Baseball Manager vs. Other Fantasy Games

Compare the Differences
	Other games	Baseball Manager
Games	No Head to Head games. Sit back and watch your rankings in various categories. By the time May 15th comes around, little change will happen in the standings. Just one dull long boring season.	162 games of nightly head-to-head baseball in a ten-team league using stats from last night's games!
Lineups	There are no lineups. 14 hitters in most leagues. What baseball lineup has 14 hitters! Not very realistic.	Get real. In Baseball Manager you only use 9 batters. You can use a DH - only one - and only if you are playing in a league that use American League players. Just like Major League Baseball.
Results	Columns of stats rank you in the order of your success, with some arbitrary point system. How ordinary.	A final score, with actual box scores using actual statistics from last night's games. Just like real baseball! Results are delivered online each morning via the BBM Daily, a newspaper customized for each manager that includes box scores, league standings, colorful headlines and game results generated by Baseball Manager's unique Scorecard® algorithm
Position Eligibility	If a player plays just 3 games at a position you can use him there all year long. Uh, is that a challenge? And is it realistic to play David Ortiz at first base?	Players are only eligible to play at a position for the same number of games they actually play in MLB. Baseball Manager gives you a chance to manage like a real baseball manager.
Pitching	Someone comes in and throws a 1/3 of an inning and gets a win. Is that the same value as someone who throws 7 innings with 2 Earned Runs?	You manage a complete pitching staff, because Baseball Manager uses pitcher stats to determine outcomes of games. And that includes starters, long relievers, and closers.
Long Relief	A stat that has no value at all. Is that realistic?	In Baseball Manager, innings matter. Just like Joe Girardi needs someone to throw 2 innings or more, so will you.
Platoon Players	Lefty-right matchups are irrelevant in most leagues	If you have a guy who only faces left handed pitching you cannot start him in a game against a right handed pitcher. Just like the majors.
Emphasis on Statistics	A stolen base is just as important as a home run. Really now?	Baseball fans know that a stolen base only has a fraction of the value of a home run, and Baseball Manager crunches all the stats to give an accurate final score.
Role Players	At bats and superstars are all that matters. How they perform against a left-handed pitcher or whether they can be utilized for a few innings of relief is irrelevant.	Role players, just like in the majors, are a key part of the game. You have a 28-man roster, and you have to field a full lineup.
Immediacy	Roto games sometimes make you wait a week for results.	Baseball Manager uses the latest results from real baseball to resolve its games overnight.
