2K Sports announced today that they will be publishing MLB Front Office Manager. The game will allow players to perform trades, signings and releases like a real-life baseball GM, taking a team from spring training through the World Series. Oakland Athletics' GM Billy Beane will offer advice to players in the game.
"If you have ever dreamed of running your team or thought you could do a much better job than the actual general managers out there then you'll love MLB Front Office Manager," said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development at 2K. "Baseball fanatics can now be in the general manager's chair and see what it's like to really try to build a World Series winning team."
"From negotiating trades to scouting new talent, MLB Front Office Manager has all the complexity and realism I could hope for in a game that is simulating what it means to be a Major League Baseball manager," said Oakland Athletics' General Manager Billy Beane. "I'm excited to be a part of a game that gives people a real world experience at what it's like to be in my shoes and take on the responsibility of building a Major League Baseball team."
MLB Front Office Manager will release on PS3, PC and Xbox 360 during late 2008, around the time that baseball's "hot stove" begins to heat up.
