You are the Manager of a bunch of guys of different weight classes and degrees of skill/experience and you choose who they fight and where/when they train. You negotiate contracts with the fighter, promoter, gym, and all the other stuff. The only problem I could think of would be that interest in the sport isn't where it used to be.

Would anyone else play this?

How about sports agent mogul. You scout and promote your guys and try to get them your deals to make you money but still attract new guys to want you to be their agent.

I would like to see the Baseball Mogul have an option to build a dream team or teams with players from any seasons. Then have the sim pick the remaining teams and players and see how your dream team does.

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.

Sounds like someone is completely unawares of the games Football Manager and Championship Manager. Breaking this market would be impossibly hard and rather futile.

Yeah, dont forget Total Club Manager by our good friends at EA. Soccer would be far far far too complex for a Mogul version unless you stuck strictly with MLS or something.

Agent mogul sounds fun, kind of like Rockstar Tycoon where you took a band from a garage to the top. Who wants to be the next Scott Boras or David Sloane?

What about Government Mogul or Mayor Mogul? Take a small town and grow it. Recruit businesses (except Walmart) and encourage people to stay and raise families. Find the razor thin balance between raising taxes and having enough social services to keep your people happy. Just a wild thought from a power hungry guy lol

If you are to overhaul here are a few dynamics.

1. Leaders is always fun, I would love to see this expand. Longevity is breaking records, single season and career. For a team and for the league.

2. More control of positions. Babe ruth changed from a pitcher to a feilder. Would like to see this option return where a pitcher can hit and a fielder could pitch.

3. Control. I like to have control of every game sim at times. To have more sacrifice bunts and flies. call more steels, and set my reliever to save a game earlier so he gets more saves. To have the in game sim where you can have more control would be nice.

4. More control of rotations and relief pitchers. Having your setup middle and closer play more tight games, while the rest are there for blow out games. I have noticed saves from a number of other players and would like to see my relievers have a little more endurance from a day to day stand point, if you bring them in for 1 innning you could do that for 10 games straight if your an animal, type of situation.

i am sure that if we put this poll in the BMO league forums, that a complete overhaul for BMO would be #1.

most people from BMO never check the forums outside of there own leagues...
