Idle Baseball Manager Tycoon 4+

TOP Tycoon game but…

This game is tons of fun to start with. The team dynamic where you can level the players up and upgrade your stadium is exactly what I love out of a tycoon game. Along with the expected features of a tycoon game, this app goes above and beyond by actually simulating a baseball game inside the tycoon experience with unique actions every hit depending on player levels.

My only complaint with the app (probably cuz I’m a baseball player myself so I’m too picky) is a lot of the runners on my team don’t know when to stop running. There are times they beat out a nice ball to 1st base, but if the ball dribbles a centimeter over the foul line they try to swipe second base only to meet a dismal end. Same with balls that dribble right in front or behind second base.

This really being my only complaint, albeit a frustrating one, displays why this game is so highly rated, and with a quick fix in the game play mechanics this game as said in other reviews, could be a top game in the App Store.

Bad

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.

Players play like they’re drunk

This is like someone watched baseball once and decided to make a game. Players make crazy decisions like trying to stretch infield hits into doubles or trying to steal when they’re right next to an infielder with the ball. You’re just as likely to get the other team out because of their stupid base running. You save for hours to get a rare player and it seems like it’s always a duplicate (or “dublicate,” as they call it). You have no control over the players, you just have to watch them stumbling around, running into outs. You have to finish first in your league to get promoted, and the clinching game is suspiciously hard to win. After winning three out of four games, I’ve restarted over twenty times trying to win the final game and can’t do it. I’m able to win three out of four but then can’t score a single run in 20 attempts? Imagine the odds on that! Be prepared to watch hours of ads if you want to win any games. No idea how this got 4.6 stars. The reviewers are like, “players keep getting thrown out for no reason. Five stars!” On top of all that, the economics don’t make sense. In most games like this, it pays to upgrade your infrastructure. In this game, I buy new stores, upgrade tiers, but it never seems like a good return on investment. I wish I had more hands so I could give this four thumbs down!
