MLB Rivals 4+

Unique forms of pitchers

I would like to start off by saying that this is probably one of the most realistic game I’ve played pertaining to baseball that I’ve seen on a mobile device. Though, as I’ve played this game for about a year, it has come to my attention that there seems to be a lack of a graphics update for the pitchers. It just gets repetitive every time I face a pitcher that has the same windup as the other guy that I already faced. I don’t know if getting down the unique forms of pitchers is a difficult task to do or it is just a longer process, but I really hope to see more improvement of the pitchers in upcoming updates. Besides that, another cool thing maybe can be added to this game is the “tunneling effect” where the pitches overlay each other. The idea is that two different pitches fly down the same trajectory long enough to look nearly identical through the point when a hitter must decide whether, or not, to swing. For example if I throw and fastball in game and then the next pitch is a curveball and they both overlap, it should make the batter more likely to swing at the pitch. To finish, I sincerely hope that the unique forms of the players will be added or focused on more in the future updates of this game. This is definitely one of the better games I’ve played for baseball and I usually focus on how realistic the game is.

What can make this game A LOT better?

This is really the best baseball game on the mobile platform. Yet it still has very little features missing which isn’t really a big problem, but if they were added, then it would sure make it a much cooler game for people to enjoy. What I would really love in this game are the instant replays. It would sure give people time to record last play in which they thought they were pretty awesome. Another feature I would love are home team fan reactions. For the home team, when their team makes does a strike out or makes a play against the opposing team, the home fans would have a positive reaction. But if the away team does the same thing against the home team, then the home fans will do a negative reaction. Oh yeah and make the home fans loud too. One more feature in which I don’t know if this game even has, are a batting cursor. That would give a pretty good challenge for me in the game. There IS a problem with the fans chanting the away team at the home team ballpark/stadium, for example im playing as the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park. When im supposed to hear “let’s go Phillies” instead I hear “let’s go Braves” that’s how I knew something was wrong. And that’s pretty but it. Other than all those features, this game is awesome, and I’m not forcing you add these features in which can take some time to do so.

Great game, few tweaks needed

first of all, coming from 9 innings23, the gameplay and graphics are MILES better so awesome job! here are some things that need improvement 1. league stats. this is a simulation game. realistic stats in league mode adds to the experience. unrealistic stats break that immersion. in my league mode there are 15 batters hitting over .380 avg and top HR hitters hitting +80 HRs in a season. even the best starting pitchers have +5.00 ERA. needs to be tweaked. the league stats in 9innings23 were so realistic it’s weird to see you guys fumble it now. 2. speaking of league mode, users want to experience a realistic 162 game season. why are we gated from doing that by having to beat the shortened league 7-8 times which take both time and resources? not to mention the first 162 game league available isn’t recommended until your team has +90 overall? really? you need to bring the option to choose number of games for the season like 9innings23. 3. minor complaint. during the replay of HR, it always cuts away or ends right before showing where the ball landed. we want to see exactly how far the ball went and where it landed, show it to us during replay. went a bit long but it’s only because this game is so good and has potential to be the best mobile baseball game EVER. hope to see these fixes soon.
