Leave a Review Idle Baseball Manager Tycoon
Fun and simple but some serious logic problems
In terms of a super easy to pick up when you’re bored game, really good and in like with most idle games.
Most frustrating thing though is having such little control over the players and watching really poor decisions like players running when they shouldn’t be and getting thrown out. Even when you get better players, it’s terrible to see the other team effortlessly scoring runs and you’re helpless to stop it.Show lessBaseball moose
Playing the game takes to long
There should be a skip/2x faster button to speed things uphudjdjx
great
great game.. hardly any ads, fun!♫ఌ☏❥
Decent game
Everything about this game is really fun, except for the actual part of playing the baseball game. Players will randomly try to run to another base when the person next to them has the ball and then get out.
My player will get the ball and be literally standing on the base but the guy is still safe.
Or someone will hit the ball and my guy gets it, but instead of just throwing to 1st to get the person out, they throw it to a different guy.
It makes it really difficult to move up. You have to go 4-0 or 5-0 to make it the local league.Show lessRyan1118382&;&;
Misses the mark
Everything besides the game simulation is pretty good. Watching the simulated game about gave me a hernia. If the developers could fix the simulation I’d probably change my review to 5 stars.
Example: the batter hits a ball to the right field wall and is halfway to second by the time the right fielder gets to it. The right fielder picks up the ball, runs 20 feet towards the infield and throws the ball to... the center fielder. Now the runner is on his way to third, so naturally the center fielder throws to ball to... left field???? Seeing this, the runner decides to head home to attempt an inside the park home run. The left fielder eyes him down, ready to throw the ball harder than he ever has before.... to second base 😑 but the stupidity didn’t end there, because he overthrew the second baseman by a mile, and the right fielder had to back him up. So the play that took about a full minute real time ended up with the right fielder holding the ball about 80 feet closer than when he first picked it up.
I can understand the AI making some less than intuitive throws or running mistakes, but come on. Hand held games before the iPhone existed had better AI than thisShow lessheidnficuej7920264920

Hey, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and we are sorry to hear you experiencing this difficulty with the game! Thanks for including an example for when you experienced this issue happening, this is very helpful! We are looking to improve the base running and throwing of the players, keep an eye out for updates!this game makes me MAD
So i have been playing this game for over 2 weeks now and i have a lot of problems with it. First of all the game has major gaps in between upgrading your stadium and field. The way you make money is also very slow unless you watch a million ads. Also when you close the game and comeback after awhile it will show you the money you accumulated while you were gone and sometimes it will show you an option to get 3 times as much and sometimes it won’t let you click it. Well, I just got the option to get 3x the amount i made so i watched an entire ad and after the ad they never gave me the 3x and instead was given the amount that i would’ve had without watching the ad. I wish this game was more fun and would make more sense.Show lessListenToZach
Why bother with “abilities” if we can’t play?
This game could be so much better - or so much more mindless.
Let us play the games to help influence the outcome, or simply let them happen in the background. Right now you are in limbo.
By giving players enhanced abilities, we are encouraged to “play” the matches… except we have no control over anything that happens. The matches don’t happen unless you’re actively starting and completing them - so let us enjoy that part of the game.
Let us pick what base to throw to instead of everything going to the pitcher first who then runs back toward the mound before throwing elsewhere. Let us decide if we want to go for second or third when a throw goes to the wrong base instead of base runners essentially being forced out when they would NEVER go in real life.
You can keep the automatic pitch, swing, field settings - but let us enjoy the part of the game that makes us play it!Show lessSeriously???????!!!!!!!
Poorly executed
There’s nothing easy about making NPCs play baseball and make it look normal but it’s mostly just nonsense at this level. What the players do is clearly not designed or integrated well to actually call this anything close to a simulation of a real life sport. The catcher will be holding the ball while an opposing runner is headed towards home to score and the catcher will throw it to 2nd base instead of simply holding the ball and tagging the scoring runner out. Just one example of many in my watching of 2 innings of play. The game is just trying too hard to just do stuff instead of doing sensible stuff. There’s just so little to interact with while you’re watching the horrendous game unfold that either you’re watching an ad or bad baseball. I would choose neither and uninstall this app if I were you. It’s a shame this isn’t done well enough to warrant keeping it as this is a missing piece in the sports app market.Show lessledhotzepper

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!Fun game but need to fix gameplay
The game is fun enough. I even spent the $6.99 to get rid of ads and I think that was worth it. Where this game falls short is the actual play of the teams. Nothing is done remotely correct. For example, the fielder will field a ball hit to SS and they throw it to the pitcher and then the pitcher throws to first? Outfielder needs two cutoffs? For God’s sakes, the base runners run even when they shouldn’t and are automatically called out before even getting to the next base. even the home team on the scoreboard is on top instead of bottom.
So like I said, it’s fun enough but if you’ve ever watched or played baseball, you will get frustrated.Show lessdjdjeiwisn17484@
Pay to win
The game starts off well but costs of upgrades soon spiral well beyond what you can earn in game with buying extras. No logic to winning the actual games, stats mean nothing and it’s based purely on chance or fixed results prior to the start. Shame had a lot of potentialBaseballTycoon players
