New Star Baseball for Negative User Reviews
✓ Solid in conceptThe interplay between different aspects of your player’s performance could use some work. I. My most recent game I went 4/4 with three home runs (including a game winning grand slam) but ended up with one star because of my poor pitching performance. That’s not a good reflection of how baseball works. The New Star system seems like it could work for baseball, but there needs to be some more thinking for how the individual aspects work together..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Needs WorkVery fun idea, and I was a big fan of NSS so I downloaded this. At first it was fun, but there’s a couple issues. First, the running needs to be revamped because currently it doesn’t make much sense except for spamming The phone. Two, pitching can be simplified. Three, make it easier to progress through the leagues and recalibrate the rating system. My player batted above .600 which is basically a god, and hit home runs more often than not. Truthfully I wasn’t great at throwing, pitching, or running but I was decent. I should be able to progress through the league if my player is so obviously a superstar. Lastly, create a figure where you can change your character’s number..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Restore purchases?Where is the restore purchases option? I reinstalled the game and it’s asking me to pay again This game feels more aggressive for making purchases than the other. I’m in a d league and once you get past all the hand holding parts the difficulty goes through the roof. Constantly playing teams with a much higher star rating you have no chance of home runs. I ended up on the bench and just can’t get off of it. My star rating never goes up I love new star games as the mini games are always fun I just think the balance is off on this one..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Finally a game where I can just be 1 batterBeing a batter playing just my at bats as I climb the ranks is the ultimate scenario. I got a couple friends into this where we each just bat one player and fastforward the rest of the most boring sport in America. They’re hooked. So I was disappointed when I was forced to pitch, and run and catch. All of which are insanely boring, simple and dumb. So back to batting. I want to feel what a real 90 mph slider feels like. What is up with the super slow pitch? So unrealistic it’s unbelievable. And a running list of plays in between at bats? Lame. Show the diamond. Baseball superstars 2012, 2013 had excellent mechanics but a few stupid features..Version: 2.0.5
✓ BlistersThe base-running mini-game needs you to swipe your finger across your phone’s screen. A major problem of this is that it causes blistering after a while. It desperately needs revamping to avoid this..Version: 2.0.1
✓ DisappointingNew Star Soccer is one of my favorite mobile games, if not my favorite. My friends that are soccer fans loved it, too. When I saw New Star Baseball, I, a baseball fan, was excited. But this game is incredibly disappointing in my opinion. It’s weirdly difficult to follow the games as you play in them, and the timelines don’t make sense. You pitch to one batter at a time at different points in the game, but you’re also playing the outfield at different points, too. Hitting was also pretty hard to get used to. I feel like a lot of changes have to be made for me to enjoy this game like I do New Star Soccer..Version: 2.0.1
✓ UnplayableJust played and its the worst baseball game ever to hard to bat and they made everything so hard its unplayable Dont know how people like this game For that im giving it 1star.Version: 0.9.0
✓ Fun game with some annoying flawsOverall this is a pretty fun game, though there are some rather annoying aspects. - everything you do costs energy, you refill your energy by purchasing energy drinks. The annoying thing is that the cost for one of those drinks is not fixed, but becomes more and more expensive as you level up - the running system is awful, a few times I haven’t even been able to make it one base because I’m given such a small amount of time to run - your performance in game has ZERO impact on your skill ratings. It does impact your relationships with your manager, teammates, and fans, but your skill ratings can ONLY be improved by playing the mini games in between games. Decent game but probably won’t keep playing, there are better baseball options.Version: 2.0.5
✓ BugsIt’s a great game but every so often you go to load it up and then you end up on a half screen and you have to delete it and re download it to get it to work again because of this I didn’t re download it as it put me off the game.Version: 2.0.5
✓ MediocreFielding game, is trash. Depth perception is difficult in the catch game although it’s one of the better once. Running game is properly the most consistent one. Batting don’t make sense, it’s so inconsistent although you hit it perfect, it drops straight in the hands of the players. Last but not least, unless you hit the wall you’ll always only get a single! 🤔 Concept is good but way to many things are left to chance to make it enjoyable, in the long run..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Very fun game, with two annoying featuresThis game is very fun! However it does have some annoying features that can interfere with your experience. A ground ball in the infield, up to a ball in the hole on the warning track, are all singles. Only balls that touch the fence are doubles. Also most of the trainings are fun except the batting one where you have to hit the target, the difficulty spike is way too steep compared to everything else. Still a fun and addictive game, but these things will stand out a lot once you play more than a season..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Not very goodNot a very good game unfortunately. Batting is insanely easy one game then insanely difficult the next. Same with catching. Triples are singles, ground ball into the outfield is suddenly an out. Pitching controls are all over the place and they weirdly randomly bring you in as a relief pitcher every few innings which is obviously not possible. In my opinion unfortunately the worst new star game with a lot of improvements to the controls and mechanics needed..Version: 2.0.5
