But now apparently a game that is about little 3d idle figures playing baseball with powers is a 17+ game? Also how is upgrading your players and stadium inappropriate? This game WAS amazing but I’m not sure now. ### 2/5 — baseball aspect- 1 star:tycoon aspect 2.5 stars *2026-06-20, version 3.3.1* its a lil fun but it doesn't even follow baseball rules and your players make the most unnecessary base running choice which not only cost you wins but i feel like it also prolongs the games. in my opinion its fun if your just looking for a tycoon game and dont care about the baseball part ### 3/5 — It’s doesn’t have baseball iq *2026-05-28, version 3.3.1* On the plays we’re it is a tag play all they have to do is touch the bag it’s not like any of the other baseball games I play where they don’t take an hour to through the ball. I also don’t like the players bat it’s based off of lick if they miss they or they hit. It just seemed a little rushed so if you guys or girls which ever made the just next time put a little more time into it. ### 2/5 — Fun but impossible. Pay to play. *2026-05-18, version 3.3.1* You can’t make enough money without paying to play to do ANYTHING. Also, the AI is awful. Multiple complaints and no fixes. People run to bases when they will 100% get thrown out. Players run to their assigned places before throwing a ball as well, no real baseball reactions. Also, if someone is running toward a base why are they instantly out rather than them running back to the base they came from?? ALSO!!! If I get a third out on a team, why is their player able to still run in for a run on home plate? The devs, assuming they aren’t AI also, do not care. ### 2/5 — Baseball made by non-baseball people *2026-05-04, version 3.3.1* This game has potential but ironically is most held back by the ‘baseball’ elements. Feels like this is what would happen if someone unfamiliar with the sport skimmed a Wikipedia article on baseball and made a game based on it. Few examples: - Games regularly end in ties. Ties only happen in baseball when something like weather keeps them from being finished. Even extra innings are pretty rare. Ties are so common in this game that there’s a column for it in the standings. - Only 1 inning. Probably part of why there are so many ties. But the games have only 1 inning. That’s it. That means there’s zero strategy to things like when you use your power ups. Batting order doesn’t matter because you won’t get past the 5th batter in a lot of games. Also means that outcomes don’t really reflect team quality, just luck. At least make it 3 innings or let the user pick the game length. - Fielders seem to have no idea how to play. Things like 3rd baseman and pitcher both going for the same bunt instead of the baseman staying on base to catch the runner. Or runners trying to go home when the ball is thrown to the pitcher. Or left fielder throwing it to the 2nd baseman (between 1st and 2nd) when the runner is headed for 3rd. Or the catcher not being able to throw to 2nd. It’s not just ‘oh these players aren’t good’ mistakes. It’s the type of mistakes someone who is brand new to baseball would make. Really ruins any sense of excitement or accomplishment when the half inning ends due to someone being thrown out on a play no one would ever attempt. - No walkoffs. No idea why you’d shorten the games to 1 inning then make us play to 3 outs in the bottom of the 1st even after the home team took the lead. - No real in game strategy. Can’t do pinch runners or hitters or anything like that. Just activate power up - No away games. - Promotion and relegation does not exist in any baseball league that I am aware of. To be clear, the ballpark simulation aspects are mostly ok. It’s just that the actual baseball element is only vaguely baseball like which ruins a lot of the fun. ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-05-02, version 3.3.1* I like the game, but the AI needs to learn the fundamentals of baseball. The baserunners think the goal is to be out rather than safe. The fielders do not know how to get runners out. ### 4/5 — fun but player AI is odd *2026-03-18, version 3.3.0* overall the game is pretty good, however there are serious problems with the player AI, they constantly run into outs on the base paths, they will just watch a ball go right past them in the outfield despite it taking like 2 steps to catch it, but the most shocking was that they can run out of the park and get the home-run ball and just throw it back into play?? why did my