Astonishing Baseball Manager 20 Reviews

[i] First and foremost -thank you dev and publishers for efforts made to this game- i would like to point out ,it's probably my 3rd baseball game,as i like baseball in real life.Modern Ui,simple ,straight to point,easy to navigate,background music which relax even the most hardened soldier with a cigar ,flexibility,you can custom teams,create legends,write history or simply have a casual sunday bam-bam with the leading baseball stars.Yeah,have no doubts ,this is slowly becoming one of the coolest baseball games,and dev listens to everyone and tries his best. Put your favourite cap, the gloves and grab your fav stitched ball just as i did and let's get down to innings.Oh yeah ,enjoying the sound of the crowd,the sound of the ball hitting the baseball bat ,imagine your team mates shouting and the heart beats like a drum.[/i]

This is a freemium cell phone game that does not transition well to PC. There are multiple bugs. The most glaring being: multiplayer mode doesn't work and I have to send my pitchers to the minors and recall them just to change my rotation. I thought this might be a fun relaxed version of OOTP, but I was horribly mistaken. Main Issues besides bugs: 1. Iterface It's sloppy. In order to see most statistics you have to click on each individual player profile. There are almost no charts or places to compare statistics. 2. Daily Weekly challenges A part of the freemium version moved to the PC. I think just overall achievements would be a better way to distribute training points. I don't want to play everyday just to accomplish tasks. This makes its less casual. If I wanted a hardcore baseball sim I would have bought the newer OOTP. 3. Unrealistic There is no switch hitting. When I pull a pitcher that pitcher still has to pitch to one more batter. The game constantly subs out my SP when I don't want it to, even when I set my coaching style to complete game. I should be able to turn automatic subbing off. Can't use defensive replacements. You can only replace pitchers during a game. The game also uses my designated closer constantly in non-closer situations. 4. History There is a hall of fame and records, but I did not see any way to view past seasons. Also there seems no way to see what happens in the playoffs if you don't qualify for the playoffs. Part of having a franchise is looking at past failures and achievements.
