What players say
Players say this is a faithful rerelease of a childhood favorite that holds up as a real baseball game with approachable mouse controls and surprising strategy. Some report occasional bugs like broken batting practice or missed home runs, but the core loop of building a team of little kid pros and winning the World Series keeps people playing for dozens of hours.
