Ah, baseball. The fierce swing of the bat, the sharp crack of wood against leather, and the aroma of questionable hotdogs. Is there anything more quintessentially American than the baseball diamond? As someone from the UK, I wouldn't know, but I can certainly appreciate the allure of managing your 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 textures here. Bitball Baseball embraces a charmingly minimalistic aesthetic, presenting the entire field and a crowd of pixelated fans as your team competes against rivals, sprinting for the bases after every swing.
In terms of features, Bitball Baseball offers nearly everything you'd expect from a top-notch fantasy sports simulator. You can trade players, customize your team and lineup, construct a world-class stadium, and cultivate a dedicated fan base (or perhaps exploit them with high ticket prices). Opt for the premium version to personalize your players' names and appearances and even design your own custom team.
Take me out to the ballgameWhile baseball simulators might not be as mainstream as football or American football games, there's no denying the universal appeal of this sport. I also commend Duckfoot Games for their transparency regarding what's included in both the free and premium versions, which they clearly outline on their 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 start hitting home runs.
