### 5/5 — 奥が深く面白い

*2026-08-24*

当方ライブマッチランキング100位以内、ランキング対戦300位以内です。
いろいろと書いている方がいますが非常に奥が深いゲームです。
課金する事は育成する上で非常に重要です。
対人戦での配球は言うまでもなく、打撃もGOODで捉えれば良い訳ではありません。
能力差があれば尚の事、GOODで捉えるとフライ連発、ライナーになる事が多い。
上位プレイヤーは意図的に打撃タイミングをズラし、安打性の当たりを狙っています。
ランカーの方達は格上相手でも関係なく勝ちますから課金すれば上位に行けると言うのは間違いです。
技術の問題です。
技術的な解説コンテンツもありませんしそう大きなコミュニティもありませんから上位プレイヤー達のクラブ内でしか共有されておらず閉鎖的な環境である事は間違いありません。

課金すれば強くなれるのは間違いないですがライブマッチではOVR差10前後ならば技術の方が重要です。
あとは潜在能力、スキル構成も非常に重要ですし選手の打球角度も影響します。
やり込めばやり込むほど奥が深いゲームです。

### 1/5 — 問い合わせ後、運営からの嫌がらせ被害からの恫喝

*2026-08-15*

追記
散々運営のミスを付いたら、アカウント凍結するかもと連絡ありました。
また、3年前に低評価で報告した彼と同じ意見ですが、Liveマッチはほぼやる前からプログラムされており、パターンが決まっているだろう。
打つ前から相手のセカンドがセンター前に移動し、センター前ヒットかと思ったら、ボールが吸い込まれ楽々アウトになる。等
また、バッティングも相手のヒットはほぼ決まっている場合は、何を投げても、タイミングズレてても、ヒットかホームランになります。
よって運営サイドの匙加減で同じ年数やってる知り合いのプレイヤー複数はかなり優遇され、彼らを気持ちよく勝たせるために、一部の我々が負ける側、つまり生贄にされる構図。
これで課金を引っ張るビジネスモデルだろう。
とんでもない話だ。被害者の会は皆、引退していきましたし、
過去の韓国人のレジェンドプレイヤーのパーフェクトさんも運営に抗議したが、引退されてましたね。
過去の話↓
当方Liveマッチ200位レジェンドから運営サイドに問い合わせし、嘘の説明ミスにて、大被害をくらい、それを問い合わせで追求したが、無視。なかったことにされる始末。韓国人はこうなのか？
卑怯者なのか。
そこから嫌がらせ行為を受けてます。
Liveマッチで118試合連続10失点以上負け。何試合かは勝ったが、マクロか人間か不明。
とにかく
ストライク全試合連続ホームラン打たれ、全く野球にならない。
打ってもゴロ、フライ、タイミンググッドでもフライアウトばかり。相手はホームラン。
今までは勝ってた試合も少なくなり、不正になるように仕向けていると考えられる。
けして下手クソになったわけではなく、過去1番強いチームになってる状況での連敗につぐ大敗。
運営が用意したマクロにも勝っていたが、最近では俺だけ？マクロにも勝ってない。ホームラン打つように設定し、チートになっている。

アップデートするたびにに改悪で、特にLiveマッチでのマッチングが強い奴しかいない。
こちらもOVR151以上で660・660
達成しかなり強いはずが、人間相手にほぼ全敗
ストライクは全てホームラン連発。試合の流れがプログラムされていて、何度やっても数パターンにかたよる。

繰り返す

運営サイドのミスで、私が被害にあい、その件を
再三問い合わせ後、なかったことにし、返答しません。
その後、運営からの嫌がらせで勝てなくなりました。
レジェンドからほぼ1番下までランク落ちました。
大問題だろ
内訳↓
2年毎日５時間プレイして、育てたチームが、打ってもゴロ、フライでヒット0で負けまくり、
明らかに打てないようにされました。
また、投げてはストライクは全てホームラン被弾します。
全試合10失点以上です。
そんなアホな
このゲームをよくするように、問い合わせしていたが、まさかの運営からのプログラムにより、
全く打てない飛ばないイカサマで、
時間課金をかけたお客様に対して、このような仕打ちをする会社です。
今思えば
やらない方がイイですね。

ユーザーの声聞きません。

もしかして運営サイドで人員変わったのかも知れません。

なんにせよ、このグラフィックが良く、運営次第で良くなるはずが、改悪ばかりでユーザーの声を聞きません。非常に勿体無いが、
運営が無能だとこのようにクソゲー、詐欺ゲー。
ストレスしか溜まりません。
どうやら
アカウントにより振り分けされてる節があり、私と同じ境遇の古参プレイヤーは続々とアカウント削除し引退しております。
サ終した方がいいレベルかと思ってます。
または、運営の中の人間を取っ替えてリニューアルしたほうが全ユーザーのためになります。

個人的には実行して貰いたい。

まるで北朝鮮のようだ。
ミスを追求し、改善してくれればよかったのだが、独裁者みたいにこちらに不利益になるように仕向けてくる。
もはや犯罪ではないのか？
課金し、時間を投資したユーザーにこの仕打ちとは。
カムツスという会社はこのような開発者に任せて大丈夫なのか？

これは違反ではないのか
このMLBライバルズは
ソシャゲでユーザーが文句多いゲームの代表なのだが、サッカーと違い、プレイヤーが少ないことをいいことに好き放題する。
非常に気分が悪い。

### 3/5 — Algorithm need work

*2026-08-14, version 4.04.00*

Love the game but the “live” mode almost makes it unplayable. I’m barely at 113 and I’ve played nothing but 140+ teams where each hit results in a home run, almost impossible to even have a game.