✓ BruhMy left testicle can make a better game.Version: 2.0.5
✓ BadF.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Needs some workSuper fun game. I’m a big fan of new star soccer and this game reminds me of it. There are a few bugs that mess up the gameplay, but I’m hopeful they’ll be fixed as more updates come. For instance, my batting rating is always very low every game, despite hitting multiple RBI doubles and home runs. The base running mini game also is a little broken. It will say it’s “easy to get to third base” but I’ll get absolutely hosed trying to run to third. On the other hand, sometimes it will say “very risky to run home” but I cruise into home with plenty of time. If some of these issues get fixed, this could easily become my favorite game on the App Store..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Close but could be betterI love this game and think it has lots of potential. My first problem is with the player rating system. I’ll have games where I hit 4/4, complete every pitch, and fail no fielding yet I still get negative rating from my team, even when we win! It’s nearly impossible to level up. Second, my first season I had .405 AVG and 33 HRs but didn’t make the cut for a C league team, this doesn’t seem like a players numbers are given enough weight. Lastly, I enjoy all the gameplay minus the running, it just doesn’t make sense, I dislike the phone spamming. Thank you for all your hard work I look forward to what the game will eventually become..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Almost a home runGames is fine apart from a few minor tweaks, I think the negative mark for only running one base should be gone and the catching and fielding games should be a little easier but overall it’s great to play. The part where all new star games falls down is energy and money is scarce. I realise they make money through ads or in app purchases but I would prefer and ad after every game and when you start up so that you can play the game without being forced to purchase to get ahead.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Buggy black screenI was enjoying it until level 5 when the app would not work, i just get a black screen!!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Good game but tutorial needs a skip optionI like all the New Star games, but the tutorials are always so tedious. There needs to be a skip option in all their games..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Meh…First off, the game needs some improvements. Number one, sometimes I got a home run and it says it’s a double. Or I hit a double or even triple but it says I hit a single. Also the hitting seems kind of rigged. I hit fly balls all the time for outs, but I see the ball clear the wall. Second, running the character is so slow even with max speed. The game tells me I could have been safe if I had run faster even though I literally can’t. Pitching needs some work too. The physics are weird. Overall, pretty fun game but needs improvements..Version: 2.0.5
✓ HardToo difficult and frustrating.Version: 0.9.0
✓ NRG is so stupidThe NRG requirements for stuff are ridiculously high. essentially if you fall below 40% then all that remaining nrg is worthless. really brain dead mechanic for making money. you should at least be able to do a relationship mini-game with 35% left..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Bad game but potentialDevs seem to not understand how baseball works. The game expects you to bat .700+ and makes it fairly easy to do so. Also you shouldn’t have to pitch, but if you do the least they could do is let you do a full at bat.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Microtransaction cityFor context, I love "Retro Bowl", another game by this developer, so I immediately paid $3.99 for the ad-free version of this game to support them. Unfortunately, the rest of the game is set up to keep making you shell out cash, which made me quit pretty quick. Bad job, devs! Here's how it works: To participate in games you need "energy" which you get by purchasing energy drinks. When you start, you get paid around $20 - $25 per game, and an energy drink costs $20. So you'll make about $5 profit per game if you're doing well. You can just barely compete in the minors with basic equipment, but to compete in higher leagues, you need to upgrade your equipment. Upgrading your equipment costs several hundred dollars, and all the upgrades are temporary and only work for 10-25 games. I hated this mechanic, but figured I'd be able to afford the better stuff once I had won some games and was making more money. I won a few games, renegotiated my contract, and was suddenly making $60 a game. That's when I noticed that energy drinks now cost $50. So you are purposely prevented from making meaningful progress in-game without spending real money. To upgrade from your most basic equipment to the next tier would require playing dozens of games, and then those upgrades would only last for 30 games or so. Or you can just spend $5 to get a few thousand bucks in-game! Bad job guys. I won't be supporting this studio anymore..Version: 2.0.5
✓ More play timeThe way you gain energy should be changed. Buying drinks to gain energy isn’t fun and you don’t get enough playing time.Version: 0.9.0
✓ Great idea butThe idea is there but the gameplay just isn’t and after you play for a bit you basically have to spend real money.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Logic of batting is awfulThat’s that.Version: 0.9.0
✓ Soon gets impossible without spending money to improveStarts off great but as stars of credit dry up so does your form, eventually getting you to to a point we’re you don’t even have enough energy to be picked for the game as you can’t afford any energy drink !!!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Adjust slow time when battingEven when the batting skill is 100% the time is still not slow enough for us to handle when batting. It would be better when the time when batting is even slower than it is now, if the batting skill is 100%. So we want the at 100% slow time when batting to be even slower than it is now. That will be better!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Bit greedyI was about to give this 4 stars when literally just now the game robbed me of 5 hard earned batting points. Sort the learning curve out! Also, the depth of the target is difficult to work out in the batting training..Version: 0.9.0
