    An obtuse interface makes MLB Front Office Manager bewildering even to baseball-sim veterans.

    Baseball text simmers have dreamed for a game like this for years, but if you want to be taken seriously by the sim crowd you need to do a better job of simulating the sport – otherwise it’s simply not worth the time and money.

    The nuts and bolts of gameplay are apocalyptic failures, but the awfulness doesn't stop there. Managing games is utterly pointless. [Feb 2009, p.85]

    To say MLB Front Office Manager was a good attempt at a console management simulation is like spitting on your dirty dishes and saying they’re washed.

    MLB Front Office Manager is a game with a lot of potential, as demonstrated by the thoughtful inclusions of thirty-player online leagues and a fantasy league. However, its admittedly slick interface is maddening in terms of design, resulting in a game that's extremely hard to play because it takes far too much effort just to accomplish one simple thing, quickly sapping you of the will to continue.

    If you're not a die-hard baseball fan with years of knowledge on its rules and practices, you'll more than likely be lost extremely quickly, wondering when it will end.

I'm not sure they did one thing even ok, there is probably 15-20 major fixes that need to be addressed. Maybe they will put some effort into it for next year because i think there is a market for this stuff. The franchise mode in the show is way better than this piece of crap.… Full Review »

    I'm a baseball fan, and based on the reviews here, I didn't expect a great, or even a good game. But I was surprised by a failure on so many levels: design, programming, and artistic. No offense to any of the people who probably worked quite hard to make this with little time and little budget, but at some point you have to look at the result and go, why bother?    … Full Review »
