Your player’s baseball career keeps moving, even when the app is closed. Widget Baseball is a single-player career simulation built around your Home Screen. Create a fictional player, choose how they train and compete, then follow every game, promotion, award, and turning point from the app or widget. TWO WAYS TO BEGIN • Start as a Pro Create a hitter or pitcher, complete five initial training sessions, enter the draft, and begin your first 143-game season the next morning. • Start in Youth Baseball Begin in first grade and progress through 12 in-game days. Choose training priorities, schools, and career paths; face rivals and injuries; chase regional titles and Koshien; then carry the same history and abilities into the pro draft. A CAREER THAT MOVES WITH THE CLOCK Games progress automatically from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. One real day is one pro season—or one school year in the youth career. Open the app whenever you like to review every result and decision. FOLLOW THE ACTION FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN The medium widget shows your player, club, current level, season progress, recent results, key stats, goals, and major career events. With two player slots unlocked, place two widgets and choose a different player for each. BUILD A COMPLETE BASEBALL STORY • Hitters, starters, relievers, and closers • Fictional Japanese and North American clubs • First Team, Farm Team, Major, and Minor careers • Trades, free agency, contract decisions, promotions, and demotions • Postseason series and the World Series • Detailed season and career statistics • Awards, records, milestones, rivals, and retirement stories • Optional Game Center rankings for season, career, amateur, and individual-stat records • iCloud backup through Game Center Saved Games, plus manual save export and import LANGUAGE SUPPORT Switch between Japanese and English on the title screen or at any time in Settings. The selected language is also used by the widget. FULL ACCESS — ONE-TIME PURCHASE The free version includes one professional player and the youth career through elementary school. The non-consumable Full Access purchase permanently unlocks junior-high and high-school play, a second simultaneous player, and overseas free agency for all current and future players. Full Access is not an ad-removal product. Optional special-training sessions require one rewarded video each for both free and paid players. Regular games, statistics, widgets, and normal career progress do not show ads. No account is required. All teams and players are fictional.
