Our Expert Score

88/100

Pixel Pro Baseball is an absolute gem for anyone who grew up with 8-bit or 16-bit sports games but wants the depth of a modern simulation. The developers at Pixamo have mastered the 'easy to play, hard to master' philosophy. The batting mechanics rely on timing and precision, while the pitching requires a strategic approach to outsmart the AI's hitting patterns. It’s one of the few sports games on mobile that doesn't feel like it’s just a series of menu taps; you actually feel the weight of every swing.

The inclusion of both a Dynasty Mode for full team management and a Designated Hitter mode for a single-player career provides incredible longevity. In Dynasty Mode, managing rosters and trades feels rewarding without being overly complex, while the DH mode offers a more personal, RPG-like progression. The pixel art is vibrant and full of character, and the physics are surprisingly realistic for a retro-style game. If you're a baseball fan looking for a premium experience that respects your time and skill, this is a must-download.

Game Is great but could use a few updates
Thu Aug 08 2024 Shane1456

This game is a amazing retro baseball game. But I think you can make some tweaks to make is even better. First, a option to pick whether one team is a cpu or if both are a cpu or if both are a player. CPU vs CPU, this would be a two teams versing but cpus controlling both much like how cpus control the team you verse. But in this you get to watch the teams play. Player vs Player, in this mode both teams are controlled by you or a friend next to you. In this mode you can choose to either pitch for both teams or hit for both teams. This mode gives more freedom to the exhibition mode. You should also be able to choose which which team is home and away in exhibition rather than you being away every time. Second, more customization. This is something needed in this game. We can customize team names but now we should be able to customize uniforms and player names. Uniform customized needs to be added in some form. This would allow so much more freedom and make the game like other top tier retro games. Make it so in franchise you can customize other teams too. I think as a option for people you can customize other teams players names, force trades between teams and cut players on other teams. All these features would be optional so you don’t have to do it and franchise can still be played the regular way but with more freedom. I think these changes can definitely make pixel pro baseball the baseball version of retro bowl and be a amazing game.

Potential…

Love this game. Addicting, simple, easy to learn, hard to master. That being said, it does run its course fairly quickly. You hit in a game, you practice, you hit again… Or with dynasty mode, you hit and pitch and hit again. I think there are some easy to implement mechanics/features that would add significant depth. One, it would be great to have a box score after every game showing the players, their hits, rbi’s, errors, etc. Otherwise, it is hard to judge your team on a game to hame basis. Two, allow for control over base runners. I hit a deep drive ip the third base line and my character stops at first when i could easily make second or third. Additionally, allow for additional base running off of opponent errors. If they throw to first and the first baseman misses the catch, I want to benefit from the error. Three, please please please allow sac flys. If a runner passes home on a sac fly the run is not counted. It’s maddening. Four, some sort of simple upgrade mechanic for your players/designated hitter. This could make the practices more rewarding than just hitting for the sake of hitting! Five, some sort of reward for completing the optional hitting challenges given by your teammates coach and girlfriend. Money? XP? Anything is better than a “good job!” Six, make money useful for something. Buying new gear? Upgrading your team? Hiring/firing coaches? Something is better than nothing. Just some thoughts after playing for a few weeks.

Amazing hitting/pitching, could be perfect with some updates
Tue Jul 09 2024 Trustywaffle

The pitching and hitting feel is really great in this game. It nails that experience, and that alone makes it one of the best mobile baseball games I’ve played. So good, in fact, that I am willing to look past some of the weaker aspects of the game like the bad fielding/baserunning AI and the game skips over some of the details of the game. The complete lack of bunting, sac flies, and ability to make throwing and baserunning decisions is a bit perplexing. The press-hold-release-tap throwing method for pitching feels great though, as well as the simple tap for hitting. I do wish the difficulties were a bit more balanced, my ideal would be normal difficulty pitching mixed with easy difficulty batting. On easy I was blowing out opponents 16-1 regularly, but on normal I found it near impossible to string enough hits together to score runs, but the pitching challenge felt about right. Should mention there are some light franchise mode elements, which I did enjoy. Nothing too overbearing, but it was fun delving in and signing players and customizing my team a bit. While I have a fair amount of complaints about the game, the core of it is really good and something to certainly build off of. I feel a sequel or some updates to this game could really make it the de facto best mobile baseball game. Well worth spending the $4 to remove ads, I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth of enjoyment out of this game. Despite a few shortcomings it’s still the most fun I’ve had playing baseball on my phone.

Fun to play, missing key elements
Sun Jan 30 2022 RichB711

This is a very fun, but still falls into the time waster category for me because of key items missing that should be a part of any decent baseball game. I love the pitching and hitting itself - easy to learn and complex enough to present a challenge without getting frustrated. It has an extensive features for trades, free agents, and playing with minor leagues. The unfathomable issue is that it doesn't present a box score for each game and you can't see any history for games other than the final score. Stats can be viewed by team, season or career, which is great. But game level stats are just a must have for any baseball game in my book. There is also no pinch hitting, no stealing, no ability to see player stats during the game. I could live without stealing I guess, but no pinch hitting? There are also key errors in how things are scored. I have players on my team with an OBP that is lower than their batting average. That is literally not possible if the scoring is being done correctly. Bugs crop up too - I have a starting pitcher I traded for and use every 5 days, but all his stats say zero, so I can't really gauge how well he's doing. There is also a glitch where the opposing pitcher sometimes starts a pitch and then resets, then quickly pitches again. That would be a balk, but is probably a bug. Also, they don't account for the infield fly rule, which has burned me with a double play on multiple occasions. Overall, though, I'm still playing so it must be pretty fun. If I could get a box score, pinch hitting, and they straighten out some of the incorrect stats and handling, I'd jump it to 5 starts.

