Pixel Pro Baseball

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.

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.

This game is a lot of fun. One of the better mobile baseball games I’ve ever played. Paying for the full version is worth it- as it unlocks a variety of features that improve the experience such as longer seasons (20, 50, and 162 games) and customizable team names. It’s pretty cool that you can also play as minor league teams. The mechanics are perfect and easy to learn, and the difficulty levels are not too hard or too easy. That being said, what holds this game back from being truly great is the bugs and AI. The game itself is not glitchy, however there are points where base runners will cross home plate, but the run will not be counted. The largest issue this game has, however, is the AI defense. I’ve experienced countless brutal AI baseball IQ decisions, such as misplaying easy fly balls, bad base running, and pitching changes at weird times. It’s frustrating to not be able to control your own baserunners and miss out on scoring runs because of bad base running. Being able to control who advances would help a lot.
