### 3/5 — No Opportunity To Win

*2026-08-04, version 1.5.0*

Games by this developer used to be lots of fun with possibilities of playoffs after a few seasons. Now, after a series of updates, these games are too difficult. Whether it’s running out of money or having no good players available. It is too difficult to have any kind of realistic success equivalent to the team you have created.

### 3/5 — Just ok

*2026-07-05, version 1.5.0*

the trade interface is like really the only complaint I have like nothing ever goes through you have to pretty overpay like crazy just to get something done

### 4/5 — Pitching and Coaches

*2026-06-26, version 1.5.0*

This game is so much fun and the building of your team through scouting and international signings is great. The only thing that really needs changing in my opinion is being able to scout coaches. It’s crazy that you can scout all kinds of players but not coaches and with how important chemistry is in this game, scouting coaches would be a massive help. Also why do almost all of my starting pitchers go 7+ innings even though they have given up 8 runs through the first 3? I need to be able to change my pitchers out so they aren’t just getting killed the whole game with no true ability to fight back. If those 2 changes are made, this game would be the best baseball manager game out there.

### 4/5 — Great and Fun but needs some additions

*2026-05-30, version 1.5.0*

This game is heaven sent. This brought me and my dad closer as father and son as we would play this game as soon as he got home every day, and it was the best! However I wish there was some additions. I got a couple ideas if possible I would like an email to give some suggestions to how to game could be more immersive and the fun of the game can last longer. Thank you!

### 3/5 — ok but some strange mechanics

*2026-03-11, version 1.5.0*

Revised review:
I’ve played for a few months now, and the game can be a lot of fun. There is a large emphasis on team chemistry. I have found matching coaches and player styles generally out weighs all other attributes. 
The one thing that is bad about the game is the stats are totally unrealistic. The new legacy challenges that were added are near impossible. I have won the league 3 years in a row and never achieved more than one legacy goal. 
A legacy goal once was to win 150 regular season games…in a 162 game season. 
I’m also stuck on the owner goal of 140 regular season wins, which also seems impossible. So I’m kind of just stuck not improving.
Its also really frustrating to have great bullpen pitchers who never enter the game, even after a starter has given up 5 home runs and pitched 7+ innings.

### 3/5 — Good but some easily fixable flaws

*2026-02-15, version 1.4.0*

It’s a fun game and you can adjust the difficulty to whatever level of challenge you want.  There are some really irritating features though.  The fact that players can play any position is pretty silly but can be worked around, but some of the challenges are borderline impossible.  Coaches in particular are ridiculous - there are never 5 star coaches available to hire and by the time you’ve played 20 seasons there are none left so getting your average coach rating to 95 is basically impossible

### 3/5 — ok but some strange mechanics

*2025-11-23, version 1.4.0*

I want to really like this game. However, the player retirement seems very random and unrealistic. A 1st round 1st pick CF, 5 stars, can decide to retire after playing two seasons when he is 22 years old.

### 4/5 — Finances

*2025-10-11, version 1.4.0*

The game is fun but I find it frustrating when I get in financial trouble I can’t cut my minor league players to progress…I’m just stuck in the middle of the season

### 4/5 — Cool game but 1 problem

*2025-09-24, version 1.4.0*

I started playing this again and I created a new dynasty, but why can’t I claim anything from the free pass or daily rewards? I’ve played this in the past and never had this problem. I’ll select the reward it says claimed but when I get off it the notification is there and it doesn’t give me the reward. I made another dynasty to see if it would fix and it didn’t. Please let me know how to fix this

### 3/5 — They want your money

*2025-08-16, version 1.4.0*

Fun game but unless you pay, it’s near impossible to have enough game money or training points to succeed.

### 5/5 — A lot of fun

*2025-06-20, version 1.4.0*

Focus on scouting and train the 5 star player (hint: attributes with numbers ending in 4 or 9 should be upgraded in x5 or x10)

To the developers, what are GOAT League games and why can’t you covert legends to coaches? There are no more than a handful of 5 star coaches in the league at a time and every time you upgrade they get stolen

### 3/5 — Fun to play but………

*2025-06-04, version 1.3.0*

Not enough training points or motivation points for as many players that are on the team then you include minors.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pay to Win

*2026-08-11, version 1.5.0*

Been playing this for about a week now, I love these kind of games but this one is extremely frustrating and there needs to be some sort of bug fix. There is literally nothing you can do in this game to get an advantage, you can spend more, custom fit the difficulty and salary cap, make all the right moves and yet somehow the other teams set on “easy” mode are as good as the Dodgers. Even if you spend money, it will not give you an edge. There is huge potential with this game, but feels mostly like a cash grab.

