Skipper: Baseball GM

Bottom of the ninth. Two on. Down a run. You're at the plate. Skipper is a baseball franchise game you can actually play. Step into the box when it counts, call for the closer when it matters, and build a club that wins for decades, all in a retro pixel ballpark. STEP UP TO THE PLATE When the game is on the line, the view drops behind home plate. Watch the windup, read the pitch, and tap to swing. Time it perfectly and drive it into the gap. Swing early and you pull it, late and you go the other way. Lay off the slider in the dirt. Your hitter's ratings still matter, so build a lineup that rakes. KEY MOMENTS: A WHOLE GAME IN ABOUT THREE MINUTES Skipper sims the quiet innings and stops when the tying run is aboard or the game hangs on one pitch. You bat in your big spots and run the bullpen in theirs. Prefer every pitch? Watch the full game instead. DAILY CLUTCH Every day brings a new late-game situation, the same for everyone. A walk-off chance. A one-run lead with your starter running on fumes. Rally from behind with two innings left. One try per day. Keep your streak alive, climb the Game Center leaderboards and share your result. RUN THE WHOLE FRONT OFFICE • Set your lineup, defense, rotation and bullpen • Trade with 15 rival clubs that know what their players are worth • Draft prospects and develop them in your farm system • Sign free agents within your budget • Meet the owner's goals and your payroll grows. Miss them and it shrinks. A REAL BASEBALL ENGINE Every game is simulated pitch by pitch, tuned so full seasons produce believable batting lines, strikeout rates and standings. Sim a day, a week or the whole season in seconds, then dig into box scores, league leaders and career stats. A PIXEL BALLPARK THAT FEELS ALIVE A broadcast camera follows every drive to the wall. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the ballpark organ and fireworks when one leaves the yard.
