MLB 9 Innings 25 4+

Good game, but…. Hitting Metrics

Honestly this game is fantastic, it is the mobile version of MLB The Show. The only thing it’s missing is the Conquest Maps and challenges for certain players. I really think the game would do better with these features rather than the Arcade mode, or Clutch Hits mode. But, that’s just me being picky. There are a few things I would change other than game features which again, is just a preference. I think that there should be more opportunities to upgrade gold players to diamond players because for the most part, there is none, other than a few once in a year opportunities. Another thing that I would change and it REALLY effects gameplay, is the hitting metrics. For example, I can get perfect timing on a fastball right down the middle and still ground out to the shortstop, vice versa I can get late timing on a curveball inside on the dirt but rope in down the line all the way to wall. I don’t really understand that and it’s very frustrating because it confuses you on which pitches you should really be swinging at. It’s almost like every swing you take is a lottery system on what the result will be, I hope to see this fixed very soon. These are really the only issues but again, I think this is a very good game and any baseball lover should download it because you will play for hours once you finally figure everything out within the game.

It can be better but I still love the game

I love the game it’s fun but way to expensive to even be able to barely compete. I haven’t gotten a diamond prime player since I’ve started playing and even if you spend $100 on a pack it’s still not a guarantee you’ll get a diamond player let alone a decent rated player. To many of the same bronze and silver cards come back and forth and that’s frustrating cuz money isn’t always easy to come by let alone spend it on a game that’s not guaranteed to get what you think you deserve for paying that much of a price!l They could at least give you what you pay for and even gift you a rare pack or two every once in a while to keep the game interesting and keep you motivated to play. Sometimes the algorithm will completely destroy you in Master game mode even when your players are extremely better than your opponents. For example, when I’m pitching no matter what I throw they are able to get base hits consistently and when I’m batting even if my swing is perfect my ball barelt makes it past infield and it’s immediate 3 outs…..and every ball you may hit outfield the player is automatically in that exact spot where it’s going and that’s extremely unrealistic but I still love the game and love playing it just wished it was a little better in gameplay experience compared to actual baseball games and not so expensive to barely be able to compete!! Overall I give it 75!!

Almost Perfect

This game would really benefit from a difficulty setting: Beginner/Intermediate/Expert. My biggest criticism is that it’s just too easy. Too many blowout victories, not enough real challenge. Sure there’s an occasional defeat, but it’s too easy to land in 1st place and stay there for the entire season. I’ve heard that if you play through multiple seasons, the game gets harder, but you shouldn’t have to do that. As amazing as this game is in so many respects, the lack of difficulty makes it pretty boring. The thought of having to play through several seasons or more just to experience tension akin to the real thing is dreadful. I’m tired of everyone on my team batting over 400. It’s too easy to become overpowered. I want to struggle, I want to claw my way into 1st. I want it to really feel earned. Bring in some realism at the onset through a difficulty setting, and I’ll be excited to play this game again. Also it would be interesting if players could get injured and are unusable for a certain period of time. This is hands down the best-looking baseball app on the market, no complaints when it comes to the visuals, but I think there’s room for improvement when it comes to challenge, which is related to fun factor. Winning all the time without that much effort just isn’t fun.
