The game offers several new options compared to its predecessors. Players have full control over their fielding and lineup positions, allowing them to make strategic decisions during the game. They can also create, sign, and trade free agents, manage batting and pitching rotations, set up custom batting orders, and take control of every player on the field.
The game is filled with detailed statistics, including hot and cold zones for each player, drafts, injuries, trades, and fines. This level of detail adds to the realism of the game, providing a more immersive experience for players.
