Great but no expansions
Mon May 10 2021 Mert in GAI just got this game the day before yesterday, and I love it. I’ve played countless games, and this game is so good that it’s difficult to put my iPad down. I would have given the app five stars but for a couple things. Firstly, expansions. I have the base game AND the big league support expansion. This game doesn’t have any expansions. Secondly, there’s no option to play a “full game” so to speak. In every game, one player has to be the batter and one player has to be the pitcher. I usually play full innings, not just the bottom. It helps that I have an expansion. PLEASE FIX BOTH, BUT ESPECIALLY THE EXPANSIONS.
Professional game, fun and worth the price
Sat Oct 21 2017 K’s KrapI want to amend my original review which is below. Playing campaign mode is so different and so much more fun than the solo games against the AI. It’s opened up a whole new world for me and I cannot get enough. (Original review) It’s a fun game, certainly original and so amazingly well done but (and this is a big but) the dice rolls feel far from random. In fact, most times I can guess what the roll is going to be depending on each situation. Not saying the computer is cheating, but after a dozen games there is definitely a pattern.
Fun but
Thu Oct 03 2019 Mr.CigarI think an equal strike six should at least be a contact hit. The campaign is very defense favored as far as what you can hit. So basically if they roll a s 6 it only matters if you have two strikes otherwise just take the strike and don't bother rolling. Other than that pretty fun, some more players with different stats and traits would be fun.
A Tedious Waste of Time and Money
Sat Dec 09 2017 JcoaxDo you enjoy watching paint dry? This game may be too spicy for you. What a truly boring endeavor. Since it somehow costs $5, I have really tried to put extra effort into enjoying this game, but I simply can’t. It’s the opposite of fun. The game play is excruciatingly slow. If you actually manage to put a ball in play, then you seem to have to keep rolling until you get thrown out. Nothing about this game is well done. There are blobs that are meant to be players. I assume that’s a reference to whatever horrible board game this is based on. I want my money back. I promise to spend it on something more exciting, like watching grass grow or perhaps a glacier race.
Broken with no support
Fri Jun 01 2018 JeremySextonA big part of this game is being the first to roll a five or six. However, when you roll a five or six after someone’s made contact, the game doesn’t register it. Then you lose. Rinse, repeat. I took video of the problem, sent it to tech support, never even got so much as a response acknowledging they were looking into it. Aside from being broken at one of the game’s core mechanisms, it’s a really well done app. If they fix this issue, it’s an easy 5-stars. Until they do, it’s basically unplayable.
Good game...but results of a hit are no better than a coin toss.
Thu Apr 23 2020 Evi1DeadLove the campaign mode of this game. Trying to strategically wear down the pitcher to increase your odds of getting a hit or a walk is a blast. However, once you get a hit, it’s basically just a toss of a coin as to whether or not you’re safe. I’m sure it’s random, but the computer sometimes goes on a tear and throws you out numerous times in a row (I counted it to 14 once). This is just annoying...it seems better to get a walk than to actually hit the ball.
Potential for fun, rigged dice.
Sun Jun 24 2018 Chrispy777I’ve played about 20 of games of this game, and while the concept and game mechanics are great, I must be either the unluckiest guy ever, or the dice are very rigged. About 1/5 of my hits land me on base- statistically they should be 50%. When I predict the pitch it’s always a ball, when I don’t it’s a strike that gets modified to a 6. I’ll reroll to match or beat a 3 three times and fail often. It’s just frustrating to make all the right in game decisions and lose repetitively to being incredibly “unlucky”. I’m sorry I purchased this game and would not recommend it until we get a dice coding fix.
Random Number Generation favors CPU
Wed Jan 20 2021 Sk8dad843When playing manager mode, the CPU rolls S-6 (which is an automatic strike) 92% of the time. This is statically impossible. With two 6 sided dice to roll S-6 seven times in a row. Each time the batter guesses pitches and gains bonus effects. The game throws S-6 or B-6 (automatic Ball) therefore negating you bonus effects. It’s infuriating when playing against the computer. If you do get the chance to “crush it” the CPU rolls a 6 to steal your home run. I love the board game but the computer version is definitely skewed against the player.
