As far as mobile sports management sims go, MLB 9 Innings GM sets a high bar for authenticity. It isn't just about watching a ball fly; it’s about the spreadsheets, the scouting reports, and the nail-biting decisions of the trade deadline. The depth of the roster management is impressive, allowing you to really feel the weight of every draft pick and free agent signing.
What I appreciate most is the balance between the simulation and the tactical involvement. You aren't just a passive observer; you are adjusting rotations, managing the bullpen during high-leverage situations, and watching your prospects grow through the minor league system. While the UI can feel a bit cluttered at times due to the sheer amount of data, the satisfaction of leading a rebuilding franchise to a World Series title is unmatched in the genre.

This is an excellent choice for your own personal baseball needs. Real players and an easy enough listening curve to get to on you way to glory. Take the time to read the help ? Early on you'll have tons of silver, use it wisely by training keepers 85+ or useful elites. Before even doing the season scout your u 70+ & 75+ players and then go to trade. Take a low player and your highest sub 80+ player, add 1000 silver ( should have 65%-80% ) chance of trading for 80+ player. Don't keep the black cards and doubles of same player/year raises +1 ( which is + 2 on attributes, max +5 ) can also be bought for 39 gold, unless ur a whale be sparingly w/gold. Plenty too be had just be smart. Black card lvl 10 max, reg cards lvl 15 max, elite and gold lvl 20 max. Each lvl up is attribute point to add to one of 5 archetypes. I ignore fielding ( batters ), and stamina ( pitchers. ) Use the trades to fish for those high 80s and doubles as such. 89 is highest draw, anything 75 and over is good start for bull pen. 5 starters and 5 in the pen. Catchers, that are good are rare commodity, being a fan you know this. These cars go back some years and you can search the players if you wish and good way too look for what you may need. e.g NL vs. AL .etc... I could write a book. This is just heads up ideas to take note of. On team screen left hand side by equipment for the season. One button even suggest line ups. Sorry for the sporaticness. It is what it is, enjoy playing GM. Be well.
This game is incredibly fun and I’ve played it for a while except for a few things. Here they are: Why can’t you just skip a season in like 5 seconds instead of every game taking 5 mins, it’s incredibly annoying. Could you please also make players gain levels in every game mode and not just league. Why are the trades completely random instead of you actually agreeing to a deal instead losing your players for a bad player. Speaking of trades why do you have to trade 2-4 players for 1 player. You should get the same amount as before This game is super fun but after like a month you just lose every game. Please make the leagues more fun and fair. Also with the new update it seems like you took away POTM. That is perfectly fine but please don’t advertise it then. It can be very annoying to new players. One more thing, if you could change the amount of record you need to upgrade your player that would be awesome. It is super difficult to get all of the required things for a upgrade. Please read this and I hope you can make some changes to the game. Thank you!
I played this game a few weeks and set about developing a team of Mariners. It was good and I was progressing and learning a bit and was getting some rewards. But then the game stopped giving me mariners and I started running out of the cash they give you at the beginning. You get numerous free reports to help you find new players but I used dozens without getting any mariners, and there was no way to choose the division or team you wanted when doing the free trades. Mariners return rates were far below a 1% chance. So what happened is that my team stopped getting better, and the only way to improve was to start spending real money so I could use the “free draft” (which gives you draft options for free, but not the players themselves). The cost to get new mariners or upgrade my existing ones is prohibitively expensive, like $50 to get maybe 8 players, a couple of which may be mariners. And without a way to get new mariners with any consistency, I couldn’t upgrade my existing players either—without using real $$ to buy upgrade tokens. In the end, you can play and develop a team at first, but it will be difficult to play competitively in the major league level without spending real money. Take that joy of advancement away and the game itself gets boring quickly. You end up losing half your games or more because your team stalls out and your trades are no fun because you have such a minuscule chance of getting the players on teams you like. I’m deleting this and regret about half the hours I put into it.
