I think you said you'd pay $200.00 for it!

At least!

I've always been interested in a Basketball sim game, so I'll go with Basketball Mogul.

I haven't played BM 2006 yet so I don't know if it needs major work. Football does need some major work. Down the line however I would like to see basketball mogul and then possibly much later on hockey mogul. Personally, if you decided to go a different direction than sports I would lose interest. The tycoon series is already available for people who want to push non-sports titles they would like to see. Stay with your strength, sports.

Stay with your strength, baseball.

personally I think soccer would be a greater business opportunity for Sports Mogul. Hockey is definitely limited, basketball might be good, but soccer could potentially globalize Sports Mogul's opportunities. Hook up with the good people from Hattrick and I know it'd be a winner.

This is a very interesting thread. So many different opinions.

Baseball Mogul is our core product and we will continue to put a lot of energy into that. The #1 reason I posted this poll was to see where demand stood for football, hockey and hoops.

It's very interesting to see that Basketball Mogul has a big lead among those 3 (it's also the game I'm most excited to make -- I haven't been a hockey fan since the 1980s Bruins).

for a basketball sim, i would love to see a NCAA basketball sim..not an NBA. I would love to be the coach, and recruit players, and try to win NCAA tour.....also, the more you win, the more money you get....and the more happy your school admins are....In a NCAA sim, It would have to be a mix between a coach and Adminastrater.

(pardon my spelling )

I like boomboom's idea about the Baskeball game being NCAA. Personally, either one would be very cool but I see where he is coming from and it makes a lot of sense and it sounds more fun.

I think you should create either basketball or hockey mogul, and yes if basketball make it NCAA . By making a new mogul you will draw more attention to the site, if someone searches for a good basketball or hockey sim and they find it here then they may be intrigued to buy baseball or football mogul also and it isnt like you will lose sales on baseball mogul, because every1 already loves that game.

The only problem with an NCAA-based game is licensing, which I guess could be averted by creating a database of fictional colleges. But a Basketball Mogul would be worth a buy for me.

Personally I'd like to see Football Mogul overhauled in this fashion - with college teams and conferences, the bowl games, etc. I'd gladly pony up some dough for that, though not the $200 Mickey would for what he'd like.

Another thing I'd like is to really beef up the customization options in Baseball Mogul, particularly league sizes, divisional alignments, schedules, etc. Maybe its something that was addressed in 2K6, but I wouldn't mind having the option of splitting the NL into 4 divisions of 4 teams, for instance; or having the AL with 2 divisions of 7 teams and the NL with 3 divisions, etc.

The pro version of Football Mogul? Yeah, I gotta go with those who say that's a dead horse. Though I wouldn't say I'll never buy another SMI product again (I would, and in fact probably will at some point buy BBM2K6 for instance), I was burned badly enough on Football Mogul that I don't think I've bought anything since.

Hockey for me I'd like a chance to see where Neely may have ended up if he'd seen and levelled Ulf!

Regarding non-sports sims, I think a good restaurant simulation game would be interesting. Sort of like Pizza Tycoon, but not restricted to pizza. The ideas sim would allow you to choose the restaurant type (italian, chinese, ect..), set the menu, hire staff, ect...
