Improved League Builder, Exhibition Mode

3/31/2026

I spent some time in the off-season playing around with the League Builder and Exhibition Mode and making some improvements:

1) I fixed some issues with putting the same player on multiple teams. If you put the 1918 Red Sox and 1927 Yankees in the same league, each team will now have their own version of Babe Ruth with the correct stats and ratings for that point in his career.

2) Team rosters now include everyone who played for that team in that season. Last year's game only included opening day rosters, meaning that Nomar Garciaparra was on the 2004 Red Sox but missing from the 2004 Cubs. A lot of people use Exhibition Mode to do World Series replays — so it's important to have access to players who joined teams in the middle of the season.

3) The Scouting Report now has lines for 'Actual' and 'Sim' — right next to each other to make it easy to compare.

I was very pleased to see that the issues of players on multiple teams was solved in "League Builder" mode.

There were a couple things I wanted to do with that. One was a "best of" league. That is pick what I thought was the best team for each MLB franchise....so, for example, I could have the Murderers Row 1927 Yankees in a one of Bob Feller's Cleveland teams (probably the 1946 team), the 1941 Red Sox, the 1919 Black Sox, etc.

The other was to have 8-team "Best of the Decade" leagues, or maybe form an 8-team league out of a 20 year stretch and see how Seaver, Koosman and the Mets would fare against the '61 Yankees, '75 Red Sox, either the '60 or '79 Pirates.

When I tried doing that, I found the only workaround was to create duplicate players...that is if I had the '61 Yankees and '62 Giants, and I want to include the '68 Cards, I'd have to create both Orlando Cepeda and Roger Maris for the St. Louis team. And then I would also have to do the same for player that came to a team part way through the season.

I'm going to purchase the 2026 edition in the next few days, and will be anxious to put together such a league. What can I say, at my age, it doesn't take a whole lot to get excited.

Anyway, thank you for putting the work in to make those improvements to your game. Baseball Mogul is to me now what Strat-O-Matic was when I was growing up inthe 60s and 70s.