Just a few questions, I haven’t played this game in a very long time. So I wanted to ask ‘Are you able to have a chance to go to the “Play-Off’s” & then the “Division” & Can you go to the “WORLD SERIES”? The reason I’m asking is because I played a MLB game that You are able to do all of this, and The really cool thing is that if you win the “World Series” you are also able to make & design your own “World Series Team Ring. Sort of like the game “NFL- Game Day” That would be the Coolest thing ever!!! But it should be able to be so everyone is able to play it even if it does cost some money but not something crazy Everyone should be able to play. I Just want game designer to hear not just Me but also other players to Thank you I still love playing your game
Dude come on, you have a perfectly good baseball game for the phone but it doesn’t work. Im not talking about glitches or whatever. But im talking about how uneven the matchmaking is, and it is BAD. The better your team gets, even if you finish last on the leaderboards of your old season, you still move up and it becomes harder and harder to compete. I was just playing this game, and i got very angry at it. This is a game where you are going to lose unless you are spot on with skills and everything, i guess. Or unless you pay to win, whenever thats included the game immediately becomes terrible. I am in 8th place in the season im in now, and i just went up twice against a team thats in 6th place. Lost both, both games were shutouts, both games they scored 9 runs with over 10 hits, and both games i only got two hits. Dude i have players that are over level 85, and i still cant seem to win a game. There is even stuff in this game that gives you choices to pick, and each choice will affect certain players and whatever. What is the point of that, idk if im doing something wrong, but at least for me, that has absolutely zero purpose in this game. Cause when i press an option it says like “these players are determined after hearing your words”. Now if they are so “determined”, why do they go 0-4 or 0-5 in the next game. Oh thats right, its because of very uneven matchmaking. This is a game based off of your players skill, and to me it seems that whatever happens in game i have no control over. Tbh, i love the game but the matchmaking ruins the experience for me, and i think it ruins other peoples experiences too. This HAS to be fixed, cause if it isnt, its just gonna be loss after loss after loss. I hope people see this review, it’s important that people know and understand how this game will work out for them. Game developers, please listen. If you get that fixed, i PROMISE you, it would be ten times better, much more tolerable and much more fun.
No matter what boosts or add-ons I deploy in the game against static opponents who don't know I'm playing them ( bots perhaps?) I go through long losing streaks without enjoyable results and often times unable to complete weekly goals. I have made plenty of in-app purchases yet I never seem to approach the best players. they win weekly with records of 30-13 and I play hundreds of games with losing records and never crack the top 10. it's a challenging game missing plenty of relevant stars (no Jeter?) and they remove low used former players regularly smh. (Ichiro and Tanaka) play the game or not. but there are better baseball games out there GM CHALLENGE algorithm still is anti player. go through stretches where I will lose up to 10 games in a row to a far inferior opponent but get told by the developer that I don't know how to play the game smh. been playing for over 2 years. don't insult the players when the app is blatantly rigged
It’s a pretty fun simulator. A few things I hope the devs work on. Free agent market: it would be nice if every team were represented each free agency. More people would spend money if they could get needed players. In app purchases: If you want more money spent? People should be able to buy guys for their team not random players. If it’s random? It’s not worth the money regardless of gold coins. Let it be a random player from their team not the league. In game: would be nice to get team specific reports either earned or paid. In game: It’s tough in harder leagues and I think the average team strength should be lowered for competitive balance. In game: would be nice to have some coaching style options for the cpu to apply for games. Not just generic options but in depth ones. In game: during ladder games your players don’t earn exp. that’s needs to be changed. Exp goes up so slowly during seasons. In game: would be nice if you could use more franchise players. There are usually a handful of “core” players teams build around. I have four position franchise players but can only use one. Hope some or all of these changes come down the pipe. If you like simulators? This is the game for you. They’ve got some work to do but it’s still a fun one.
This game is fun.....to start. As others have said the first few days are crazy fun. I even bought a few small packages to get some better player and such. Then you just hit a wall. You get out of those first few leagues and your losing 90% of your games in every mode. I get that it’s a 3 year old game but there is zero new player help at all. Maybe I’ll keep playing maybe I won’t. I found that I’m logging in less and less every day because it’s not fun going 1-9 in ladder for the day. Maybe it’s me. I feel I’m leveling and adding skills but if I’m doing something wrong there is no way for me to know how to get better. Also I have no issues giving a little money for things in games like this that I love. Problem here is why would I buy any more packs at all?
