The cover art for MLB Front Office Manager is now out as well as the official feature list. As to the features for the most part they have been discussed through the various interviews and previews out so far and the Online Fantasy Leagues remain especially intriguing. While I was expecting to see Billy Beane incorporated into the cover instead they went the direction of a silhouette, with the implication of course being that you are now the GM.

I'm excited about the "never-before-seen presentation style designed to resemble a real life TV broadcast." Depending on how this looks, I could get the game based solely on that.

Looks like a good game. I'll end up getting it instead of MLB 2K9 because 2K8 was one of the worst sports games I've played for a next-gen console.

I'm looking forward to the online fantasy leagues. I've already pre-ordered it. At only $39.99, it could be a good deal.

And I'll definitely run one for the site if everything works as it should. This could be a really fun thing to take part in with a large group of dedicated people.

Baseball is a sport that just fits in the simulation world. I still miss playing Statis-Pro Baseball by Avalon Hill on the Commodore 64. The graphics were the bare minimum but the stats were sick…Could play a game in 15 minutes….

This is why I hate 2k. None of this stuff will be in MLB 2k9 and yet for years we keep hearing about these supposed updates. How about you idiots make a decent baseball game instead of making 90 different baseball games

Yep. It was extremely frustrating. On rookie I would still give up 3 or 4 runs.

Now that I am once again an XBox 360 owner, I'm looking forward to this one. Like others have said, I might just get this one instead of MLB 2K9 depending on how fun it is. It sounds pretty good so far, and the Pasta Padre online fantasy league sounds like a fun thing as well.

I'd love to take part in something Bryan, if you choose to do so. If people are dedicated to it and it turns out to become a big thing, I'd be happy to have it as a feature on my blog and upcoming website.

now this IMO looks alot more fun than 2k9, mainly becuase i enjoy the stuff GM's do, dont now why though, lol, but either way, i'm gonna try to get all the baseball games this year, this game, 2k9, mlb 09: the show, and mlb power pros 2009, all great game, though i really hope 2k9 will be alot better than last year, becuase that one was very terrible, graphics great, everything else, bad, but yeah, i like the fact that you can get players from other contrys, like japan, or maybe scout the next greg maddux or randy johnson or something, its interesting, so i will be getting this game come tuesday
