Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the company that developed "Baseball Mogul" before they became Sports Mogul?

Answer: Infinite Monkey Systems

Maxis was the creator of the "Sim" franchise pioneered by Will Wright before it was taken over by Electronic Arts. Infinite Monkey Systems name came from the infinite monkey theorem, that an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters could eventually produce the entire written works of William Shakespeare.

The first three "Baseball Mogul" games were developed by "Infinite Monkey Systems".

2. "Baseball Mogul" had a game for practically every year since 1999. What was the one year missing from their lineup?

Answer: 2001

3. What is the name of the main competitor for "Baseball Mogul" and their stat-driven game play?

Answer: "Out of the Park Baseball"

"Championship League Baseball" does not exist, "Championship League Soccer" however is a similar game for soccer players in Europe. "Out of the Park Baseball" or "Season Ticket Baseball" for several versions, is a similar game to "Baseball Mogul", though it tends to be more processor heavy and detailed.

4. Who is the creator of the "Baseball Mogul" series?

Answer: Clay Dreslough

"Nate Silver" is a well-known political blogger and the inventor of the PECOTA system for analyzing baseball players and their development. Clay, along with his wife Dee and a few others, work on Sports Mogul products.

9. What is the maximum number of games per team per season that "Baseball Mogul" allows per season (not counting tiebreakers)?

Answer: 162

While it is possible to go lower than 162, "Baseball Mogul" does not allow a player to force the game to add more games per season. It is possible for a team to go above 162 games played due to tiebreakers, or for players to do so due to being traded to a team that has played fewer games than the team they came from.

10. Which of the following features was introduced in "Baseball Mogul 2012"?

Answer: The stats Batting Runs (BR), Batting Wins (BW), and Wins Above Replacement (WAR)

Inflation, Amateur Draft, and Injury Contingency were all added in prior "Baseball Mogul" incarnations. The stats BR, BW, and WAR were added with "Baseball Mogul 2012" to allow more sabermetric stats to be accessible to players.
