Link to Hoax Removed

This is Clay Dreslough, creator of Baseball Mogul. I've removed the link to a press release at Gamers Hell that is actually a hoax. It says we sold 1,000 units in our first month: http://www.gamershell.com/companies/sports_mogul/286318.html If you compare this figure to our annual sales data, you will see that it doesn't make any sense. Although we didn't write that press release, we decided the right thing to do in light of that PR nightmare was to still send $1,000 to charity (we wrote a check to OxFam International). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.80.125.22 (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

My Update

I've updated the page, cleaning it up for grammar and trying to fix the tenses and passive voice throughout the piece. I've also tried to remove parts that felt too much like public relations to me, as opposed to an encyclopedia entry. However, I may have missed some things, so if you're familiar with Mogul, please feel free to comment.SGreenwell 05:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I upgraded this to a "Start" class article. I feel it possesses significant information but still needs expansion. it has a picture and releveant external links. :-) Electricbassguy 05:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I added a good chunk of new info. i'll work on adding more, maybe some more pictures soon. Does anyone else have anything to offer. maybe a full description/pictures of PBP mode :-) Electricbassguy 06:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey EBG, it looks good to me! I updated this article from stub status a long time ago, but neglected to take away the tag, so thanks for that. I might make a few grammatical / cosmetic changes at some point, but I probably won't add much in the way of factual information. I haven't had a new version of the game since 2005. I also think you and I are the only people watching this page, since very few edits have been made since mine in May.

If you're looking for another project, Baseball Mogul Online is still unwritten. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but I've never gotten around to it. I'm not sure if you're a fan of that though, or if you've even played it at all. SGreenwell 06:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

What to improve: Add more details about gameplay, more screenshots of comparions between old and new versions... screenshots of different parts of teh game, draft, scouting report. I could try to do some of it. Electricbassguy 01:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Since it has more improvements in the past month or so I have now rated it a B class article. I think that this has a small chance to be Featured if more of us mogul fans work on it!Electricbassguy 20:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

We could probably avoid the spam flag if we just took off the NEW* in the improvements, and maybe list them as propietary features or whatnot. 24.236.147.220 19:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

2008/2007 Descriptions

I refuse to get into a revert war over this, but the 2008 and 2007 descriptions are basically just paraphrases of these two links: http://www.baseballmogul.com/games/baseball2k8-long.html http://www.baseballmogul.com/games/baseball2k7.html Spell4yr (talk) 03:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The "feature lists" need to be converted into prose (see Wikipedia:Embedded list). I'm not particularly interested in doing this myself, but have tagged the article for attention. Marasmusine (talk) 10:16, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Start Class

I believe this should be ranked better than Start. It has improved a lot. Electricbassguy (talk) 16:50, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

2016

I *finally* updated this for 2016. I wouldn't be surprised if Sro23 or one of the robo-editors/admins reverts those changes. I will be updating it for 2017 as well. Personally I prefer Diamond because some bugs in 2016 made it nearly unplayable for me, though most players don't care about that (losing old transaction data with old saves loading in 2016) 2601:647:4581:6437:0:0:0:5555 (talk) 01:08, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
