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.

街を歩いて、選手と出会う。あなただけの少年野球チームをつくろう。 「野球スカウト」は、現実の街を歩いて選手を見つけ、仲間に加えて育てる位置情報ゲームです。 ■歩いた場所が、出会いの場所になる 公園、駅前、通学路。いつも通る道に選手が現れます。 声をかけて、名刺を渡して、仲間になってもらいましょう。 同じ選手と何度も出会うと信頼度が上がり、星が増えて強くなります。 ■話しかけ方で結果が変わる いきなり名刺を渡すか、もう少し話してから勝負するか。 契約書を切れば成功率は上がりますが、貴重な道具です。 「ここぞ」という選手にどう挑むかが、このゲームの一番の楽しみです。 ■チームを組んで、リーグ戦へ 集めた選手を守備位置に配置して、街のライバルと対戦します。 勝つとコインとランキングポイントが手に入ります。 2週間ごとのシーズンで上位に入れば、区リーグから市リーグ、県リーグ、全国リーグへと昇格していきます。 ■47都道府県、すべての街が舞台 訪れた場所は記録として残ります。 旅行先や出張先で出会った選手は、その土地の思い出とともに図鑑に残ります。 ■遊びやすさへのこだわり ・スタミナはありません。遊びたいときに遊べます ・無料でも最後まで遊べる設計です ・広告は自分で選んで見るものだけ。突然の全画面広告はありません ・選手はお金で買えません。必ず歩いて出会います 実在の球団名・選手名・ロゴは使用していない、完全オリジナルの作品です。 ※ 位置情報を使用します。取得した位置は端末の中だけで使用し、サーバーへは送信していません。 ※ 歩きながらの操作は危険です。周囲の安全を確認してからお楽しみください。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 野球スカウト at none against Widget Baseball's 1. 野球スカウト also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
