"Manage Your Team in Bitball Baseball's Low-Res Simulator"

Ah, baseball. The vicious swing of the bat, the crack of wood meeting leather, and the smell of questionably edible hotdogs. Is there anything more American than the baseball diamond? As someone from the UK, I wouldn't know. But I do know that many of us wouldn't mind managing our own team in the major leagues, and Bitball Baseball lets you do just that.

Don't expect high-resolution unreal textures from this game, though. Bitball Baseball is rendered on a charmingly low-res scale. You'll get a view of the entire field and a crowd of pixelated fans as your players compete against rival teams, racing for the base after every hit.

As for features, you've got virtually everything you'd want from a fantasy sports simulator. Trade your players, customize your team and lineup, build a world-beating stadium, and grow a dedicated fanbase (or exploit them with ticket prices). The premium version allows you to customize the names and appearances of your players, and even create your own custom team.

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 for being transparent 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 just a few weeks! Be sure to pre-register on Android or iOS and get ready to hit the field.