No Updates!
Sat Oct 22 2022 FutureNFLStar

The game is super awesome because of the franchise mode, something no other baseball mobile quite does as well. I like the game a lot but it feels like it has never been updated. The AI is some of the worst that I have seen the base runners especially it is usually fine but there are times where they turn back to go to the previous base even though they are almost at the base. Then thy get out for no reason. Also it feels like everything goes foul. If I am just off by a little bit it goes foul. Especially when I crush the ball too. I swear I have hit like 20 home runs in 5 games just to see them go foul. Also the pitching is a little too easy. Like the batters just won’t swing at all sometimes, it is weird. Also what is the point of having minors league teams if you don’t even use. As a major league team I can’t call anyone up from the minors. Whenever the draft happens the players just end up straight on the major league roster. I think that the fact that there is a franchise mode and the fact that it is not to hard to beat bad teams and very difficult to beat good ones is also a massive strength. The game could be improved so much just by making the AI not retarded. That being said the game has sky high potential, they just need to make it more realistic and clean to play. Especially if you are going to make us pay to get the full game.

No Consistency
Fri Sep 06 2024 lilmoatsy

This game has potential. It’s fun and has a unique dynasty mode. However, I don’t think whoever made it knows some of the rules of baseball. If a ball hits the first or third base, it is a fair ball, not foul. If runners are on base and a ball gets hit into the air in the outfield, the runners should be tagging up and running, not going halfway unless it’s on their side of the field. There are lots of small inconsistencies like runners running at different speeds at different times after a hit or when fielding a ball and pitches counting as balls vs strikes. The biggest inconsistency is the fact that when you hit a ball in the same spot on the ball marker, it’s not going to the same spot of the field. Sometimes it goes left or right, sometimes it’s a fly out or groundout, it’s just kind of luck. There should also be a different method to hit balls, as this one you need your thumb to be tapping the screen fast in order to hit, but you can’t see where the pitch is moving. There is also no getting hit by a pitch, even though I technically would have multiple times. Another thing is the practice pitches need to be strikes, especially when you’re supposed to be trying to hit a home run in 5 pitches, it becomes 2 pitches when the other 3 are terrible pitches.

Why???
Sat Nov 13 2021 lil tecca 6969

The game concept overall isn’t terrible I really like how you can play with minor teams, but the fact you have to pay for most of the teams and pay for every other customization is kind of annoying. However the main problem is the game play I would give the pitching 4 stars easy to learn and rewarding when you time it right but that’s the only good thing about the gameplay. On fielding I would rather have four year olds fielding they constantly miss catches and throws and move like they have 2 torn acls. Although frustrating it is nothing compared to the hitting even though I selected rookie because it was my first time playing I have still gone 15 games without getting a hit I’ve only made contact a few times and every time it was a pop up or foul ball. Changing the difficulty doesn’t do much for making it harder it just makes them throw more strikes. I can’t tell what I am doing wrong because it seems like I’m right on every ball. I would give 1 star if not for minor league teams. Not to mention you have to watch ads every few outs. I would recommend not getting this game unless you’re up for a big challenge or just want to rage

Fun game plagued with terrible AI and glitches
Thu Sep 15 2022 Kadorja

So tl:dr this game is very fun but the AI will usually leave you extremely frustrated and the glitches will screw you out of a season win. There are a few minor glitches and the one I’ve seen the most often is a runner called ‘safe’ on base and then randomly getting called ‘out’ without any further movement. Also not a glitch but I wish there was a little better depth perception to the pitches. Change ups are nice and slow with good movement but it’s so hard to predict when it’s going to cross the plate. Any fast ball that moves from the pitchers dominant side to his opposite side looks like a comet flying across your screen. You barely have time to react but a fastball with no lateral movement is easily predicable. However the biggest issue is the AI. Expect any basemen actually on base to watch a slow roller creep into the outfield like an elderly man on a walker while the outfielder sprints in to make a play. You will not… I repeat will not make any double play in this game. A ball can zip right to the 3rd baseman for an easy out and then instead of throwing it to 2nd he will either run towards second himself or toss it to the short stop who will eventually toss it to the 2nd baseman about 2 feet away from him. Rundowns are an awkward thing to watch play out. Sometimes they end up as an embrace as both runner and basemen jog towards each other and high five in the middle. Oh and don’t expect your runners to tag up on a deep fly ball. They just short of halfway to the bag and then run right back to where they came from. Plus many… many more. However, it does feel nice to have that come from behind perfect home run or trying to play small ball to move runs in. Just don’t expect your AI to put in any of the work.
