The latest installment, Baseball Mogul 2007, was released in March of 2006 and the 2008 version was supposed to begin beta testing in December 2006 but has been delayed.

All owners of the 2007 game are involved in the beta-testing through further patch upgrades beyond 9.50 being part of the 2008 Beta Test. The 2007 installment had a closed beta where potential beta testers had to email Davenport and request to be involved in the test. They were rewarded by having their first and last names placed in the names database that pickes random names for fictionally generated rookies, being allowed to keep the final beta of the game for free with no obligation to purchase the full version (though if they did not purchase the game, they would not be able to receive further patches for the 2007 game). and having discounts for subscribing to the online version of the game, Baseball Mogul Online.

Prior to Baseball Mogul 2007, all games were simulated. As of the 2007 version of the game, a play-by-play option has been added for those who want to control every single pitch of the game. You play the role of a general manager/manager/owner running a Major League Baseball team.

Baseball Mogul is a low-budget product compared to games like MVP Baseball, since it relies primarily on text-based menus, but it is popular among baseball fans because of its expansive simulation aspects. In later editions, players have complete control over an entire baseball franchise, and have the ability to set batting lineups, make trades, and set ticket and concession prices.

The game can be purchased at traditional stores or online.

Online Version

There is also a separate online version of the game that allows you to play against other humans via a web interface. In the online version, each player controls one major league team in user-created divisions. Different subscription plans allow players to control more teams. However, the online version of Baseball Mogul is not as advanced as the 2007 installment of Baseball Mogul - Some features are not implemented and scouting reports are not as detailed.

However, the online leagues usually cost money to play. It is possible to play in a \"Free League\" without paying a monthly charge, but such leagues are very inactive and the message boards are virtually dead.

The prices for BMO range anywhere from $4.95 for the Bronze level (one team) to $19.95 per month for Platinum. (twenty teams, three custom)

Those who Beta Tested Baseball Mogul 2007 receive 15% off on Bronze, 25% off on Silver, and 35% off on Gold.

Player-Run Leagues

Additionally, many players choose to run leagues using Baseball Mogul 2007 where each player is given a copy of the saved game and required to post his or her adjustments to their teams on a public forum. This allows for the experience and challenge of human opponents coupled with the full functions of the 2007 version and without the cost of BMO. However, this also is more time-consuming, especially for the commissioners of the leagues, who must put every change into the rosters before running a simulation.
