* Build an Empire— From setting ticket and concession prices to throwing promotional days, control every aspect of your organization in all-new Owner mode.
* All-New Create Ballpark Feature—Build a pitcher’s paradise or a hitter’s dream. Will you spend your earnings to upgrade your ballpark or to sign that cherished key free agent?
