MLB Manager Online Impressions

[RaychelSnr]

MLB Manager Online (www.mlbmanageronline.com) is a new browser-based baseball management game from Sega. And while one might want to categorize it as a “text-sim,” it plays more like a Facebook game without the Facebook. Still, for a “sim-lite,” it’s a fun, addictive and quick way to experience the joy of managing a big league team.

Gameplay

MLB Manager Online reminds me a lot of a card game I played in college called MLB Showdown. In both games -- one paper, one virtual -- you collected player cards, organized a lineup and rotation, and simulated games, all while staying under a “salary cap.”

MLB Manager Online adds a lot to this formula though, too much in fact to mention completely in a single article. Layered on top are training cards, expiring contracts, a morale system and a neighborhood that grows based on your success.

big con: not available to Europeans

I played the beta and really liked it. Of course it's no OOTP but the game is pretty addictive and easy to play.

I'm having a blast with this game... I got lucky and got a CH+1 ticket from the arcade, so im using my CH David Ortiz. Currently only in single A, but I'm in first place by 4 games at 91-16. Anyone else playing and wants to add me to their friends list shoot me a PM We can help each other get some of the albums done.

Yeah, good times. I am not getting the arcade tickets anymore. You used to get one free everyday, which obviously sucked. I liked that as it could help you compete against people that were paying money for tickets.

Agreed. I got lucky with that, it took me a time or two until I figured out when to click to score more tickets.

I have a hard time getting on the site sometimes, dunno if its my new laptop or the site.

I have been playing this game for about a month now and also love it. Do you guys watch any games or just sim them. I just had back surgery and am layed up all day, so this game, with a game every hour helps me get through the day. It really helps with the emersion and attachment to my players.