### 4/5 — Mickey Moniak hit home run in Houston Astros

*2026-08-12, version 4.04.00*

Mickey Modi

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-11, version 4.04.00*

Easy to pick up and better then the show mobile

### 3/5 — Unfair and no skill but otherwise good

*2026-08-10, version 4.04.00*

I love this game I play it all the time and if you can time the time to read this whole review and not hit me with that “oh no please drop us a message” and instead just get the stuff done the, message is in here, yeah this, a review that tells you what you should fix. Ok all I am saying is just read this and fix these problems nothing else needed. So now there are four problems the first is the HOF player you get at the start .I know someone who had created a new account for this game and it gave them a choice between Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter and of course they chose Babe Ruth. What I am trying to say is that I believe babe Ruth has become a player that starters get and I feel as if that is unfair because this absolutely destroys live match. The whole purpose of live match is to play players with the same skill level as you but that purpose is defeated when your opponents team has OK players and Babe Ruth. I just think that with all of the starters getting babe Ruth I feel as if that the game has become to easy to beat but when I started I just got a random HOF player. So essentially a starter could just work their way to a few good or OK cards and just upgrade Babe Ruth and then bam I get beaten by someone with FA impacts as their best players all because they hit a home run with a no skill Babe Ruth what I am saying is that it had took me months to get a 94 OVR team that still loses a lot of games but now all these new players right off the bat get an 84 OVR Babe Ruth. So what I am saying is that new players face almost no challenge beating players like me because they have one of the most no skill required players ever. It makes the game completely unfair for people like me who work hard for good or ok cards and work triple the amount for a HOF card and these new players just get the best hall of famer instantly and dominate without having to do much work. I feel like the game should still have Babe Ruth but he should be harder to get because it has gotten all too easy for new players to get good players and even the HOF trade in requires time to do and it feels so frustrating getting beaten by someone who has like 82 OVR all because of how easy it has become for new players. Also people pay like a hundred dollars just for one random hall of famer with like 76 OVR and you end up giving the new players a choice between Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter and not only is that an obvious choice it is also crazy unfair and ruined live match and RBI battle. Another thing here. I might just chase to much but every single pitch no matter what just looks down the middle. For example i saw a sweeper get pitched to the outside corner of the bottom of the strike zone and literally as it was a about to hit that zone it out of nowhere in real time just froze for a split second and ended up like a foot below the strike zone thankfully I took it as a ball but the pitchers are completely messed up. One more thing hitting when I play against ai every pitch in the zone somehow is a ground ball or a hit it is annoying me so much that I literally started crashing out because an ai player hit a homer off me when the ball was barely even clipping the strike zone. Finally when I am up to hit I go in knowing even though I hit it good it is probably just a pop up. Because to me it doesn’t feel right that no matter how you hit it most of the time it is just random luck whether you go yard or pop out. It just is so annoying and even when I hit it hard for some reason the left fielder or just any outfielder is just coincidently out of position and is right where the ball is. Also I feel like these players move too fast I mean I saw a center fielder move like a cheetah to a line drive and catch it. And I also feel like these players move hitting mechanics rely too much on random chance and wether you guess the pitch or not I feel like these players move controls should be more like mlb the show where you can actually move the bat to the ball and not just have to click and pray that the player hits it well. Also the recommended OVR is annoying because I was once doing very well as the underdog pitching scoreless innings but my hitters all around had well timed swings but all I got was pop outs  and the other team had some pretty bad swings but somehow got base hits and line drives off a pitcher that was doing very well and that is because the game intentionally makes you lose if you are bellow the recommended OVR I had an experiment where I played league mod under the recommended OVR and did horribly but then I added a slightly better player and was on above recommended OVR and did great and dominated and I see this patter everywhere thank you for taking the time to read this.

### 5/5 — BEST GAME

*2026-08-09, version 4.04.00*

I love this game because it’s not to hard but not to easy.

### 5/5 — this game is the best mobile game!

*2026-08-07, version 4.04.00*

I love this game but how do u use abs challenging

### 4/5 — Really good but

*2026-08-06, version 4.04.00*

this is a really good game everything is great but one thing I feel like after every pitch there should be a abs challenge tab then this would be a absolute cinema of a game

### 5/5 — Coolest game of all time

*2026-08-02, version 4.04.00*

Played for two years
