Is there a fix for this? ### 3/5 — Frustrations *2025-01-28, version 9.4.0* I have been playing this game for years on my iPad and all of a sudden, like 3 weeks ago, I can no longer play multiplayer. “Loading tournament data” over and over. All the other functionalities work fine. The kicker is the issue does not happen when playing on my phone using the same account. This review would 5 stars if I didn’t have this issue. ### 1/5 — Smashersz Cheat. *2025-01-26, version 9.4.0* If you go up against a bot named “Smasherz” and he hits a home run at the beginning of of your swing, another when your ball finally land, and then another before you can hit the next pitch, don’t feel bad. It’s a cheating bot that’s being used. How does the game expect you to beat anybody when someone can make unrealistic hits. Also, how does the number 1 ranked player have a Rookie Badge? ### 1/5 — Can't open settings *2025-01-18, version 9.4.0* The settings icon is so far up in the right corner of the screen that I can't open it...and the music is super annoying. Unplayable... ### 5/5 — A fun and addicting game *2025-01-09, version 9.4.0* I love this game. The only thing I would change is to have more legends in the game. ### 5/5 — 5 out of 5 stars *2025-01-06, version 9.4.0* Great Game ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2025-01-05, version 9.4.0* This game is AWESOME and very entertaining for all ages. It builds a love for baseball and you can play as your favourite players (mine is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.). In the game you can collect baseball cards and uniforms and other equipment. try it out. ### 3/5 — Glitch *2025-01-03, version 9.4.0* There’s a glitch with the cards! Instead of saying unlock in two hours, it’s saying unlock in 59 days!!!! How about you fix your game!!! It’s been four months!!!! ### 1/5 — GARBAGE GAME FULL OF BOTS. REVIEWS R FAKE.NOT REAL MULTIPLAYERS THEYRE BOTS *2024-12-25, version 9.4.0* ITS A SCAM GAME FULL OF IDENTITY THIEVES ITS BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN 100 percent. ADS R FROM RUSSIA AND CHINA. THEYRE STEALING UR IDENTITY AS A MATTER OF FACT. DEVELOPERS ARE PIECES OF TRASH SCUM FRAUDS. GAME HAS BEEN GLITCHING OUT REALLY BAD. ALL CARD PACKS DISAPPEARED DOZENS OF TIMES NOW. ITEMS I PAID FOR. CARD PACKS, PLAYERS, EQUIPMENT LIKE BATS CLEATS GLOVES HAV DISAPPEARED. IM USING AN IPAD BRAND NEW 6MONTHS AGO. VERY FAST 200mbps INTERNET CONNECTION. ITS NOT MY SYSTEM ITS THIS TRASH GAME. CONTINUALLY RIPPING OFF ALL MY PURCHASES. I PLAYED HUNDREDS OF HRS TO GET THESE PLAYERS ETC… IT KEEPS GLITCHING OUT THEN MY BOUGHT ITEMS R MAGICALLY MISSING. NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. U WILL ONLY B DISAPPOINTED. MLB ORGANIZATION SHOULD B ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. DEVELOPERS NEED TO FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. AT THIS POINT ITS A FRAUDULENT SCAM APP THAT STEALS FROM GOOD HARDWORKING PEOPLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED ### 1/5 — One of the worst games ive ever played *2024-12-23, version 9.4.0* The timing on the swings is honestly terrible. If you swing at the right time its a line drive if you swing days early somehow its a 530 bomb atleast. Developers have no clue how swing timing works and its honestly embarrassing how much this game has downgraded overtime. 0 stars if i could. ## Frequently asked questions about MLB Home Run Derby Mobile ### What is MLB Home Run Derby Mobile?
