MLB.COM AND CAT GAMES LAUNCH SIMULATION GAME

MLB.com has teamed up with CAT Games to launch a brand-new simulation game called ‘Bush League Baseball’.

Bush League (http://bushleague.mlb.com) is a cartoon-style game in which fans manage teams of ‘Average Joes’ in daily matchups against thousands of other competitors worldwide.

Fans can improve their teams through various training methods, by morale-boosting activities (every player has his own specific character and preferences) and by drafting new star players from the waiver market.

Team hitting and pitching strategies can be set for each game. Choices depend on your team’s abilities, opponents’ strategies, the ballpark and the umpire.

Bush League is the latest addition to MLB.com’s games line-up, which also includes well-known titles such as ‘Beat the Streak’ and ‘SimLeagues’.
