World League Baseball Reviews

Yes, I would recommend World League Baseball to everyone.

I like how they have you build teams up. I hate the gameplay, after 7 games played, still no closer to getting down the timing at the plate, other than I know I swing too early at everything. My advice, get a game like SMB4 where you actually know what is happening at the plate instead of closing your eyes and hoping for the best(I can hit in that game and it's prequels), I can hit in The Show, loved me some Power Pros back in the day. I can hit in pretty much every game I have played since Hardball 2 on the Commodore 64, but this one is a massive challenge that I am not sure I am willing to admit defeat on, but even at it's best, the gameplay isn't that great

YO play this game! Pros - Online play is quick 1 inning, you start with a guy on 2nd base you win loose or draw. No micro transactions, you are rewarded by winning and advancing leagues! Simple to learn, hard to master. Cons - No leader board to show online ranks No custom team making, names, logos that jazz No way that I have found to invite a buddy for a friendly game Current que time for online game averages 2 minutes i've never hit the 3 minute mark at least. Overall The game is worth the price, hopefully they add these things and a few other things like a club system for people to join their buddies. They also need a tourney system just more competitive things in general as mentioned above leader boards. Good foundation for this game in place if they implement ideas similar to this it will be a GREAT game. Instead of a Good game. https://www.twitch.tv/cheese_prophet come watch me play if your curious about the game ^

This game is full of microtransactions and ridiculous mechanics. You would have much better luck and controls on a mobile game. If you choose to buy this then I have a bridge to sell you.

Gameplay is cool but there's some menus that are in Chinese, made it feel unfinished so I refunded. I'll check back if they give it some updates.

This is a lame attempt at a baseball game that plays more like a mobile phone app. There is a severe lack of features and major bugs that will most likely never get addressed. One of the main issues I encountered is that disabling auto-throw in World League mode causes fielders to not be able to throw the ball. They just stand there while you press the appropriate buttons for them to throw to the bases. You can disable auto-throw in exhibition mode and then manually throw to the bases, but not in World League mode. Another issue with the auto feature is that there is no way to disable fielders from auto-fielding. Therefore, all you can really do in this game is pitch and hit while the fielders automatically field everything. Another problem with this game is that 95% of your hits end up being an out. Either that or you strike out because the timing is incredibly unforgiving at the plate, even on so-called beginner difficulty. And speaking of difficulty, I was also unable to change the difficulty after starting World League once. There is also no true practice mode, nor can you edit and change the gender of players. I also didn't care for the confusing mobile game like XP charging system. The developer also does not seem to respond in the Steam discussions. I would seriously pass on this one and play the Super Mega Baseball series instead.

If you enjoy Super Mega Baseball or Powerful Pro, this game is for you, don't think about it twice. Especially at this price. I was on the fence on paying $15 for a game with little information but when it went 50% off, I had to take the risk. I'm an offline player and enjoy simulation and this has become my favorite game I've purchased this year. The season is only 10 games. If you're on the top spot, you are promoted to a higher league. I think there's 6 leagues, I'm currently on my first one. I'm guessing if you end up at the bottom you are demoted. Be careful when asked for your team name, there's no spaces allowed. You can only change it once for free, then you will be charged with gems. Uniforms/stadiums can be changed but it will cost you gems and they are hard to come around. At the end of every season they give you a loot box, which will include the gems, coins and new players. Some are major league ready some will need some training. Game is all around enjoyable. Games last around 10 minutes. It's very addicting, you'll keep saying one more match. My only complaint is that there is no trades, I'm hurting for a Catcher and with the loot boxes, it's just luck. They don't charge actual money for the loot boxes, you unlock coins by doing what they say, for example simulating 3 games gives you a prize, finishing a season gives you a box and so on and so on. Which is cool, keeps you playing. My only other complaint is the lack of customization for players. You'll run into a duplicate every game, this happens also in Powerful Pros but at least in that game you can change their hair color or name. I haven't been able to see that here. I had a pitcher pitch a gem for me, went against another team and he was pitching for them. In the future it would be cool to edit the players. Games only go up to 10 innings and it ends in a draw, which is cool and the game also has a mercy rule.
