- Bitball Baseball is an upcoming super low-res baseball simulator
- Manage your own team, hire players and build a world-beating stadium
- Enjoy it for free, or purchase premium to create your own custom team and players
Ah, baseball. The vicious swing of the bat, the crack of wood meeting leather and the smell of speciously edible hotdogs. Is there anything more American than the baseball diamond? I wouldn’t know, I’m from the UK. But I do know that plenty of us wouldn’t mind managing our own team in the major leagues, and Bitball Baseball lets you do just that.
Don’t expect hi-res unreal textures from this though, as Bitball Baseball is rendered on a suitably small scale. You’ll get a look at the entire field and horde of pixellated fans as your players duke it out with rival teams, racing for the base after every swat.
As for features, you’ve got virtually all you’d demand from a fantasy sports simulator. Trade your players, customise your team and lineup, build a world-beating stadium and grow a horde of dedicated fans (or gouge them for ticket prices). Purchase the premium version to customise the names and appearances of your players, and edit a custom team overall.
Take me out to the ballgame
Yes, the baseball simulator is a sub-genre of the more popular football and American football-type franchises, but there’s no denying the universal appeal of this sport. I also appreciate developers Duckfoot Games not being coy about what comes in the free and premium versions of their release (even listing it on the storefront!)
You can check out Bitball Baseball when it’s expected to release on March 12th, in merely a few weeks! Be sure to pre-register on Android or iOS and get in your hits.
