- Where can I find online help files?
- How do I make a screenshot?
- How do I post an attachment (picture/screenshot, mog file, text file, etc.)? How do I post box scores and game recaps (of the text version)?
- What types of attachments can I upload to my post?
bmp, doc, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, mog, pdf, png, psd, txt, zip
- What is a mog?
A mog is a saved game file. It is usually located in the folder that you installed your game in. (Usually c:/Program Files/Sports Mogul/Baseball 2007)
- When is Baseball Mogul released?
There is no official release date, but typically the next version of the game is released sometime in mid to late March. Work on the Beta version of next season's game typically begins in December. Clay ran a (chaotic) public beta prior to releasing Baseball Mogul 2008, but decided to keep work in house for Baseball Mogul 2009. If any public work is going to occur, Clay will make an announcement on the forums.
- What version am I using?
The version number is displayed on the title bar, in the form 11.xx, where xx is a number. Or you can find out by clicking on Help > About Baseball Mogul and it will show you a box with the version at the top, but in a slightly different form: version 11.25 would read Version 11.2.5.0.
- How do I get the most current official version (patch)?
It usually automatically downloads, but can usually get it by going to Help > Check for New Version in the game (if your computer is hooked up to the internet), or by looking in the
Baseball Mogul: Bug Reports forum for a post near the top from Clay Dreslough like
Sticky: Official Patch: Version x.xx, or by going to
Baseball Mogul Patches - Should I use the latest official or unofficial patch?
While the lastest unofficial patch probably fixes some problems or has improvements on the latest official patch, it is strongly recommend that anyone who is new to the game or not experienced in dealing with bugs stick to the OFFICIAL patches. The unofficial patches are only for testing purposes, and may introduce more problems or be unstable. Official patches are usually very stable.
- Where can I see a list of known bugs and technical issues?
- How am I most likely to see the bug that I posted be addressed?
The
Baseball Mogul: Bug Reports forum is different than the other forums located on this message board. Being that it's technical in nature, the requirement's for posting a new thread there are more stringent. In order to keep things as organized as possible, please follow the rules as outlined in the
How to File a Good Bug Report thread.
- I've never heard of this pitch, where do I find out more about it?
- How do I make/edit rosters?
- Where do I find updated rosters?
- How do I run Baseball Mogul on a Netbook (or old computer)?
Baseball Mogul 2010 is designed for screens that are 1024 pixels wide, by 768 pixels high (or larger). If you are running on a smaller screen (most netbooks are only 600 pixels high), then you can change the 'Dialog Size Adjustment' to make the game fit on your screen. In the Tools Menu is a section called 'Options'. Next to 'Dialog Size Adjustment', enter a negative number ('-2' works well for most netbooks). This should allow the interface elements to fit on your screen.

- How does Personality affect gameplay?
- I set my pitching rotation to be 5-man, but my 5th starter never get's used. Why?
In the Team menu, there is a menu item listed for Strategies. This brings up a dialog that presents you with various ways that you can adjust the managerial behavior of your team when you simulate games. In that dialog box, select Pitcher Use Strategies from the drop down list box. On the Pitcher Use screen, if you adjust the slider for "start on short rest" further to the left then your order becomes more strict. Moving the slider to the right causes your pitching rotation to be more mixed, so that the AI will attempt to start your higher rated pitchers more often. Obviously, making your order more strict will cause the AI to start your fifth starter more often.
- What is the save rule?
SAVES FOR RELIEF PITCHERS
From MLB.com, rule 10.20
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets
all three of the following conditions:
- He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
- He is not the winning pitcher; and
- He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or
- He pitches effectively for at least three innings.
No more than one save may be credited in each game.
To clarify, the pitcher, in order to get a save, must meet
all of 1, and
all of 2, and
one of the conditions in 3 (a or b or c)
- Can I add new teams and run an expansion draft?
Currently, there is no way to run an expansion draft for a
newly added team. There have been user-created methods posted to manually conduct such a draft, if you wish to spend the time doing so. One example can be found
in this thread.
