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. ### 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!!!! ### 2/5 — Fun…but then it messed up *2024-11-17, version 9.4.0* Played this game for 3 years when I wanted to relax and had made such good progress. The other day the game reset and I lost all my levels, etc. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Something happened around Nov 10 2024 *2024-11-15, version 9.4.0* This game is broken. I lost my level rating and everything. It won't log in via Game Center. Hopefully they fix it ### 1/5 — GARBAGE GAME FULL OF BOTS *2024-11-08* ITS A SCAM GAME FULL OF IDENTITY THIEVES ITS BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN 100 percent ### 2/5 — NEEDS A LOT *2024-10-30, version 9.4.0* This game is fun, but multiplayer is laggy, there’s no skill base match making. You basically lose everytime since you can’t hit the ball as far as others. There’s just no point in multiplayer at that point. ### 3/5 — Needs update *2024-10-25, version 9.4.0* For some reason, I can’t play the multiplayer game. I press multiplayer, but it goes back to the home page. ### 1/5 — SCAM FULL OF BOTS DEVELOPERS GREEDY SCUM TRASH *2024-10-23* MULTIPLAYER IS SETUP. ITS COMPUTER PLAYERS. NOT REAL PLAYERS.

THEY R VERY DISGUSTING HUMAN BEINGS. COMPLETE RAT SCUM OF THE EARTH. This game has been tested now… it’s a fact they’re frauds. THE MULTIPLAYER IS NEARLY ALL COMPUTER AI PLAYERS IT IS NOT REAL PEOPLE ITS A COMPLETE SCAM. SETUP TO MAKE U BUY STUFF. U CAN B LEADING BY 10 RUNS AND HIT 25 RUNS IN A GAME.

ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE A CHALLENGE UR TRYING TO COMPLETE. the ads they run r illegal fraud companies as well. Should b ashamed of themselves disgusting beasts of the earth rats… JUST FINISHED PLAYING A MULTIPLAYER GAME THE PLAYER WAS A LVL 1200 VERY LOW RATING PLAYER. THEY HIT 34 HOMERUNS.

Should b ashamed of themselves disgusting beasts of the earth rats ### 1/5 — Not maintained *2024-09-24, version 9.4.0* So this game was super fun and I was loving it…..but now it’s been 3 weeks and there’s still no card packs in the market which is how you upgrade your batters. So basically you can’t progress and improve any players and are stuck. I’ve sent 2 emails to support and got no response what so ever. I’ve heard on Reddit the people managing the app now aren’t even the original ones and they don’t care if it’s functioning properly or not. This seems very true after this amount of time. So it’s a uninstall for me. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2024-09-22, version 9.4.0* The last update is terrible! Can’t hit more than 10 homers in the opening rounds of a derby, the pitches are all junk, you follow a normal progression through a derby game, and no packs have been available all week? Are you all asleep at the switch? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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... ### 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. ### 1/5 — GARBAGE GAME FULL OF BOTS. REVIEWS R BOTS. NOT REAL MULTIPLAYERS THEYRE BOTS *2024-11-27* ITS A SCAM GAME FULL OF IDENTITY THIEVES ITS BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN 100 percent. GAME HAS BEEN GLITCHING OUT REALLY BAD.

VERY DISAPPOINTED ### 1/5 — Can’t purchase Season Pass. *2024-11-26, version 9.4.0* Yet another issue with this game. It was fine for a long time. Recently it’s become horrible to try to play. Now you can’t purchase the Season Pass. You’d think the thing that makes them money would be the one thing that always works. Guess not. ### 1/5 — Absolute Joke *2024-11-26, version 9.4.0* The game is full of glitches. You hit light structures and don’t get a home run. The season pass half the time you can’t purchase or doesn’t even show up after your purchased one runs out. The tabs in the game to purchase card packs hardly ever work either. Their customer service is an absolute joke. They do nothing to help you or answer your questions. Told them about the game issues and they are still there. The MLB being a multi billion dollar company is an absolute joke. They are scamming people out of their money by putting out a joke of an app. I’d recommend finding a different home run derby app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed and Frustrated *2024-11-25, version 9.4.0* I’ve played and played this game, and have had a blast doing it!! But it has glitched for the last time on my phone. I’ve purchased the season pass multiple times and it will not even load my player profile now and allow multiplayer mode. ### 1/5 — Bad! *2024-11-24, version 9.4.0* Terrible mechanic’s just plain awful!!!! What a joke!!!! This is so much worse than the old game, and it wasn’t all that either! Thought you’re supposed to better on a sequel game guess not!!!sad developers won’t even accept my review!! ### 1/5 — GARBAGE GAME FULL OF BOTS.

I still love this game it is a gem. ### 5/5 — HR Derby *2024-10-18, version 9.3.9* I love the game but there are too many times that the uniforms won’t unlock and clog up,the card packs ### 5/5 — Good game to pass time *2024-09-17, version 9.4.0* Great game for passing time would an could be way better if the rewards were greater than average, make it a slug fest an knock em on back ### 5/5 — Really good game *2024-08-17, version 9.3.9* You can choose your player i’d choose aaron judge,shohei ohtani,juan soto or bobby whitt jr. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-06, version 9.3.9* Can you fix the Daily deal packs they aren’t working Also I think for the multiplayer games you should calculate it buy how many home runs you hit for the Tiers because I hit almost 700 home runs in one day ### 5/5 — MLB Derby is goated!!!! *2024-08-01, version 9.3.9* Great characters, even better Experience!
