User reviews

It’s a good game just a poor port

It glitches. A lot. One time for some reason the ball I guess was bouncing off the characters hit boxes and scurried around the diamond like a rat it was going faster than a hr swing.

Frustrating

The hitting feels like it’s been extremely nerfed. All you hit are weak pop flys or soft hit grounders, even in T-ball mode. What’s the point of having players with a 10 rating for hitting if they can’t even hit the ball out of the infield

Not really that good

Needs fixed it runs really bad and really hard ti his even on easy mode not worth 5$ unless your there just for the nostalgia

Doesn’t work

I WASTED 5 DOLLARS ON THIS USELESS GAME THAT I CANT EVEN OPEN, IT KICKS ME OUT THE SECOND I TRY AND OPEN IT
