★★★★★ TOP Tycoon game but…
Fri Feb 11 2022 FksprtkrbdjddlflThis game is tons of fun to start with. The team dynamic where you can level the players up and upgrade your stadium is exactly what I love out of a tycoon game. Along with the expected features of a tycoon game, this app goes above and beyond by actually simulating a baseball game inside the tycoon experience with unique actions every hit depending on player levels.
My only complaint with the app (probably cuz I’m a baseball player myself so I’m too picky) is a lot of the runners on my team don’t know when to stop running. There are times they beat out a nice ball to 1st base, but if the ball dribbles a centimeter over the foul line they try to swipe second base only to meet a dismal end. Same with balls that dribble right in front or behind second base.
This really being my only complaint, albeit a frustrating one, displays why this game is so highly rated, and with a quick fix in the game play mechanics this game as said in other reviews, could be a top game in the App Store.
★★★★★ Bad
Fri Sep 27 2024 CarlJT1It’s got a few things that are good but most of the game is pretty bad. Players do not play baseball how you would expect. Players get upgrades for pitching throwing running etc but none of it really matters? Idk if it is the aspect of idle that you have it set up like that but you rarely win. I watch the opposing team have a player at the plate with 0 hit power and 0 hit accuracy and they somehow get at hit over the infield into play while my pitcher is at 15 out of maximum 19. I don’t really know how their stats work but it doesn’t seem like the stats of players matter at all. Running bases doesn’t make sense. You can’t throw out someone at first for whatever reason that is. Players still score while you have all the outs required to end the inning. If someone was on third no matter what they score a run. The money you spend to upgrade has no value outside of visuals. They only have one good thing about the game and it’s the system for upgrading the stadium/facilities. It’s again just visual upgrades none of it matters towards the team and gameplay but it’s the only thing I can find that’s thought out and made properly in this game. It’s kind of infuriating that you can make something like this but can’t get the rules of the game of baseball into a game that’s about baseball. What’s worse is that the things are fixable but ignored, it’s sad.
★★★★★ Players play like they’re drunk
Thu May 19 2022 Trogdor247This is like someone watched baseball once and decided to make a game. Players make crazy decisions like trying to stretch infield hits into doubles or trying to steal when they’re right next to an infielder with the ball. You’re just as likely to get the other team out because of their stupid base running. You save for hours to get a rare player and it seems like it’s always a duplicate (or “dublicate,” as they call it). You have no control over the players, you just have to watch them stumbling around, running into outs. You have to finish first in your league to get promoted, and the clinching game is suspiciously hard to win. After winning three out of four games, I’ve restarted over twenty times trying to win the final game and can’t do it. I’m able to win three out of four but then can’t score a single run in 20 attempts? Imagine the odds on that! Be prepared to watch hours of ads if you want to win any games. No idea how this got 4.6 stars. The reviewers are like, “players keep getting thrown out for no reason. Five stars!” On top of all that, the economics don’t make sense. In most games like this, it pays to upgrade your infrastructure. In this game, I buy new stores, upgrade tiers, but it never seems like a good return on investment. I wish I had more hands so I could give this four thumbs down!
★★★★★ Pretty Lacking
Thu Oct 27 2022 KingSquiidIt’s crazy that this is the same team that made Golf Club Tycoon because that game is perfect. So much customization in that game, loads of different things to purchase and make money from. Golfers you get to train and sent to events. This baseball game is so barebones is tragic. There’s literally nothing to upgrade but the stadium itself and the upgrades cost a ridiculous amount of money and barely gain you any money. The vendors are a job. Costing Somtimes millions to buy yet only earn hundreds of coins. This game is 100% dependent on you watching a x3 add to gain money from being away from the game. Atleast in Golf Club you actually could be in the game and see yourself warning money. Not to mention the baseball mechanics are god awful. Players never know when to stop running and always get throw out. And in the flip side an opposing player can run freely around the bases a lot of the time because your infielders act like they have no idea how to throw, oh and only certain defenders really ever do anything, a ball can be hit directly at the SS and he’ll just stand there on the bag and the pitcher or 2nd baseman will have to run over and grab the ball while the runner just gets easy bases. This game is absolutely putrid compared to some of the studios other titles.
