Users note that the recent edition of the game has diminished its replayability, particularly in the "historical" simulations, where players previously enjoyed the ability to engage with the "oracle" game and consistently dominate divisions with historical all-stars.
“Until this recent edition, I found high replay value in the historical simulations, as I could play the oracle game, snag historical all-stars, and be assured of at least year-to-year divisional dominance (not always World Series).”

The gameplay is likened to a strategic version of chess, incorporating elements of baseball, but it lacks traditional gameplay mechanics.
“I got this and it was a nice surprise; it's like chess, but with baseball and without the actual gameplay.”
