	The latest OXM has the first review for MLB Front Office Manager. They gave it a 5/10 citing awful menus and a worthless manager mode though they did state the game was very in depth. Thanks to Jesse Behr from The ‘Burgh Blues for sending the tip in.

This score surprises me. PastePadre's right though-- 2K should be sending this game out to sports community sites like OS. The mainstream reviewers might not appreciate the level of detail this game has.

Looks like its destined for the bargin bin.

OliDegu2008 · 01-04-2009, 03:36 PM

Sounds about right, especially with the comparison to NFL Head Coach 09

BoKnowsBest · 01-04-2009, 04:22 PM

well HC09 is one of the best games ive ever played, and it got crappy reviews. 99% of reviews out there for all games are pure BS anyways. overhyped games will always get high scores(madden, cod, etc) while most sleeper games do bad.

im still getting this game.

This review sounds accurate to me. After all, it's a 2K baseball game....

The only good reviews to read about this game would come from a hardcore text-sim player.

Most game sites don't have reviewers interested in that genre and they'll hate the title. I'll wait to see what OS players have to say, or what I read in OOTP, or from Ben here at OS.

Much more interested in what OS people say. I'm getting it for PC, so the problems with xbox stuff is unimportant for me.

Personally, I would not consider this game on the PC over the stellar OoTP series. You would have to be insane to consider that notion. Especially in it's first year, from a company that has yet to nail baseball this generation of gaming consoles.

That is not to say I obviously wouldn't be open to the reviews and seeing how it compares (as a baseball fan standpoint), but would be far from disappointed, knowing the king of text sims is still alive and kicking.
