Diamond Duel

They took away the one thing that made it fun. The way you could view the daily leaderboard is gone. You can now only see it when you are playing. The ability to see yesterday’s scores is also gone. The all-time leaderboard is also gone. The game play isn’t as smooth and it is sped up. The field seems to be shrunk. So the satisfaction of seeing the ball travel completely out of the park is gone. That tense feeling of seeing it barely creep over the fence when you are at higher pitching speeds chasing the high score is gone. I appreciate the new feature of showing my stats. I like the variety of uniforms.

I have been playing for about a year now and I have a couple things to change like how is freakin impossible to hit 150 mph pitch and I wish that there was more to do than just hitting overall great game and highly recommend it.

The game is fun and it’s very satisfying to hit home runs. It can feel challenging especially on the faster pitches. The daily leaderboard is a cool feature too. The animation is pretty sweet and I really like all the little easter eggs you discover by hitting the ball in different places. Can’t wait to see what other hidden animation they introduce. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is due to the repetitive nature of the game. It gets kinda boring after the initial couple rounds. I’d love to see them introduce a baseball game mode. Tone down the batters power so not every solid contact is a home run. Introduce offense, defense, and scoring. Make the mechanics simple. Keep batting the same. Tap to throw a strike, curve, or ball. The rest of the game is played out by computer (base running, catching, defense). I think a mode like this could boost the appeal of this game. Especially if you introduced seasonal play, custom team building, unlocking new players, player stats and growth, and eventually online matchups. The appeal of a full tap baseball game would keep me playing daily!
