I Love This Game

Almost the perfect game. It’s easy to play and learn. It also uses the simplest elements of baseball: pitching and hitting. I recommend spending a few minutes before playing games in the Batting Cage to get your timing right. But even more intriguing is how the game uses the complexities of managing. You choose pitchers with different abilities. You choose a lineup based on a combination of hitting and fielding abilities. And you are stuck with the players you have until you get lucky and get another player with better abilities. Then there’s the game play itself: situational baseball. When you pitch, you have to know your strengths and your opponent’s weaknesses. Some cannot hit a snake ball. Some cannot time a changeup. When you hit, you have to be able to hit down the lines or up the middle, depending on where the tiles and the fielders are placed. Yeah, I’ve spent about $20 on rubies, but I didn’t have to in order to enjoy this game. And I may be naive, but I suspect that reviewers who think they are playing against bots are just people who haven’t taken the time to manage their lineups and work their timing for batting. I win 70% of my games and lose 30% to players who have managed their lineups and have had better luck.

Addicting

Been playing for weeks. Never spent a dime. At first it’s easy, then becomes more difficult the more fielders are added. I said I never spent a dime, but I have watch a boatload of ads, still do. Had issues winning all the time and would waste all my coins playing the expensive stadiums. After figuring out how to play better, I win the highest stadium almost 99% of the time and have racked up over 95 million coins. It seems to easy now. I’m very skeptical that the teams I play aren’t real individuals. I sometimes can get 20 or more runs but have never had anyone else score that many on me. I can’t be that good. A player is matched against me and hits what I’d expect to be obvious hits to put men on base. Then, after they get a few runs against me, they hit completely stupid bad hits; almost on purpose. Plus, the stupid baseball facial expression emojis pop up all the time. Like when I hit a bad hit, the emoji from the other team gives me a positive face. That’s not human. Most would make a laughing face for my mistake, or no face at all. I never use the face emojis. Anyway, I enjoy playing the game, but I wish I knew for certain that I was playing an actual person. I think they take actual people’s teams and their current status, put it’s a bot actually playing. Cause I know for certain if I racked up 20 runs to their 2 runs, a lot of people word quit it the middle of the game, but no games I’ve played have ever been forfeited. Hmmm...

Not playable

I really enjoyed this game at first. It was very fun to play and really enjoyed the tournaments and mini games. The past few month s though The developers decided that they would tinker with the game play. Which( made the game very hard to compete in . The opponents Pitches were sonic speed fast, etc, impossible to hit fast, When I brought this up to customer service they replied there were several bugs that made the game unplayable and they were working on it. I waited a few days to see if it was corrected, and in some ways the pitches were easier to hit but the I noticed that my bat control wasn’t the same, even with the upgraded versions there really didn’t seem like huge difference? So I wrote them again to see wha5 was going on. Again I got a reply that a patch was in the works that greatly decreased level 10 legendary players. Ok cool, so I gave it a few more days, tried it again and now opponents pitcher special abilities greatly increase. With my legendary player, my special ability is activated 16% of the time, the opponents have increase dramatically, same special pitches 2 or 3 times in a row sometimes. I was at the 9000 trophy level I am getting these type of pitchers from 8,000 and 7,000 players. Seems like whenever they close one bug an entirely new on emerges and it has been very frustrating to try to compete.

This is a Baseball Game You’ll Love!

This game is great for baseball fans. It is the complete opposite of boring. The game is quick, 2 innings and each team gets 10 pitches in each inning so one team doesn’t get like 80 runs in one inning. There is so much to do. Upgrades are fun and players are relatively easy to get. In a fee days, I have so many good players and I haven’t lost a game yet in 11 games! Plus, gameplay is easy to learn and is fun once you master it. The game also pairs you with an opponent with the same amount of trophies as your team. That is a game changer because games like this can pair you with a really powerful team and you will always lose. This game is very fun and fair. The only thing I wish is that you can pitch instead of watching. Also, I feel like gear does nothing because the gloves don’t make the players ability percentage increase. At least the gear makes your players look cool! Plus when you upgrade your players, the home run zones seem to stay the same even though if you upgrade your player the home run zones are bigger. Overall, this game has been in my top 10 best games I have played. Well done!

