Leave a Review Idle Baseball Manager Tycoon
Used to be a great game
This game used to be fun, you could just let it play in the background or log on after a little bit and make plenty of money to keep upgrading. The baseball has never been great but it’s an idle game so that wasn’t as important to what I was looking for. Since the last update the game has gone to all heck. Everything is capped and you can barely make enough money to do one upgrade. You now have to click to play each game so you cannot just let it play anymore. I emailed the developers and they didn’t even care enough to email back. The way this game is set up now after the update, this game is awful. I was my money back from paying for no ads before it became what it is. Don’t waste your time anymore. AWFUL!!!Show lessbb0110
Flawed but has potential
As far as simulation games go, this one is pretty good. I like the look of the game, the music is relaxing and the system for improvement seems to be pretty well balanced. My main issue with this game is the horrendous AI for the games.
Watching the simulations for these games have physically hurt my brain. Watching my fastest player hit an easy single only to get tossed out because he decided to go to second is annoying. My outfielders physically can’t throw it to the bases and my basemen just watch as the opponents run around them for easy points. I know the game is meant to be about leveling up and getting better players, but even High School players know better than to do what these AI are doing on a consistent basis.Show lesswabashman
Great potential but very frustrating
I like the stadium and team builder aspect of this game however I found it beyond frustrating that your players lack even basic common sense. Players running off base and not going back onto it. Players going for a ball miles away when someone else is 2 foot away. My players also don’t seem to be able to throw for than 5 feet (I mean my catcher can’t even throw to second) and they fail to make the most routine catches and plays that even at the beginning of the game you’d expect the most basic baseball player to make.
It could be a great game but it just feels a little basic still. Still spend ages playing it though!Show lessGruntlestein
I really wanted to love it
I am a huge baseball fan and a big fan of tycoon games…so I though this might be the perfect game. But it falls short on all aspects. The baseball simulation is missing may rules and basics of baseball. The runners will keep on running on occasions and run you out of a game. A ground rule double turns into a regular ball rolling down the street and the fielders will go after it…outside the fence. Just a poor simulation in my opinion. But it was a pretty fun idle game…so all of that didn’t matter. With this last update, the money made while idle was cut to a fraction of the previous version. So now it doesn’t even work as an idle game and forces you to watch the really bad baseball game to make any progress. The leagues idea is great, but the baseball needs to be better or make it a better idle game. But it can’t be bad at both to keep players around. I paid for the ad free version, but now it will be going on the archive. Just a bit disappointed.Show lessjohnhriddle

Hey! Thanks for leaving us a review and giving us some feedback, we appreciate that! Your comments will be noted and taken into consideration when developing updates. Thanks!Kind of fun. Terrible baseball programming.
Worst baseball I’ve ever seen. Things that are in need of changing:
- outfielders sometimes throw to each other
- infielders sometimes throw to the pitcher when a play is still live
- runners can still score after a 3rd out is made
- there’s no tag outs, everything is a force out
- runners sometimes go for another base despite the ball being right by the next base, really stupid since everything is handled like a force out, even when it’s not
- home plate strangely doesn’t out a runner when the catcher gets the ball, unless the runner is close to the plate, otherwise the catcher throws the ball away and allows a run.
- game does not end when you have the lead. The game is one inning, and the player bats 2nd. When you have the lead the game should end. That’s baseball. It’s a waste of time otherwise.
- scoreboard should have the home team on the bottom, since they bat second.
Upgrades quickly cost crazy amounts of money, stonewalling progress.Show lessSir peez a lot
Needs missions
Good game however it feels limited in what you can and can’t do.
Baring only being able to install a few shops and install seats, it feels way too limited for a game. Wouldn’t mind the ability to change the ticket prices, change the exterior of the stadium a bit more and just have more ability to create and do more in general.Show lessAndyWilkins24
TOP Tycoon game but…
This game is tons of fun to start with. The team dynamic where you can level the players up and upgrade your stadium is exactly what I love out of a tycoon game. Along with the expected features of a tycoon game, this app goes above and beyond by actually simulating a baseball game inside the tycoon experience with unique actions every hit depending on player levels.
My only complaint with the app (probably cuz I’m a baseball player myself so I’m too picky) is a lot of the runners on my team don’t know when to stop running. There are times they beat out a nice ball to 1st base, but if the ball dribbles a centimeter over the foul line they try to swipe second base only to meet a dismal end. Same with balls that dribble right in front or behind second base.
This really being my only complaint, albeit a frustrating one, displays why this game is so highly rated, and with a quick fix in the game play mechanics this game as said in other reviews, could be a top game in the App Store.Show lessFksprtkrbdjddlfl

Great Game! But one flaw
Have really enjoyed this game and it’s very addicting. I enjoy the player development system a lot and just the stadium itself is extremely well built. but there’s one thing that I’d like to be improved and that’s the individual seat prices. It just seems kind of unrealistic to make individual seats cost as much as they do with so many to buy. Seats should cost more than players or stands or vendors or really anything. They are the least important part of the game and make you vary little value but yet you're gonna have to pay an insane amount of money to get all the individual seats. It just feels literally impossible to get all the seats, like I’m cool with spending a couple million on a player or a stadium expansion, or a shop, or even to help train the players. But for a single seat?? It just seems so worthless when it adds very little value to the game other than It looks better to not have an empty stadium. Thanks for this good game overall thoughShow lessjoshua_james03
