Ah, baseball. The sound of a bat cracking against a ball, the aroma of questionable hotdogs wafting through the air—is there anything more quintessentially American than the baseball diamond? As someone from the UK, I can’t claim to know, but I do recognize that many of us dream of managing our own team in the major leagues. Enter Bitball Baseball, an upcoming super low-res baseball simulator that lets you do just that.
Don't expect high-resolution, Unreal Engine graphics here; Bitball Baseball embraces a charmingly small scale. You'll oversee the entire field and a crowd of pixelated fans as your team competes against rivals, dashing to the bases with every swing.
In terms of features, Bitball Baseball offers everything you could want from a fantasy sports simulator. Manage your team, trade players, customize your lineup, and build a world-class stadium to attract a devoted fanbase (or maybe just hike up those ticket prices). If you opt for the premium version, you can further personalize your experience by customizing player names and appearances, and even create your own custom team.
Take me out to the ballgameWhile baseball simulators may not be as mainstream as football or American football franchises, there's no denying the universal appeal of this sport. I commend Duckfoot Games for their transparency about what's included in both the free and premium versions of Bitball Baseball, details they've clearly outlined on the game's storefront.
Mark your calendars—Bitball Baseball is set to launch on March 12th, just a few weeks away! Be sure to pre-register on Android or iOS to get a head start on your hits.