home-run become a triple?? it makes no sense ### 3/5 — 백업안되나오? *2025-11-29* 예전에했던 계정찾고싶은데 ### 1/5 — Alright but with some flaws *2025-11-07, version 3.2.0* This is an entertaining way to spend some time. It’s ok. 2 problems though. First, these devs seem incredibly greedy. Even after paying $7 to turn off ads the game still constantly tries to hit me up for money. Second I’m not expecting a fully realistic baseball game but lord this game has the absolute worst base running ai you will ever see in your life. It’s not unusual for all 3 of my outs to come from appalling baserunning and I wish there were a toggle to make it more conservative. It’s hard to watch. On balance though it’s a decent game outside of that. ### 1/5 — One of the most annoying games ever *2025-11-02, version 3.2.0* First off the game doesn’t even know the rules of baseball, second I have a way better team then the team I’m playing against and still lose horribly, and third your players will make the most stupid plays and mess up the entire game. This game wants to make me throw my phone out the window. ### 2/5 — Could be good *2025-10-30, version 3.2.0* This game could be really good but the AI is absolutely horrible. ### 4/5 — ゲームは面白い *2025-09-28* ただァァリーグとかが多分ないだから何々リーグとか新しく登場させて優勝したら昇格とかそう言うのを追加したらもっとやり込みたくなる ### 1/5 — Takes Forever *2025-09-09, version 3.1.2* Impossible to upgrade the stadium and put people in the seats. You would have to spend a fortune or it will take you a lifetime to fully upgrade ### 4/5 — Fix the error *2025-08-01, version 3.1.2* My issue is every time I hit a home run the guy in the outfield glitches through the wall and he only gets to third base. Also make it so you can throw people out like a real baseball game. If I hit a ball to third base he should get thrown out at first. Also don’t have them throw every all back to the pitcher. Also fix the base running please my player just got a hit and ball pretty much landed on second base and he decided to run and got himself out. Also add extra innings. Have a great day ### 4/5 — Good but…. *2025-07-20, version 3.1.2* It’s fun but I feel like you should have the option to control your players. And be able to see the fan’s opinion on the stadium ### 2/5 — Fun game but stupid ai players *2025-07-13, version 3.1.2* It’s fun but the ai is just dumb even if you have max out players they still will make stupid mistakes ### 3/5 — THE TEACHING AREA DOESNT WORK *2025-07-09, version 3.1.2* I rate it 5 stars so people can see this it would’ve been 3 stars It’s a really fun game but the players are dumb and so as the teacher so I got this game a month ago and my first game was not even close runner on 2nd weak hit pitcher gets the ball throws to 1st and then the runner on 3rd goes to home our 1st baseman throws the ball to the pitcher 4 days got a teaching area and it didn’t work ### 1/5 — Game is horrible *2025-07-02, version 3.1.2* The players have no brain cells and when safe at first they run to second for no exact reason so you can’t even win one game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Baseball Logic Nonexistent *2026-07-29, version 3.3.1* As others have said, this is a baseball simulator game made by non-baseball people. The baseball logic in the game is aggravating at best as this is the primary way to make the most money in the game and does not work. The “epic” and “legendary” players have no influence on the RNG as a level 10 with 1 contact and power will homer off a level 85 “epic” player. As one can expect from a subpar idle game it’s designed to keep your progress slow and waste time. Just an FYI the 3B and SS is incapable of throwing to first base without throwing to the pitcher first. I’ve also seen the center fielder throw to the left or right fielder instead of second. It is unplayable until they fix the baseball logic. The stadium builder is the only semi redeeming part. ### 1/5 — Out of their minds *2026-07-14, version 3.3.1* Nobody plays this game who do y’all think y’all are charging 150$ for a legendary card. Y’all need a reality check. ### 1/5 — Why so high?? *2026-06-25, version 3.3.1* I used to be able to play this game, I played it all the time but then I found out, its 17+ and couldn’t play anymore. I played it so much and I don’t think it was inappropriate, my brother plays it a lot, he just celebrates a lot. I’ll give a honest review if you lower the age restriction to 12+ at least ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-12, version 3.3.1* Whoever created this knows nothing