Lose your ranking due to glitches

I play this game often. But I think I’m done with spending time climbing the ranks in career mode and reaching high levels only to be kicked back down when the game glitches. I’ve read other reviews and it seems to be a known problem that developers can’t or won’t solve. The game connects, finds an opponent, loads a match, glitches and kicks back to the Home Screen, while removing earned points and dropping you down a ranked level. Sometimes it will do this consecutive times in row, completely obliterating any recent success gained from winning. Simply not worth playing if this isn’t fixed. Also they’ve made bunting so ridiculously indefensible that most players excessively do it. Making the game way too predictable and therefore not enjoyable when playing weak and inferior players who can’t play any other way.

Game has improved

Game has improved a lot. There are still issues with dropping down tiers in competivive mode if the matchmaking fails. Questionable AI baserunning- should go about 1/2 way to the bag then return when the out has been secured. Would be nice to be able to throw high/low as well as in/out.

Old review after a particularly awful update:
Previously upgraded players have had their progress lost after the most recent update. Some Evolution is lost with players who had been subbed for the Rising Stars and star progress has been wiped for any Rising Star - both earned during the last even and purchased/upgraded outside of the event. App doesn’t even open anymore. You were so close to a successful game. Have written to Customer Support: “ Unfortunately, we do not have an immediate solution for this issue. The game team is working on a fix. However, it may take some time. We want to be absolutely honest with you and tell you that we do not expect an update to be released soon; it might take up to several months.”

Missing basic baseball components.

Overall, decently well built. Graphics are a little cartoony, but not a major concern. The UI is well built and the basic setup is good. The major issue this game has is that it wants to be too realistic without including important baseball rules and strategies. A good example is the lack of sacrifice flys, which becomes a major issue when every hit that is “in the sweet spot” (supposed to be perfect hit) ends up being a fly out. Another example is that the AI *never* swings at pitches that are outside of the strike zone, even on 0-2 when you throw a “perfectly timed” slider, which makes basic pitching strategy completely worthless.

Bottom line is that the game either needs to incorporate critical baseball stuff or go full cartoon and make home runs more common and pitching much more simplified. It tries to be both and kinda falls flat. It’s fun for like a couple hours then just gets annoying to play.

Amazing work

The game is not easy for the player

Need improvement

It’s a a good game concept but it needs improvement. I can be playing any of the Ranked series and can be 1 step close to a save a position and for some reason new games start getting canceled and start decreasing position to the previous saved step. Not fair. If this is a glitch the software should identify the canceled game and don’t move the player to previous position. I see too many call errors for no reason. You have all your players at a pro level and then dropping the ball at easy outs. Another problem is calling errors when there is not base advanced by a player because of the error. That is one of the basic rules of baseball. From time game can be get frozen, player that abandon the game first can get a loss. No fair. Software should be able to identify this issue and don’t give the loss to any player.

Can’t really play

I think this game is amazing but I can’t play it because every time I do I end up as the bater.

GREAT GAME

This game is SO GOOD! Must play for baseball fans! Great graphics as well!

Love this game!

This game is fantastic. All the gameplays have appeal and recently I have been all about the Ranked mode. However, as of two days ago, there is a glitch that happens when connecting to a game in this mode. It will state, “connecting” and then show the “100%”, and then it will refresh back to the ranked page and push you down a step on the ranked charts. It’s not putting a loss in the loss column thankfully, but it is costing steps just due to the glitch.

Wanted to pop it on here for the developers to see. If there is a way to submit a bug for the game in a different fashion, please let me know and I would be happy to submit via that route.

Great game and keep up the great work!

Fun but..

Super fun but the multiplayer rewards are pretty much impossible as even finding 5 people for a challenge can take 5-10 mins
I wish they would also incentivise playing against AI because thats the only way ive got a solid game without a long way

Great Idea

Really good, enjoyable game with lots of various game modes. However, just lately as soon as I load into a game and I hit a pitch a message comes up saying “waiting for response” and then the game freezes!

This is highly frustrating as I then have to close the app and it loses all my progress. This is happening more and more frequently.
