Now you can follow the path of the ball on screen, with the correct underlying physics. From the effects of weather and friction to the correct spin on each pitch, Baseball Mogul continues to give you the most realistic results possible, backed by a real-world physics model.

From Gaylord Perry’s spitball to Daisuke Matsuzaka’s “Gyroball”, Baseball Mogul 2008 is the most complete baseball simulation you can buy.
- Animated Play-By-Play – In-game Manager Mode lets you call plays and make substitutions as if you were in the dugout. Or retire to the owner’s box and let your coaches and players control the action. It’s up to you!
- Pitch-By-Pitch Mode – Fully interactive pitch-by-pitch mode puts you in complete control of the game. Graphical batting and pitching interface gives you pinpoint control over each pitch. Brush back the batter with an inside fastball, then put him away with a splitter in the dirt.
