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.

I haven’t had this much fun playing baseball since an old board game with circular disk cards as players, and a spinner to choose the at bat results. The developer focuses on what makes a game FUN. Very easy controls, but so much variation in the results based on YOUR skill. Best of all, the developer is one of the good ones, letting you try it out and then, if you like it, PAY ONE TIME to unlock everything. (So tired of these coin games and forced ad-only games!) LOVE this game! It has quickly become my #1 favorite.

There are some VERY annoying bugs. Deep fly is a chance to wait at base, tag, and go for home (if player stats show high intellect and fast). Smart/fast runners never attempt a steal either. Really bad: player gets a hit (safe at 1st), runner scores, then a 2nd runner gets picked off at 2nd. Not the 3rd out, yet scores are not counted! Scream! No way to replace fielders mig-game either (except pitcher). And if a pitch “hits” the batter, they should get a walk.

But even with all that, the game is so much fun and addictive. I’ve only had it for 3 weeks and already played multiple seasons.
