Player's Club: MLB Front Office Manager review
As a baseball simulation, MLB Front Office Manager should aim to do one thing: replicate the experience of managing a major league baseball franchise as realistically as possible. Oops.

Apparently the M in MLB stands for menus. That’s my take-away from MLB Front Office Manager, at least. The game’s a great idea strongly undermined by indifferent execution. I'm a crazy baseball fan, with an all-consuming obsession for both real and fantasy baseball. I’m so single-minded during baseball season that my amazingly patient wife can now talk about park effects and VORP and ERA+ like a hardened sabermetrician. She’s convinced my irrational anti-Jeff Francouer ranting is going to give me an aneurysm some day. I'm passionate about baseball, so I was both excited for and disappointed by MLB Front Office Manager.
