Read full description

Baseball Player Classic is now a baseball card collection game. Collect 204 authored players. Build a club of nine hitters and five arms. Then take only the at-bats that decide the game — the routine innings play themselves. THE HYBRID BATTLE An AI plays the ordinary at-bats at a readable pace. When the game is close and there are runners on, it stops and hands you the bat. Four calls, one pitch at a time. Skip whenever you like: skipping is the same game finished faster, never a reroll. 204 CARDS, NOT A RANDOM GENERATOR Every card is an authored player with its own ratings, position and archetype, so a card can be collected, found again, and improved. A duplicate raises that card's star rank instead of cluttering your shelf. Five rarities: C, B, A, Epic and Legendary. A CAMPAIGN THAT WAS MEASURED Twelve opponent clubs, from a trained sandlot roster up to a squad of maxed Epics. Every rung was tuned by simulating thousands of games against six reference collections, so the ladder climbs steadily instead of stopping dead in the middle. FAIR BY CONSTRUCTION • The pull odds are published in the app, one tap from the banner and one tap from the shop. • Every ten pulls contains an A or better. • A Legendary is guaranteed by the 70th pull, and the counter is on screen the whole time. • Your very first ten pulls contain an Epic or better. • On a season banner every Legendary is a featured card. There is no 50/50. • A duplicate pays shards from the first one, and shards buy the specific card you are missing. FREE TO PLAY, AND IT MEANS IT You start with enough gems for a full ten-card pull. Daily logins pay a ten-pull a week. Star ranks add flat points rather than percentages, so a well-built club of Commons beats a club of Legendaries about a third of the time and nothing you invest in a cheap card is wasted. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO SERVER Your collection lives on your phone and is copied to your own iCloud, so reinstalling does not lose it. There is no sign-in, no advertising, no friends list and nothing to join. In-app purchases are consumable gem packs. The first purchase of each pack pays double. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Major League Baseball or any of its clubs. Every player, club and city in this game is invented.
