Excellent, easy to play franchise mode and solid overall gameplay. There are moments when you can feel the game start to rubberband the difficulty, but if you take a step back and focus, you tend to come out on top
Baseball is the most boring sport to watch but a very fun sport to play
This is about best-in-class for modern baseball on PC. It feels great to play, can run on just about anything, and has a pretty good sense of humor (the name Knox Oxensocksen makes me laugh every time).
The mechanics are surprisingly deep for how casual it is, too. The franchise mode has an interesting way of 'casually' handling free agency/development/etc. I wish there was a bit more depth to it, and I wish there were about twice as many traits that characters could have to make them feel a bit more unique, but it's not by any means lacking as it is. Just something to make up for the fact that SMB3 doesn't have real players. Not that I would want them, really. I think they'd just kind of take away from how interesting and wacky everything is in this fantasy world of baseball gods.
It goes on sale a lot, runs on almost anything, and can't really 'age' because it doesn't use real players or statistics. If you want a baseball game on PC, this is the one you want.
Wait, this game doesn't adhere to the saying "speed doesn't go into slumps," so 0/5.

Let me tell ya, I think baseball is the most boring sport in the world, but I love playing this game.
Was fun to make all my friends and play a season. Not a big baseball person but this one was a good experience. The pacing is good - I expected the games to drag a bit more but they didn't at all. Fun stuff!
A fun and deep arcade baseball game that stands entirely seperate from similar titles in the sports genre. No microtransactions, no BS, all good sportsball fun. As a big fan of baseball I find myself enjoying the gameplay and ruleset of this game more than any others I have played.