about baseball. Awful experience. ### 1/5 — Low IQ AI *2026-05-25, version 3.3.1* I constantly laughed how horrible AI plays baseball. Like not running towards the ball and runner running bases and then stopping when he can clearly run all the way home and outfielder not moving towards a pop up that lands next to him. lol ### 1/5 — bad baseball *2026-05-23, version 3.3.1* the "baseball" logic of base runners and fielders is absolute garbage, makes game unplayable for anyone who knows anything about baseball ### 1/5 — Boring game *2026-02-09, version 3.2.0* Honestly, it has a decent concept for a game, but the execution is poor. There are times where the game would freeze and you are unable to do anything. Once you reopen the app, the game resets. The ai models for the players are literally braindead and the rules need to be reworked. The runners decide to run on the worst times and make the worst game decisions possible. I would have liked to see more hands on gameplay and a way to experience the games rather than watch them. Overall not worth my time ### 1/5 — Your ai programing is awful *2026-01-14, version 3.2.0* Let the player control the players to make throwing to bases better because its stupid my player has to run back on the preset spot they stood at to make a throw it ruins the game ### 1/5 — Poor mechanics *2026-01-12, version 3.2.0* Listen to the reviews and I promise this game will be good it has the potential but yall developers just need to listen to the people actually playing after yall do that this game will be SO much better and actually fun to play like even a 5 year old wouldn’t wanna play this game the way it is rn. ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2025-12-19, version 3.2.0* Worst game I’ve ever played. Game just sucks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — IBMT Updates you should do *2025-07-15, version 3.1.2* First you should add a thing on start a next match where you can either pick to play the match or watch the match and maybe make the ball fly up into the air cause it doesn’t look like baseball without it and maybe add more umps in the other places of the field like baseball and maybe make the players dive for the ball as well and maybe some more stuff from baseball well that’s the entire review thank you and make the game look good and listen to people cause they are trying to help you get more people to play your game like other people do. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2025-06-03, version 3.1.2* I love baseball and this game just is so much fun for me you can just make your own arena ### 5/5 — Worthyb *2025-01-13, version 3.0.1* Needs more updates. ### 5/5 — The game is Great! Make a tackle football version of it *2024-09-29, version 3.0.1* I love your game and I hope you can make a tackle football manager lbie I know it could be a lot of work but its worth it to make the game once your done with the game release it at the time of October 6 2024 thank you! ### 5/5 — Not much ads *2024-08-19, version 3.0.1* Normally when I play these type of games I get a ton of ads but not here and it’s great highly recommend ### 5/5 — Tragedy at second base *2024-08-01, version 3.0.1* I have been playing this game for about half a year now and have built up quite a team. But in the middle of a game something that is very unrealistic happened as one of my players touched second base. The opposing team caught the ball as my player TOUCHED second base and the umpire called “Out.” I think that you should add some more realistic features to the field so other players don’t have the same tragedy as I did. ### 5/5 — Please make USA league *2024-07-17, version 3.0.1* I try to find all of the USA teams but I can’t find them all please put 51 state’s included dc a player must choose original or USA league ### 5/5 — Good *2024-06-28, version 3.0.1* Baseball is fun ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-06-24, version 3.0.1* Best baseball game I’ve ever played ### 5/5 — Great gameplay but please reply dev *2024-06-16, version 3.0.1* Its good but three things wrong 1.Terrible decisions…The player is throwing the ball to third base then my player starts running. 2.Need more packs… It’s fun to get so many players but after two or three weeks you almost have every single player. 3.More upgrades on players…The highest I saw was 38 but It could probably go to one hundred. (Suggested)A youth academy. Thank you developer for this game. 😃 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
