5, type A/B free agents, and much more. People rate this game low becauase of the simulation stats. Too many players hit .400 during the season, the Reds won 22 games (not a typo), and a few other bugs. However, if you can somehow get past this, it is def. a worthwhile game and would recommend it to anyone who is on the fence of purchasing this game.

There is nothing more rewarding than selecting a bottom dweller team like the Nationals and stockpiling their minor league organization with quality prospects in order to set the foundation for them to compete in the future. After having 4 straight 100+ loss seasons, I was able to finally hit .500 in year 5 after trading high salaried guys for prospects, importing japanese stars, and having successful amateur drafts all while operating with a strict budget.

This game gets an 8/10.

Highly suggest buying this for your kids if you into a fun action packed game for your kids.
Adults can even enjoy this game.
Hours and hours of fun for the whole family.
Keeps the kids busy for hours on end when you go on vacation.
This game made it so that I didn't even know my kids were in the back seat on a 19 hour drive on vacation.

I'm just not impressed with this game.

The bright side thus far is that I've been able to learn a lot more about baseball with the Rule 5 draft and things like that which usually are considered very minimally.

But the negatives outweigh that. Once a pitcher is committed to a strategy, you're stuck. If you've chosen to pitch to a player, you can't go to a pick off move, a pitch out, or anything of the sort. It's incredibly slow and boring to watch the simulating games. The menus are PAINFULLY confusing. You get in-game messages about upcoming events, but you're not linked to the screens to handle the events; you're forced to explore to find it all in the labyrinth of menu confusion.

There are lots of issues I have with this game, and honestly, I'm probably not playing it again. It's a rent game, not a purchase game. Save yourself the expense of ownership and hit up your local rental joint if you're really curious.

I was pretty skeptical of this site until a friend of mine received his free PS3 in the mail. Its easy to do and all you need to do is find 8-10 people who want a free PS3
Have a look at this video first:

do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you

For any baseball fan this is the perfect buy. It gives you the opertunity to be the GM of any team in the major leagues. You tak control of all six teams in the organization (MLB, AAA, AA, A+, A and SS) something that no other game has ever done befor. It takes you much further into the job of a GM than MLB 09 The Show's Franchise modes. It also has both drafts the first year player draft and the Rule 5 draft.

You also can bid on Japanesse free agents to find the next Ichiro. Something that no other game has ever done.

It is simple enough for young children to play and entertainning enough to keep aduldts happy too.
