Ah, baseball. The powerful swing of the bat, the crack of wood against leather, and the aroma of deceptively edible hotdogs. Is there anything more American than the baseball diamond? I can't say for sure, being from the UK. However, I know many of us would love to manage our own team in the major leagues, and Bitball Baseball allows you to do exactly that.
Don't expect high-resolution, unreal textures here, as Bitball Baseball is rendered on a small scale. You'll view the entire field and a crowd of pixelated fans while your players compete with rival teams, racing for bases after each hit.
In terms of features, you have almost everything you'd want from a fantasy sports simulator. Trade players, customize your team and lineup, build a world-class stadium, and attract a devoted fan base (or charge them high ticket prices). Purchase the premium version to customize player names and appearances, and edit an entire custom team.
Take me out to the ball gameYes, baseball simulators are a sub-genre compared to more popular football and American football franchises, but there's no denying the sport's universal appeal. I also appreciate that Duckfoot Games is transparent about what's included in the free and premium versions of their release (even listing it on the storefront!).
You can check out Bitball Baseball when it releases on March 12th, just a few weeks away! Be sure to pre-register on Android or iOS and start hitting.
