Season Ticket Baseball Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For hardcore simulation fans who also love Americas favorite pastime, Season Ticket Baseball is a must have. The game takes away the arcade game play that other titles bring to the table and replaces it with the day to day realism that a manager faces in the big leagues.
The game career mode is an endless amount of fun as you start your franchise by first picking a city, then using your yearly payroll to first hire your staff. Including a hitting coach, pitching coach and manager. But your staff also doesn't stop there. The minors are also a big part of your organization so you will also have to hire managers for your AAA, AA and A teams as well as a head scout. What's so great about the game is you just can't pick a manager. You have to actually offer a contract based on a yearly salary and length of service of your choice. You must choose wisely because other teams can be making offers to the same guys. The list of people to choose from is endless, each with their own characteristics that will effect your franchise and amount of success. Once you have your staff in place its time to draft your team for its first year of establishment. (If you don't want to draft you can use a default team or let the computer draft for you.) Players will have a starting salary and a contract length that you will have to agree too if you sign them. Once your team is ready it's time to start the season. As the manager you will sit on the bench and get to see what it's like to be a big league manager. Your decisions besides making the starting lineup and pitching rotation, will be positioning the defense as well as deciding when to steal, bunt, hit and run or even weather you want you pitcher to go right at a guy or pitch around him. Bottom line is you're in control for the complete game. (You may also simulate the game if you don't have the patience to micro manage it.)
What makes the game even better is once the day is over, you go from the bench to the office running the day to day operations as the GM. You'll have to deal with contract negotiations, trades and even the financials by setting ticket prices.
Bottom line is I can sit here and talk about it forever, which is actually what my buddies and me find us doing. The only aspect that might turn a couple of people off is the fact that real player's names are not used. However, I find this a plus because it gives it a lasting appeal.
