There are a bunch of little bugs that they should fix but they haven’t. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for rating our game, we're happy that you like it! We'll forward your request to the team and hope to be able to solve it in the future. ### 4/5 — More Stats *2025-06-07, version 1.0.50* Great little baseball simulation game! I just want more stats like OBP, SLG, OPS, and WHIP to be calculated on each player's card. It adds more immersion and they are very easy to calculate. Would love to see that added in the future. ### 4/5 — Can’t turn off haptics/ vibrations *2025-02-24, version 1.0.43* Its a great game, I just personally don’t like when my device vibrates while I’m playing a game and I turn it off but I couldn’t find a button to do so. Otherwise the game is a lot of fun ### 2/5 — Game is fun, but… *2025-02-17* I’ve been playing this game daily for quite a long time. It is fun, and it is visually appealing, but every update to this game is an attempt to push players to spend more real world currency on almost every aspect of the game. Things that use to be free now require coins, which can be earned in game at a slow pace, but are more quickly gathered through purchasing (though that feature currently seems to be broken) with real world currency. It seems the devs are intent on making almost every thing you do a micro-transaction. While I would have originally told people to play this game, I cannot currently advise people to do so in its current state. **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We try to keep a good balance for all players and we'll continue working on the game.. ### 4/5 — HUGE BUG *2024-12-18, version 1.0.38* love the game but the newest update has a bug when you try to play a game. Constantly shifts from three screens saying game unplayable. EVEN RESTARTING THE APP WONT FIX. Needs an emergency update fast ### 2/5 — Could have been a great game *2024-10-05* If only more people played. At a certain point you plateau and the only way to progress is to spend lots of money. I did not mind at first spending a bit as I was playing a lot. But at a certain level ( about mid range ) certain mechanics of the game don’t work anymore. You buy a player at auction and develop him, then you try to resell that player but because nobody else is playing even if you put him on auction as low as you can no one bids on him. And you cannot extend the contract because you have no cash left. Very unfortunate I liked this game for the first few months but now it has become a cash grab. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your honest feedback. We'll take your thoughts to the team and they will have a look. Hope to be able to give you a better experience with future updates. ### 2/5 — Big flaw *2024-09-18* Great game overall. Many flaws. The DH posting didn’t make sense. Pitching needs major work. Should have a rotation then bullpen like real baseball. More targeted training would be big. Stats tweaking to be more relevant would be nice. Biggest issue now is it says it can’t log in. I didn’t register which might be mistaken but it recognizes the account and say it’d lose it logout is chosen. If I lose progress I’d just delete. It’s a good time killer but not worth rebuilding. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback, it helps us make the game better. We'll forward it to the dev team. If you still need help to log in or restore your account please reach out to support@grandpike.com ### 2/5 — I can’t put my franchise name in *2024-08-28, version 1.0.35* I tried to put my franchise name in and it just says please try again later. I even uninstalled the game then reinstalled it and the same problem happened. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Updates *2024-08-25* Love this game but it needs some updates. Starting to get boring doing the same things all the time. **Developer response:** Hi ! Thank you for your rating & feedback! We always strive to become even better, if you want to provide further feedback, we are available at support@grandpike.com :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Baseball has RUNS not POINTS *2026-06-18, version 1.0.53* In baseball, we score runs, NOT points. Unfortunately, I cannot play this game unless this is rectified. Game seems neat tho! ### 1/5 — New update ruins game *2026-02-09, version 1.0.53* New energy system ruins game, after 4 games half my team was injured. No ability to play several games in one sitting anymore. ### 1/5 — Dysfunctional game *2025-11-06, version 1.0.52* Worthless game. Wants you to add free agents but unable to find where the marketplace is. Don’t waste your time. Edit: tried to login after a quitting for a few months and it’s saying unable to login to previous account and now wants me to create a new account. Again, don’t waste your time with this poorly developed game ### 1/5 — Account issues *2025-09-06, version 1.0.52* Game signed me out - now is telling me it can’t find my info Trying to use game center and it doesnt work Game took my money and ran 😂 Dont waste your time on it ### 1/5 — Dysfunctional game *2025-08-06, version 1.0.52* Worthless game. Wants you to add free agents but unable to find where the marketplace is. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Fun but so many problems *2025-04-11* While this game is fun and has a great vision - it is not executed properly. PLEASE GIVE ME A REFUND! The game constantly crashes as you play it. After playing 5-10mins I probably need to restart the app about a third of the time. New updates force you to spend money. The preparation meter just changed forcing you to spend all you daily token currency on just one mechanic of the game. None of the game mechanics are explained properly. The heal/rehab is broken and continues to not show up properly, and every once in a while will take away additional rehabs for no reason. Despite having a large amount saved up, I’m limited on how many I can use. Other mechanics in the game are explained nowhere and the game is a sleepy cash grab. **Developer response:** Thanks we appreciate your feedback. We've made some updates recently, please try the game again and let us know if you still have issues. ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2025-02-20, version 1.0.42* Game doesn't work for me at all. Can't even get started. I pick a country, name a city, and when I try to pick a name it says "error please try again later."'Not sure if my operating system is too advanced for the app, or what is up, but I can't even get to game play because it won't even let me name a team. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-11-04* After 4 months it now says I can’t sign into my account. Start new account. Spent money on my team and now it’s just all gone. To get my team back I’m supposed to give them a bunch of information that I can’t even access anymore. Don’t waste your time on this app. Huge scam **Developer response:** Hi, so sorry to hear you can't sign in. Please reach out to us with your team name and we'll help you get your team and account back! You'll reach us at support@grandpike.com ### 1/5 — Let me win a game *2024-10-17, version 1.0.35* I lost four games trash game don’t play it ### 1/5 — - *2024-08-09, version 1.0.35* This game is trash I originally got it because it looked cool but every time you play a bad cpu team they somehow win every time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome awesome game *2025-06-03, version 1.0.50* One of the greatest franchise sports game I’ve played ### 5/5 — Injury consistentency *2025-05-25* Haptic feedback had to be turned off in settings because this game triggers a buzz/bump ever 10 seconds in the menu. So obnoxious. Trash game Keeps putting me against players 10-20 rating above me in every cup to where i just keep losing. No wonder no one plays this trash app I have gotten 5 players injured in back to back games. This is honestly dog water lol They should allow reviewees to upload screenshots. You literally just constantly manage injuries. You play one game and 3 guys will get injured. No wonder no one plays this garbage game Spam play and my team has lost 30 straight games lol doesn’t matter whats changed. Its nothing i can actually manage. Literal so garbage cash grab game that has been abandoned **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you didn't like the game. We appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mid during the future development. ### 5/5 — Hall of fame for my players *2025-04-30, version 1.0.48* Super awesome game ### 5/5 — So much fun *2025-04-13* I started playing in November 2023 and still just as addicted as when I first started. I get on multiple times a day to play and try to improve my team. The game isn’t pay to win at all unlike many apps and games nowadays. Funny enough i convinced my wife to start playing recently and wanted to mention to the developers it is an honor to be mentioned as one of the “all time greats” in the dialogue. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! We're really sorry to hear that you're having issue with the game. We are working to solve the glitch issue and will release a new version as soon as we can. ### 5/5 — The cash and revenue system isn’t the great and could use improvements. *2025-01-18* Really I would rate this game 4.7/5 because the cash and revenue system isn’t great. It’s confusing that you do not get revenue for all of the home games you play. Also if i decide to quick sell a player I shouldn’t have to spend coins to do so. The game should be player friendly and not require me to spend irl money to sell a player I already own. However, I do like if you want to have a good team you need to play the game consistently for a while, it’s nice that I can’t get 99 overall players easily. (Suggestion) If the free quick sell is an idea the developers do not like, instead make trades available so that I can trade a 25 year old player for draft picks instead of auctioning or quick selling a player. Thanks, this is my favorite game. **Developer response:** Hi, we've made som updates to the game latetly. Hope you'll have a better experience with the new version. ### 5/5 — Cash *2024-10-28* Love this game but it's way too hard to get cash **Developer response:** Hi ! Thank you for your rating & feedback! We always strive to become even better, if you want to provide further feedback, we are available at support@grandpike.com :) ### 5/5 — Updates *2024-09-29* Love this game but it needs some updates. Starting to get boring doing the same things all the time. It's also way too hard to get cash. I can't sign my players **Developer response:** Hi ! Thank you for your rating & feedback! We always strive to become even better, if you want to provide further feedback, we are available at support@grandpike.com :) ### 5/5 — Need help *2024-09-26, version 1.0.35* How do you assign abilities, I can’t figure it out. Other than that I love this game. ### 5/5 — Let’s go!!! *2024-09-04, version 1.0.35* Great game. There have been minor bugs, but the response from support has been quick. The bugs have been fixed in updates as well. Trash Panda for life!!!! ### 5/5 — Team ratings apparently don’t mean anything *2024-08-30* I’ve been grinding for over 5 months to build my team up, paid like $18 on in game purchases and have a 195 rated team. 90+% of the teams I face in simulated games are rated lower than me, yet I lose about 45% of my games, regularly losing to teams rated 30-40+ points below me. I seriously don’t understand how to win more games. This is like if an MLB team played a season against double A teams and barely went over .500, it makes no sense to me. **Developer response:** Hi manager! We're really sorry to hear that you've had this experience . We working on a new version that should fix the getting stuck bug and will release it as soon as we can. We'll check regarding the communication around the season pass. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
