Leave a Review New Star Baseball
Fun game with improvement needed.
I have played New Star Soccer for the last 4 years and I was excited for this release. It’s good, but it needs work to be immersive. As the other review mentioned, I batted .600 in my first year and was barely able to move up one league, often receiving low grades. There are also small fixes that would help it feel more realistic. In baserunning, players end the play running off the base, which should be an out. In the playoffs, it doesn’t say how long the series are, so I didn’t know which game would decide the champion until after it happened. The catching mini game is also the hardest one, I think the glove placement isn’t always accurate. I think this game will be the best available after a few updates.Show lessDiest922

Thanks for the detailed feedback, most appreciated.Decent
I think the game is perfectly fine, besides the running, it has been almost impossible for me to level it up, and I think running shouldn’t be constant spamming and more casual like all the other skills, besides that everything else is fine right now.odensoup
Needs Work
Very fun idea, and I was a big fan of NSS so I downloaded this. At first it was fun, but there’s a couple issues. First, the running needs to be revamped because currently it doesn’t make much sense except for spamming The phone. Two, pitching can be simplified. Three, make it easier to progress through the leagues and recalibrate the rating system. My player batted above .600 which is basically a god, and hit home runs more often than not. Truthfully I wasn’t great at throwing, pitching, or running but I was decent. I should be able to progress through the league if my player is so obviously a superstar. Lastly, create a figure where you can change your character’s number.Show lessAriC13LA

Hi. Please check out the next update, we've made changes to the game which should address most of the issues you mention here, we've made improvements to the game based on the feedback and comments left by players, specifically with regards to game ratings.Solid in concept
The interplay between different aspects of your player’s performance could use some work. I. My most recent game I went 4/4 with three home runs (including a game winning grand slam) but ended up with one star because of my poor pitching performance. That’s not a good reflection of how baseball works. The New Star system seems like it could work for baseball, but there needs to be some more thinking for how the individual aspects work together.Show lessjonmeerdink
Pay To Win Garbage
The game starts off fun and has really engaging mechanics that let you play on all sides of the game. You will then get to a certain point where you will lose no matter what as your skills are not high enough. Guess what will help your player gets his skills up??? Paying money. Also another issue is you can literally hit a double and still lose points for doing so... like why? Has a decent base of a game but a lot of the surrounding mechanics are just pay to win garbage. 2/5Show lessSmartReviewGuy
Tutorial is wayyyyyyy too long
3 games for a tutorial? Like come on ...the game itself is ehhhhh ..the running is stupid ...hitting 9 out of 10 times is a foul ball...but the tutorial is literally 3 full games and also showing you how to equip cards ...but the fact you have to show how to equip cards in different categories that all get equipped the same way by just dragging them on the screen is kinda redundant like why show me how to do the same thing 3 times? And the ads oh man spamming my phone all day longShow lessic0nik1
Potential
This game has good mechanics, but the rating system needs a major rework. I’ve had games twitch three home runs, and still gotten a 2.0(out of 10) rating.
The pitching mini game has major issues at the moment as well. The directions are simply to “spin and tap” but there is next to no way to figure out where the ball is going to spin to, and you have to tap way high just to maybe get it in the strike zone.
With some fixes, the game could be good.Show lessTeddydog10
Close but could be better
I love this game and think it has lots of potential. My first problem is with the player rating system. I’ll have games where I hit 4/4, complete every pitch, and fail no fielding yet I still get negative rating from my team, even when we win! It’s nearly impossible to level up. Second, my first season I had .405 AVG and 33 HRs but didn’t make the cut for a C league team, this doesn’t seem like a players numbers are given enough weight. Lastly, I enjoy all the gameplay minus the running, it just doesn’t make sense, I dislike the phone spamming. Thank you for all your hard work I look forward to what the game will eventually become.Show lessbowjack8754

Super fun game. I’m a big fan of new star soccer and this game reminds me of it. There are a few bugs that mess up the gameplay, but I’m hopeful they’ll be fixed as more updates come. For instance, my batting rating is always very low every game, despite hitting multiple RBI doubles and home runs. The base running mini game also is a little broken. It will say it’s “easy to get to third base” but I’ll get absolutely hosed trying to run to third. On the other hand, sometimes it will say “very risky to run home” but I cruise into home with plenty of time. If some of these issues get fixed, this could easily become my favorite game on the App Store.Show lessThe beast of the least
