I’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.

Firstly my team is terrible, and you can’t get any better players, second why are the players so dense, like I have seen shortstops throw it to right field because they didn’t know what to do. It has gotten so bad I have just walked away instead of watching my team play like Rec ball nobodies, the only reason I still play is to upgrade my stadium. I bet after my arena is fully upgraded to the max I will still have a garbage team. For example of my team being so bad, I have had plays were the ball is hit to the pitcher and he throws it two miles away from first and it’s turned into a inside the park home run. An example for the stupidity of the players they would just stand there in the outfield when the ball is hit to them and not move an inch and even when the ball hits the floor still frozen with there glove up to the sky, only when the runner is rounding third do they think “oh yeah I’m playing baseball” and go and retrieve the ball only to make a terrible throw to…first base🤦‍♂️. Another example would be how when there’s a grounder the first thing they do is throw it to the pitcher, also my shortstop is behind third base, not in a covering position, but quite literally standing behind the third baseman, and it’s not only shortstop it’s also second base too, but to first and not third, so I have my entire middle of the infield wide open and when it sneaks throw to center field the center fielder just walks away from the ball and goes to cover second base. So that’s how bad some of the game mechanics are in this game, please fix them.

I was optimistic about this game but that is disappearing. They aren’t even making any updates to make it better anymore. There’s so many issues with the games. Many people have already expressed how stupid the players are. Like how the ball has to be thrown to the pitcher before trying to throw someone out. Any ground ball hit, the infield has to throw it to the pitcher instead of first base. If the pitcher gets it, he has to run to the pitcher’s mound before throwing to first. Essentially, every single ground ball is a single. Many times when I get a single, while the ball is getting thrown in from the outfield, they throw it right to second base and I get thrown out. It’s just stupid how my players do the wrong thing 9 times out of 10. Another issue, if I get the third out before the runner from third crosses home, it still counts as a run. It’s not even like it’s close. He won’t even be halfway home when the final out is made and yet he keeps running and scores. That’s not how baseball works. Then there’s the point where I won’t be able to upgrade anything because it goes from being millions of coins to hundreds of billions and the amount I can upgrade doesn’t help me get into the billions anytime soon. It takes me many, many days to make any kind of upgrade because of how unbalanced the structure is. After a month or so of playing, I’ve just about had it. Most people won’t stay interested this long before deleting. They definitely won’t be keeping many people for very long.

It’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.