★★★★★ Great App
Thu Aug 18 2022 ThatsoldiertherI’ve been playing the app for about a month now. I mostly use it to pass the time between briefs or just passing time in general. It’s a lot of fun. The only downside to it is the terrible animations your players do whenever a ball is hit to the outfield or bunted right in front of the plate. Is it really an idle game if the app doesn’t run unless I’m still on? When the ball is hit to the outfield, if it falling in the general direction of your outfielder he’ll just hold still and put his hands up and pray to god they catch it. Sometime infielder do the same thing but it is what it is at this point. Now the most infuriating thing is when the ball is bunted towards the pitcher. Your pitcher will run over to the ball, pick up the ball, RUN BACK TO THE MOUNT, and then throw the ball towards the base to try to get the out. I understand that I’m not playing MLB The Show here but they should at least be able to do the bare minimum. Oh! and it’s a serious grind to grab great players. I’ve been stuck in pro league 3 for about 2 weeks now and I just continue losing cause of these animations I constantly get and the lack of “skilled” ball players.
★★★★★ Misses the mark
Tue Mar 15 2022 heidnficuej7920264920Everything besides the game simulation is pretty good. Watching the simulated game about gave me a hernia. If the developers could fix the simulation I’d probably change my review to 5 stars.
Example: the batter hits a ball to the right field wall and is halfway to second by the time the right fielder gets to it. The right fielder picks up the ball, runs 20 feet towards the infield and throws the ball to... the center fielder. Now the runner is on his way to third, so naturally the center fielder throws to ball to... left field???? Seeing this, the runner decides to head home to attempt an inside the park home run. The left fielder eyes him down, ready to throw the ball harder than he ever has before.... to second base 😑 but the stupidity didn’t end there, because he overthrew the second baseman by a mile, and the right fielder had to back him up. So the play that took about a full minute real time ended up with the right fielder holding the ball about 80 feet closer than when he first picked it up.
I can understand the AI making some less than intuitive throws or running mistakes, but come on. Hand held games before the iPhone existed had better AI than this
★★★★★ Great Game! But one flaw
Mon Feb 07 2022 joshua_james03Have really enjoyed this game and it’s very addicting. I enjoy the player development system a lot and just the stadium itself is extremely well built. but there’s one thing that I’d like to be improved and that’s the individual seat prices. It just seems kind of unrealistic to make individual seats cost as much as they do with so many to buy. Seats should cost more than players or stands or vendors or really anything. They are the least important part of the game and make you vary little value but yet you're gonna have to pay an insane amount of money to get all the individual seats. It just feels literally impossible to get all the seats, like I’m cool with spending a couple million on a player or a stadium expansion, or a shop, or even to help train the players. But for a single seat?? It just seems so worthless when it adds very little value to the game other than It looks better to not have an empty stadium. Thanks for this good game overall though
★★★★★ Greatest tycoon game
Fri Jul 22 2022 eillkjmnBelow is what I said in the beginning when I first rated this game……… I take all of it back I can’t even get to the local games because I can’t win the stupid tournament I can’t beat a team that has all level 10. When I have to epic and the rest are rare and level 55 or higher are you kidding me? Omg I spent way to much time in this game and will probably uninstall I just play three no hitters in a row and still didn’t win. This game is impossible!
This game has an amazing play feature where you can grow your stadium and play the game of baseball. Personally I love this game and play it often I think the fact you can pay to not have to watch ads is amazing. This game is a lot of fun the only thing I have a problem with is when a runner is running to home and my catcher has the ball. If someone is running to second base he will stand on the plate and right before the runner gets there, he will throw the ball to second base rather than get the out at home. Giving the other team the run every time. Outside of that small factor this game is fun and I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time playing it keep up the good work!
