    I'm glad they made an effort to bring a baseball sim game to consoles but this game is terrible. 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.

    Not just bad, but bad on multiple fronts.

    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    Not just bad, but bad on multiple fronts.

    Unfortunately, it mostly feels like you're being charged $40 for something that offers little beyond what you've seen in previous games' GM and Owner modes. [Feb 2009, p.84]

    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]

    There are a considerable number of issues holding MLB Front Office Manager back. Lack of three-team deals, a mediocre interface, and questionable AI logic are unacceptable even from a new IP. I hope 2K gives Front Office another go next year, because with some fixes to very obvious issues, this could be a great game.
