I love the mechanics and the overall basis of the game. It’s really fun to control players such as Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. Another fun feature about the game is that you can build your own dream team and battle other players online. I also love that there are so many different events all the time so you have a chance to get different players from all over the MLB including older players in the hall of fame. However getting contracts to obtain players is very annoying. I agree that the contracts should be random so that you don’t have all the best players on your team instantly. I do wish that when buying contracts using diamonds. It doesn’t cost so many especially when you really want a featured player and you spend 250 diamonds to get the first contract of a guaranteed grade 3 player then later running out of diamonds to get the guaranteed grade 4 featured player.

This is not a good game at all! When you play in matchmaking against others in the online option , it takes forever for the app to match you to play another player. Then when you finally get matched , you are instantly disconnected and then giving a lost. The icing on the cake is then they will suspend you from gameplay claiming they have detected harassment in game play because the system thinks you are the one disconnecting during gameplay. I emailed them about this issue and their response email stated that when in this mode I “should not move at all while playing on the app on my phone and further issues will result in a complete ban of using the app” Wow! So the other player disconnects during the game, I get the lost, I get restricted from gameplay and then when I contact them about this issue, rather then them fixing the issue , I am told to “not move at all while on my phone while using the app and threaten to be banned from the app. Needless to say I’m deleting the app immediately. All of the one star reviews for this app make sense now.

Rarely do I ever do reviews for games or mobile apps. But this one seems like it deserves it. Yes, it has the normal Gacha aspect to where you have to gamble for certain players but overall the game is extremely fun and is better than other baseball games. I played on the phone. The graphics are incredible. The replay system is very fun and on top of all of that the events are very well-made. There’s not very many people playing in total…..so when I’m trying to get on and play a ranked game I’ve been sitting in my kitchen for 20 minutes. Waiting to find a match, but nobody else is playing…. Bottom line the game is good and I believe should have a good basis, but because it doesn’t have enough players to keep an online matchmaking consistent. it’ll fall through pretty fast….. and I think that’s sad. Because Konami did great on this.

I’ve been playing Konami Japanese (NPB) baseball games for 30 years, so this is probably a bit biased. This is essentially the MLB version of “Pro Yakyu Spirits A,” a mobile “Build Your Own Team” version of “Pro Yakyu Spirits,” which is a realistic gameplay person of “Powerful Pro Yakyu,” which is known in the US as “Power Pros.” The good news is that the game is pretty much exactly the same as the Japanese version (down to a few awkward translations of Japanese baseball phrases 🤣). Konami baseball gameplay has always been my favorite because it shows you exactly where the ball goes and exactly where you are swinging.The one thing I wish they had kept exactly is the player contract ranks being S, A, B, C instead of IV III II I.Like the Japanese game, it can take a very long time to build up a good team, as there are at least 3 ways to level up a player to their full potential.Like the Japanese game, it’s free to play, zero ads, you only spend money if you want diamonds (which would accelerate building your team because it’s the main thing used to get new players).Anyway, it has its quirks like any mobile baseball game, but to me, the Japanese version is arguably the best mobile baseball game out there, and the MLB version has kept almost everything, definitely recommended!
