## What is Baseball Life?

Create one baseball player and live their career from the draft to retirement in this decision-driven life simulation. Play as a catcher, infielder, outfielder, pitcher, or a rare two-way player.

There's no game to control — every week, you make decisions: training menus, managing fatigue and injury risk, and negotiating your contract. Your choices shape the player's stats and career.

■ Features
- Zero baseball controls — enjoy "raising a player" even if you're not into sports games
- Choose a batter, pitcher, or two-way player, each with its own stat tracking and skills
- No hidden numbers — every growth formula, at-bat probability, and injury-risk formula is shown in-game
- Allocate talent points at creation to decide what kind of player you'll become — growth slows as you approach your caps
- Peak at 27, decline starting at 30 — the back half of a career becomes a race against time for career records
- Climb up from the farm team, earn your manager's trust, fight for your position, and chase league-leading titles
- One contract negotiation per year, using this season's highlights as leverage
- Challenge an overseas free agency move to one of 30 fictional international teams
- A fresh small weekly goal, plus stat/ability trend charts to watch your player grow
- Retire with a career rank and nickname recorded on the all-time leaderboard, then pick a flavorful "second career" path
- Earn Hall of Fame points to boost your next character's talent — or start as a "successor" inheriting from a past legend
- Fully localized — switch your device to English and the whole app follows

## Key features

- Decision-driven career simulation
- No direct baseball controls
- Player role customization (batter, pitcher, two-way)
- Transparent growth and probability formulas
- Contract negotiation and free agency
- Retirement and second career paths
- Hall of Fame progression system

### 3/5 — お願い

*2026-09-10*

怪我の時に、急にアラームが鳴って怖かった。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。怖い思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございません。怪我発生時の効果音は緊急アラーム的な音から控えめなトーンに変更済みで、最新バージョンに反映されています。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — とても面白い

*2026-09-10*

スマホの野球ゲームでは新しいタイプでとても楽しめています！
1つ感じたのは、チームメイトなどの成績も見れたら面白そうだと思いました。
見えない相手とレギュラー争いしている印象が強かったので…

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。「操作なしで選手を育てる」という作りを楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。

チームメイトの成績が見えない件、まさにご指摘のとおりです。現在はポジション争いの相手が内部的な数値としてしか存在しておらず、誰と競っているのかが伝わらない作りになっています。次のアップデートで、まずは争っている相手を選手として表示し、能力や現在の差が分かるようにする予定です。

貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。
