Pixel Pro Baseball 4+

This game is a lot of fun. One of the better mobile baseball games I’ve ever played. Paying for the full version is worth it- as it unlocks a variety of features that improve the experience such as longer seasons (20, 50, and 162 games) and customizable team names. It’s pretty cool that you can also play as minor league teams. The mechanics are perfect and easy to learn, and the difficulty levels are not too hard or too easy.

That being said, what holds this game back from being truly great is the bugs and AI. The game itself is not glitchy, however there are points where base runners will cross home plate, but the run will not be counted.

The largest issue this game has, however, is the AI defense. I’ve experienced countless brutal AI baseball IQ decisions, such as misplaying easy fly balls, bad base running, and pitching changes at weird times. It’s frustrating to not be able to control your own baserunners and miss out on scoring runs because of bad base running. Being able to control who advances would help a lot.

The game is super awesome because of the franchise mode, something no other baseball mobile quite does as well. I like the game a lot but it feels like it has never been updated. The AI is some of the worst that I have seen the base runners especially it is usually fine but there are times where they turn back to go to the previous base even though they are almost at the base. Then thy get out for no reason. Also it feels like everything goes foul. If I am just off by a little bit it goes foul. Especially when I crush the ball too. I swear I have hit like 20 home runs in 5 games just to see them go foul. Also the pitching is a little too easy. Like the batters just won’t swing at all sometimes, it is weird. Also what is the point of having minors league teams if you don’t even use. As a major league team I can’t call anyone up from the minors. Whenever the draft happens the players just end up straight on the major league roster. I think that the fact that there is a franchise mode and the fact that it is not to hard to beat bad teams and very difficult to beat good ones is also a massive strength. The game could be improved so much just by making the AI not retarded. That being said the game has sky high potential, they just need to make it more realistic and clean to play. Especially if you are going to make us pay to get the full game.

This game has potential. It’s fun and has a unique dynasty mode. However, I don’t think whoever made it knows some of the rules of baseball. If a ball hits the first or third base, it is a fair ball, not foul. If runners are on base and a ball gets hit into the air in the outfield, the runners should be tagging up and running, not going halfway unless it’s on their side of the field. There are lots of small inconsistencies like runners running at different speeds at different times after a hit or when fielding a ball and pitches counting as balls vs strikes. The biggest inconsistency is the fact that when you hit a ball in the same spot on the ball marker, it’s not going to the same spot of the field. Sometimes it goes left or right, sometimes it’s a fly out or groundout, it’s just kind of luck. There should also be a different method to hit balls, as this one you need your thumb to be tapping the screen fast in order to hit, but you can’t see where the pitch is moving. There is also no getting hit by a pitch, even though I technically would have multiple times. Another thing is the practice pitches need to be strikes, especially when you’re supposed to be trying to hit a home run in 5 pitches, it becomes 2 pitches when the other 3 are terrible pitches.
