WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

A baseball game you don't play

You never swing a bat or throw a pitch. The career moves anyway.

Zero baseball controls

No reflexes, no technique. Weekly training menus, fatigue and injury risk, contract negotiations — only your decisions shape the stats and the career.

No hidden numbers

Growth formulas, per-at-bat probabilities, injury risk, fielding error rates. All of it is published in-game, so whatever happens you can check exactly why.

Peak at 27, downhill after

Nobody improves forever. The back half of a career becomes a race against falling numbers for career totals — and when to retire is your call too.

A YEAR IN THE LIFE

A season that actually feels like a season

The year isn't a list of numbers. A baseball year has landmarks, and this one has them too.

FEB

Spring camp

Gamble on a swing change or a new pitch, or play it safe. It sets the tone for the year.

MAR

Opening roster

Preseason form decides who breaks camp. Start in the farm and you climb from there.

JUL

All-Star break

Fan vote and manager picks. Make it and your popularity jumps — and sponsors notice.

JUL

Trade deadline

Fall out of the plans and offers arrive. Chase playing time, or stay and fight for the job.

SEP

The stretch run

In a pennant race or playing out the string — your team's situation changes how you're used.

OCT

Postseason

Short series, big stakes. One hit here echoes in your nickname and your next contract.

NOV

Contract talks

Use this season's highlights as leverage — or bring in an agent to do it for you.

DEC

Offseason

Personal training, life off the field, the overseas free agency call. Then you turn a year older.

HOW IT PLAYS

One player, twenty years

From the draft to retirement, everything that happens is a consequence of a choice you made.

Decide what each week is for

Pick your training content and intensity, then advance a week. Push hard and you improve — but fatigue raises injury risk and drags your condition down. That tug of war never stops.

  • Fatigue, condition and injury risk are all visible numbers
  • A fresh weekly goal, plus a condition trend graph
  • An auto-advance option keeps things moving on busy days
Main screen: choosing this week's action

Traits and pitches, not just ratings

Talent points decide what kind of player you start as, then training earns you traits. Pitchers build an arsenal from 17 pitch types; hitters fight for a spot in the order and a role in the field.

  • Catcher, infielder, outfielder, pitcher — and two-way
  • 8 traits and 17 pitch types mean no two careers line up
  • Growth slows deliberately as you approach your caps
Player abilities and traits

There's a life off the field too

Teammates and rivals, your manager's trust, an agent, sponsorship deals, scandals, and everything from a first meeting to marriage and children. 133 events drive the part of the story that isn't baseball.

  • Title rivals are real simulated players, updated week by week
  • A buddy, a nemesis, a manager who trusts you — relationships affect playing time
  • Popularity and sponsor income: value that isn't in the box score
Career stat trend charts

Every formula, published in-game

Why aren't the hits falling? Why did that injury happen? You never have to guess. Growth, at-bat probabilities and injury rolls are all readable any time from "How to Play and Formulas".

  • Exactly how abilities convert into results is public
  • Play it by reading the numbers and building around them
Formulas published inside the game

How it ends matters too

Pile up career totals and the club stages a retirement game; your number may be retired for good. Your career rank and nickname are locked in, and Hall of Fame points carry over to your next player.

  • 101 achievements (Game Center) plus a per-career challenge
  • Your own past players become the rivals of the next one
  • Pick a post-playing path that goes on the record
All-time player rankings

SEASON CHALLENGEMONTHLY

Everyone plays the same season

Separate from the main game, a new set of rules arrives every month. A lively-ball year, a pitcher's year, an injury-prone year — whatever this month's rules are, every player gets them. Run a short career under those conditions and put your score on the world leaderboard.

  • Rules are generated deterministically from the year and month, so every device gets the same season
  • Retry as often as you like and beat your own best
  • What you earn carries back into the main game

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I control the games?

No. The career advances purely through decisions: weekly training content and intensity, how to spend the weekend, and so on. It works even if you don't like sports games.

How much does it cost?

It's free. There are in-app purchases (hiding ads, a Season Challenge pass) and optional rewarded ads. You can progress without ever watching one.

How long is a playthrough?

A main-game career covers about twenty years and is built to be played in small sessions over a long time. When you want something shorter, the Season Challenge mode runs a full career in well under an hour.

Where is my save data stored?

On your device, with iCloud backup supported. You can also export and import a backup file from the Settings screen.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Network access is only used for ads and for the Season Challenge world leaderboard.

Will there be Windows or Android versions?

Both are in preparation — a Windows version on Steam and an Android version. This page will be updated when they're out.

What happened to the browser version?

The browser demo was retired in September 2026. Please use the App Store version.