### 1/5 — Free editing

*2026-07-13, version 1.5.0*

You can freely edit team name but not the players please make it free to edit the players

### 1/5 — Demotion only under 22?

*2026-07-06, version 1.5.0*

Im sorry, this makes no sense at all and is highly unrealistic. Whats even better is the game starts you with players that are super old in the minors and players that are hilariously bad but are just barely over 22. It makes no sense. I used to play the game a ton and pulled away from it. Due to the demotion rules, it's gonna get uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Paying Customer Nothing changed

*2026-03-08, version 1.5.0*

There were no changes from part 2 this franchise is a disgrace. I would encourage anyone to save their money these game creators don’t invest into their own product. Worst baseball game I’ve put money into by far

### 1/5 — Paying customer

*2026-01-23, version 1.4.0*

As a paying customer this game needs an overhaul… So much potential ruined by unrealistic metrics trying your hardest not to get trademarked in no world Will you find a Black German named Suarez smh. That’s one for two the person who made this game can’t be a real baseball fan what’s the point of having backups if they don’t even play unless someone is injured? What’s the point of having relief pitchers if my 79 overall 5th starter is playing 9 innings? Why can’t we go to the bullpen instead of watching our pitchers get tired and shelled? This isn’t the 1920s no pitcher is playing 9 innings ever game once again unreal metrics

### 1/5 — Impossible Structure

*2025-11-20, version 1.4.0*

Really awesome game which makes this so much worse. It’s literally impossible to survive more than a couple seasons and not get fired. Unless you spend money in game. If you make your team even slightly competitive, you will lose money because your salaries are more than your income because all of your facilities start at ground level. So the only solution is to tank for a couple seasons while building up the facilities. That’s what I was doing and had poured hours into this game and was finally starting to turn the corner, when I got fired. So that’s it. Game over. I can start a new one and waste more time but I know I’ll just get fired again. So what could’ve been my favorite app/game is now an app I will have to delete. Thanks for being so greedy.

### 1/5 — UI is not appealing

*2025-09-25, version 1.4.0*

Can you guys go back to the original baseball field UI?

### 1/5 — It’s like a job not a game

*2025-06-28, version 1.4.0*

You have to pay to make things good. And the only you can win is to pay too. Pay to win game.

### 1/5 — Way too hard

*2025-05-10, version 1.3.0*

I’ve tried 3 different sports from this developer and it’s the same with all of them. It’s basically impossible to win without paying it seems like.

### 1/5 — Unnecessarily hard

*2025-03-25, version 1.3.0*

The show I can win enough even on the hardest level. But this game unwinnable. The lie that players who got your coach is just that a lie. Teams with higher ratings consistently outperform you. The game would be slightly better if you had an advantage developing minor leaguers and drafting. But unless you want to pay to upgrade stuff you basically take wild guesses in the draft and hope you can find a few that are a fit. There must be better options or someone should make one

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-08-17, version 1.5.0*

Please update like you did you football and basketball soon. I want hall of fame tracker in this game and player goals even after peek like milestones. Also need to fix to make the stats more realistic

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-06-28, version 1.5.0*

We need a college version of this next, like please, one needs to happen!!!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-16, version 1.5.0*

I think the only thing you guys should change is make it easier to get better with out going broke but I do like the game and you guys still deserve 5 stars

### 5/5 — Un buen juego!

*2026-06-14, version 1.5.0*

Excelente juego, para las personas que le gustan los juegos de estrategia y para los deportistas. A mi me encantan los juegos de deportes, administración, estrategias, finanzas y empresas y esto lo tiene todo. Me gustaría ver más actualizaciones, más situaciones.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-04-21, version 1.5.0*

We need a college version of this next

### 5/5 — Ideas

*2026-04-09, version 1.5.0*

Really like this game I feel like there should be gm tales like how there is in the basketball and football games

### 5/5 — Add ability to change pitchers

*2026-01-22, version 1.4.0*

There needs to be a way to swap pitchers during a game or the coach needs to be MUCH more responsive about changing pitchers. My SP was in and let up 7 runs in 1 inning 😑 why would a coach leave a pitcher in after 4 or 5, and why don’t I have the ability to put in my RP?? I gotta just watch 7 runs go by in 1 inning for no reason

### 5/5 — Almost perfect…

*2026-01-04, version 1.4.0*

Just a few things to refine a super fun and enthralling game, in game options to sub players, like before my Starter gives up 12 runs after going 8 innings. Also, the numbers are a bit over inflated, and it would help to separate season and post season stats. Its still the only game of this kind that mostly gets it right.

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-01-04, version 1.4.0*

Please update like you did you football and basketball soon. I want hall of fame tracker in this game and player goals even after peek like milestones. Also need to fix to make the stats more realistic

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-12-30*

Great game and challenging game, he’s not very easy to climb the ladder in the ranking and win titles.

**Developer response:** Hello, we appreciate your review! Thank you so much for granting us 5 stars.