*not just a game*look at coding* do not download

Update: If it’s not going to run on iPhones, stop selling it for iPhones. Your app is doing something it shouldn’t be to be causing this much power usage. You still have yet to answer what it’s doing. This phone can more than handle a your cheap graphics and process what your simple game would need to run perfectly smooth. The massive overheating and drainage.....What is your app doing that also goes around the silencing of my device and will play sounds even after muting in your own games options. This is not just a game I’ve downloaded........this is messed up I like the game. It wasn’t bad when I started. I foolishly put money into it. As the game goes on more defenders enter the field. At that point, I don’t know what this app is trying to do on the background, but it’s seriously overheating everything, draining the power; dimming the screen. If that wasn’t bad enough, it’s lagging like crazy. You can’t play it like your suppose to while it lags. Get ready for all your outs. Can core 20+ runs while it runs right. Can’t score or really hit anything without pure luck while it lags. Simple graphics, simple everything! What is this app trying to do on my devices that it’s not suppose to be doing? They have claimed to fix these issues in this latest update.....nope. I’d almost say worse at this point. What is going on? Seriously! I wish I could get my money back if it’s not going to run correctly.

Great Game, But I’ve Hit The Ceiling

I’ve been playing this game extensively for the past few months, developing my team day by day. At this point however, I don’t feel like I can get any better at the game. I’ve unlocked all but 4 of the players and have accumulated over 100 million coins. I’m even in the top competitive league, as I just play in the high stakes arena because coins don’t matter to me anymore. After unlocking Brody Blue the game has become way too easy, winning 9 out of 10 games, as he is too overpowered. I have the best player at every position in the game, so what’s the incentive to keep coming back? The game has grown stale, notable as the currencies in the game (gems and coins) really don’t do much besides upgrades and packs. I think the development team has done a great job with this game, but I’ll be deleting the app at the conclusion of this review. There simply isn’t anything left for me to do, in my eyes. I hope the team continues to develop this game, because it’s one hell of a fun concept. Great designs with the characters as well!

Potential but lots of problems

The game is an interesting concept and is mildly entertaining however there are tons of bugs and glitches. The primary one is batting timing. You can delightedly attempt to hit to one side and time it as such and have the ball go the complete opposite direction (always into an out wall.) Additionally, you swing and miss a lot even if the timing is perfect. Sometimes you’re just predisposed to strike out and there’s nothing you can do about it. I tested this a few times on a hunch (34x to be precise) and every time I waited an obscene amount of time so I would hit it square to center or even a bit opposite and if would swing right through you can literally see the ball disappear for a split second because the bat goes right through it. Probably part of how the game is set up so you can’t dominate too much. Lastly, when you’re playing defense there’s nothing you can do except select pitches if you have a multi pitch pitcher, other than that nothing you just sit there and wait. Extremely boring and frustrating, there should be some component when you’re playing defense, perhaps allowing to set up your players in the field strategically (before you see the out and hit walls of course.) It’s a decent set up but LOTS to work out and fix, although an improvement from the last time.

You only play against their bots

Why do developers make you think you are playing against someone else online when you are really just playing against their AI? On this game, you only play against bots. The outcome is predetermined and there is little (if anything) you can do about it. After playing about 1,000 games, I’ve learned that your “opponent” will score a certain number of preordained runs. I’ve also determined that if the AI doesn’t want you to win, you won’t. Think I’m exaggerating? Watch how often your opponent has laser-like precision until a certain number of runs are tallied. Then watch him hit into consecutive outs, seemingly well off the mark. Also notice how, when you’re hitting, you will seem to hit the ball right at a fielder in those instances where the AI says you shouldn’t get a hit. To top it off, notice how the game will place the fielders in highly advantageous positions when it wants you to score, and highly disadvantaged positions when it thinks you shouldn’t. Given these maddening limitations, I must admit that I wouldn’t have played 1,000 times without it being fun. This is why I give the game 3 stars it would have been 5 stars if I felt that the game was inherently fair.
