Genre and what to do:
Sports game. The game places you in charge of managing a professional baseball franchise with a level of control and complexity. Former player and current Oakland As general manager, Billy Beane served as a consultant on the development of the game to ensure as authentic a GM experience as possible. Your employment as GM begins with the typical character creation features. In addition to aesthetics, though, FOM allows you to assign points to various disciplines such as scouting and player negotiation, and even allows you to select from a number of backgrounds such as a lawyer, former player, or talent scout. As you continue your career, success as a GM you can earn you points to further increase your disciplines. Bad decisions make the ruins. Of course, with 29 other teams to ruin, chances are that another franchise will offer you a second chance.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Game features a brand-new engine designed to create a simulation realistic enough to satisfy even hardcore fantasy baseball enthusiasts. The game includes multiple levels of player arbitration and even includes a "Japan bidding" phase where franchise can bid for the right to negotiate with some of Japan's top talents. In addition to an offline career spanning 30 seasons, you can even pit your GM skills online against up to 29 other players in an online dynasty. The graphics brings some new emotions. Everything is very realistic, that sometimes you can forget where you are on the chair or on the field. The sound system is completed in a best way too. Just remember that to manage baseball team, you shouldn.t be a great player, you should be a great manager.
