GAME MENU
The Game Menu gives you access to
the following features:
Save
Game Dialog
This Save Game Dialog lets you save your current game to your hard
drive. Type in the filename you would like to use (or use the one
suggested to you) and click 'Save'. This creates a file in the top
level directory for Baseball Mogul (the same place where the executable,
BB2K.EXE, is located). Saved games require between 300K and 500K each,
depending on how long you've played.
Uncheck the 'Compress' box to save
games in an uncompressed format -- this will allow for faster saving but will
increase the size of game files to over 4MB. Two other save formats
are also available:
|
2003
Universe.Dat
|
This
will save the game with extension ".dat" for distribution
as a Universe file that can be used to start new games. This
format is slightly smaller because it does not include minor
league prospects that are generated when a new game is started.
|
|
2003
PocketPC
|
This
will save the game in a format compatible with Baseball Mogul
for Pocket PC. This format is smaller because it does not
include year-by-year stats for each player.
|
Resume
Game Dialog
The Resume Game Dialog gives access to all game files you have previously
saved. It displays all the saved games you have to choose from,
and by double-clicking on one of the names, you'll restart that
game. Or, you can highlight the file name it and click 'Resume'.
There is also an option to delete a saved game to free up space
on your hard drive. Highlight the game you want to delete, and hit
the delete button on the right side of the dialog.
Mogul
Hall Of Fame
This screen shows the best Baseball Moguls of all time: from 1900
through the 21st century teams that you manage. If you score high
enough, you can be listed here.
- Name:
The name of the General Manager (or Manager) that controlled the
team during this time
- Team:
The name of the team
- Years:
The consecutive range of time over which the Mogul Rating was
earned
- Difficulty:
The difficulty level
of the game the Rating was achieved in
When you've gotten your Mogul
Rating high enough to place
you in the Mogul Hall of Fame, you can Retire yourself using the
Retire Mogul feature in the Game Menu. If your score isn't high
enough to place you, the system will let you know. You can then
choose to continue improving your score, or retire anyway.
Retire
Mogul
Retire Mogul ends your game and, if your score is high enough, records
your Mogul Rating in the Mogul Hall Of Fame (for your difficulty
level). The game will let you know if retiring with your current
mogul score will place you in the Mogul Hall of Fame, and if it's
too low, you can return to your game and continue to work on it.
You can view your Mogul Rating on the Financial
Pages. Simply click one of the column headers and select 'Mogul
Rating'. You can also view the Mogul Ratings of other computer managers.
Click here for a description of how the Mogul Rating is calculated.
When you retire, if you earned your Mogul Rating without tampering
with the game, and without using any of the Advanced
Game Options, your performance
will be listed in white. If you use Commissioner
Mode or save and resume
your game at any point, your Mogul Rating will be shown in gray.
This doesn't mean you cheated, but it does mean that you may have
used features that gave you an unfair advantage.
