Astonishing Baseball is back for a new season! Astonishing Baseball (AB) is your daily dose of baseball management simulation on your smartphone or tablet, and for free, with no ads. Become the coach/manager of an astonishing sports team full of stars, and as the GM, lead your players to the ultimate reward: the Baseball Cup! Astonishing Baseball is not your usual baseball manager game. It's not only about tables full of stats and WAR projections. It's not just trading players and signing free agent stars, or upgrading your ballpark. In Astonishing Baseball, you're writing your own coach story with one goal in mind: win the Baseball Cup. And for that, you'll need to become a great GM/manager. It's like a narrative roguelike sports game! * A living world Astonishing Baseball features a deep lore in a fully-customizable world. Sports fans are posting about the game and your brand new rookie. Reporters write articles about your closer's performance in the 9th inning. Players send you messages about their concerns, their contract... Or maybe they're inviting you, the coach, for dinner! * An All-star lineup at the ballpark Astonishing Baseball allows you to create the team you've always dreamed of. Make trades with the greedy other teams of the league, or sign free agent stars during the offseason. Draft talented prospects and train them to the rank of baseball stars during the Legends Contest. You're the manager! * For baseball fans and stats nerds Astonishing Baseball is very easy to learn. If you know the game rules, you'll know how to play and become a manager! But if you're a sabermetrics savant, you'll find all kind of stats to satisfy your nerdy instinct, from cool charts to WAR projections! * Play on your own terms Astonishing Baseball simulator can be played offline, as much as you want. You don't need to wait or watch an ad to play games. You don't need a data connection or Wi-Fi to save a game result. You don't need to create an account to build your team. You don't even have to pay! * Get international Not enough talent in your league? Send your local scouts to find the best prospects in the world at their local ballpark, and then invite the most promising player to your team! A Prodigious Story Create your own player and follow his adventures through high school and college. Will he join the Emerald University of Seattle, or travel to Japan to study baseball? Can he find love, and keep his best friend close while becoming a local superstar? Play through dozens of events and storylines until your young prodigy joins your team! * A fierce online competition Even if the entire solo mode can be played offline, you can also decide to play online anytime against other managers, and play games in one of our many multiplayer modes! Try to become the King of Baseball in the Astonishing Contest, or conquer the title of World Champion. Except if you want to play with friends, and go on a road trip with your guild to conquer ballparks! * A Tremendous Rivalry Maybe you're going to have success with your team, but at the top of your fame, a talented coach might come to steal your throne! Will you be good enough to get him out of this league? But beware, because the Dargor family is ready to sabotage you. * New challenges await you In AB, you can play one of our many scenarios! Go back in time to manage the famous 1927 superstars, or try to rebuild Detroit in extreme mode! *My Franchise Player mode Start your own career and upgrade your player to become the best in the world! Sign with sponsors, unlock new skills and meet new friends. This is your career! If you like baseball, fantasy sports and baseball coach simulation games, you'll love Astonishing Baseball Manager!

A MUST DOWNLOAD GAME!

After getting bored with fantasy baseball, I searched for apps to play. I became addicted to Tap Sports MLB and then the idiot company sold out to another idiot company which destroyed the game within a year of purchase. Then I found Astonishing. DO NOT HESITATE TO D/L THIS GAME! The game is truly amazing! You’re the GM, Coach, etc and assemble your team. You can play multiple teams or “saves”. The best part? IT IS NOT PAY TO PLAY! After months of playing AND winning, I made my first store purchase yesterday, not because I needed to, but because I WANTED to. The developers don’t make it impossible to win and to enjoy yourself, which is extremely rare with these apps. PLUS, when was the last time you ever interacted DIRECTLY with the developers? There is easy access to ask questions and get answers straight from the team! It’s basically a genius design! Also, it can be played offline but if you want a daily bonus (freebie after 10 days), you’ll need a Wifi connection for maybe a couple of minutes. If you love baseball management games, THIS IS IT!

I have been playing this game consistently for the past couple of years and I love it, however I think that there could be a few improvements to make it better.The contract negotiations don’t make sense, a player that was a one time all star will always want 20 million despite performing badly for three years consistently. Why should I pay a poor performer that much money.The legends system is also something that could use work, you get a legend for two years for free that’s cool. You lose me with how they are perceived by other teams, no matter what their performance or contract is if you try and trade them the other teams will say it’s a bad contract. If this player is a legendary as they are made out to be then shouldn’t teams be clamoring to get them on their team.The trade system is pretty good until you try and trade for multiple players, teams overvalue two players that are mediocre compared to an all star. If I can get an all star on my team for two decent guys I’m taking that trade. All stars and legend as well don’t seem to have huge trade value as well which seems weird. Maybe giving a trade worth meter for players could solve this.I feel that the amount of money you get for making the playoffs and winning the baseball cup is not enough considering that the opponents money spending is much higher if you look. Your opponents can spend what seems to be around 225 million a season while your stuck at 165, giving a little bit more for winning the cup and making the playoffs could make the difference. This would also give you the chance to get more free agents or keep those players that you previously couldn’t due to cap concerns.I hope that this review could help make the game even better than it currently is, still love what your doing here though.

Best simulation ever

Downloaded this game in the back seat on a 7 hour card ride and it was exactly what I was looking for. A game to make the time go by quickly. Except I can’t stop playing it. So many different exciting game modes and features, team building is great, game simulations make sense and has consistency. Not too easy, not too hard, the game has the perfect balance of winning sometimes but not every time. Sometimes I get so caught up in this game when I’m home that I gotta go through and make sure I’m not forgetting about anything in my real life… Thank you to the creators. You guys did an awesome job with this game!

I like it a lot, but the more I play it, the less I understand it. I’ve played 4 seasons, and after making the championship game in my first season, my team has gotten worse every year despite picking up what look like good players and drafting good rookies. I even threw the dec a few bucks for training points, bought a few coaches and probably wasted a bunch on training players because I just don’t understand it. The coaches are expensive and just give you a single ambiguous line on how to improve, without offering any real advice. I wish I could love the game, but it just confuses me too much, and there isn’t any advice online about how to improve your team. Will probably set the game down for now.

Hey Sev! Sorry you're finding the whole experience confusing. I think the help tries to offer some clear explanations, but if it's not enough, you can always send me an email, and I'll be super happy to analyze your team! You can also join our Reddit, or our Discord. Hope to talk to you soon! Aerilys
