MLB Front Office Manager for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

2K Sports has released the first baseball sim to ever hit the new era consoles.

The Good:

Fantasy players dream. If you're one of those people that end up adjusting rosters and simming seasons more then playing the actual game then you wont be disappointed. This game has extreme depth, bidding on Japanese players, Rule 5 Draft, Arbitration, you name it its pretty much on this game. Creating your GM is cool feature. You can dress and have your GM look they way you want them to, as well as giving them personality traits that can help strengthen your GM's skills. Depending on the moves you make with your roster, you will gain/lose skill points.

The Bad:

Navigating the menus is an extreme bothersome process. Instead of being able to navigate multiple things at once, each thing has its own menu. Instead of being able to pull up your roster and look at the Free Agents at the same time, you have to close everything, open up your roster menu, look at the rosters, close it, then find the FA menu and by that time you forgot who you wanted to sign. The AI is kind of disappointing as well. The more you play the more stupid moves you will see the AI make such as signing Chipper Jones to a 6yr/$40M deal or the Phillies signing Orlando Hudson to have him sit on the bench. GM's also have no motivation in there moves. All Gm's are the same so you wont see a team try and net prospects or go trade frenzy.

Final Note:

For those who thought this was a regular baseball game it is not. This is a complete baseball sim that is centered around becoming a GM and building your team to become a baseball powerhouse. This game has extreme depth but the menu navigation kind of downs all the cool features it has. This game is good for a first time release, but its just not there yet. Hopefully 2K makes another one next year that improves the AI and other problems. If you like Baseball Mogul, OOTP Baseball then you should have fun with this game.