✓ CrashingHas started crashing every time I open it now, up to season 10 now can’t play at all what a waste of time.Version: 0.9.0
✓ DisappointedI really wanted to like this game. I played new star soccer and manager and have had great fun. What wrecks this game isn’t the game play but it’s the way you have tried to monetise it making it really hard to improve your character and get better equipment. I would be happy to pay money for the game to bypass the nonsense. But here we are in the world of pay to play apps..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Needs slight fixesNever use your cutoff man, it takes them a full second to turn around and throw it. By then the runner is already in the “safe zone”. ( It doesn't matter if the ball made it to the bag first if he is within 10 feet he is safe.) If you hit the foul pole it will be classed as a foul instead of a home run. If you run past a base and try to come back the game wont let you back in the safe zone. Just little things that may make you freak out. Other than that the game is great..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Good game but 1 complaintThere’s really nothing wrong with this game as I’ve played almost all the other new star games which are also good but this might be the best apart from new star soccer. However 1 complaint I have for this game and all the other games is the unnecessary inflation of NRG drinks. Drinks are cheap irl and it shouldn’t ever raise as nothing else never raises so what is the point for only energy drinks to rise? I’ve seen it get to ridiculous prices in the past and I’m only in my second year and it’s already up to 200 dollars from 20 dollars which is more than my weekly pay check. You’re meant to tell me a standard drink is more expensive than a car and apartment. I also left this at one star in hopes this review would attract attention from devs so just know I would give the game a 5 star normally..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Fix it pleaseWhy in the world is there not a triple base run in the game.!?! I want to hit a cycle in game and I can’t. Also when you get a trophy or an achievement, we should get some kind of reward for it. When we are in a game we should be able to choose when we use our skill cards instead of them automatically being used at the very beginning of the game. Why not let us choose when to use them..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Could of been good but not worth the hassleStarts off great, and all the gameplay mechanics great however you quickly learn how much of a grind it’ll be without buying premium gear or an abundance of energy drinks. Then there’s the ridiculously slow levelling up on top of that. Can smash 4 home runs in a game and come out with a rating under 5 because of 1 or 2 bad pitches/fielding. Of course your rating is linked to the exp gain for your level though so that’s why they have blatantly made the rating system absolutely shocking. Really isn’t worth your time unless your spending money to actually feel like your making some progress..Version: 1.0.2
✓ It’s least game is consistentCasino is horrendous but it is on all new star games that’s the case, black jack keeps giving me a 13 and every hit there’s a 10 or when I stick at 20 they’ve always got black jack and also the running mechanics should be sequential buttons as swiping brings menus up on apple and also sometime runner runs wherever he wants.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good Game with Lots of PotentialDevelopers: This is a really good game, but I would like to offer some feedback. 1) Energy needs to recharge over time. Even if the time to do this is slow, I get to point where energy packs cost more than what I am earning, so I have to turn the game off for the day. Either have energy recharge over time or make energy packs just 50 all tim. 2) Fielding is a nightmare. The mini game of throwing to your cut-off man is a disaster. Please work on fine-tuning that. 3) Decisions: It makes no sense to lose 10 relationship points because you have to decide between the three choices. 4) Training skills: If you want to make them cost energy, please lower the amount so you can train more in-between games..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Not good!Gave me a bad dose of the scoots.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Fun but with frustrationsSponsorship ratings tank way too fast. It’s not actually possible to make it around a base while running without hitting the invisible wall there if you have max stats and +25 speed. Twice I’ve watched video ads for extra rewards after a game and gotten nothing. In the throwing mini game, the ball goes 10-20 feet past the fielder before it registers as an out, causing some failures for me. All of these things are obnoxious. The rest of the gameplay is great though. Hitting homers is quite satisfying. However, room to improve.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Load of rubbishPlease watch a baseball game in the future because you don’t know f all..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Tutorial is wayyyyyyy too long3 games for a tutorial? Like come on ...the game itself is ehhhhh ..the running is stupid ...hitting 9 out of 10 times is a foul ball...but the tutorial is literally 3 full games and also showing you how to equip cards ...but the fact you have to show how to equip cards in different categories that all get equipped the same way by just dragging them on the screen is kinda redundant like why show me how to do the same thing 3 times? And the ads oh man spamming my phone all day long.Version: 0.9.0
✓ PotentialThis game has good mechanics, but the rating system needs a major rework. I’ve had games twitch three home runs, and still gotten a 2.0(out of 10) rating. The pitching mini game has major issues at the moment as well. The directions are simply to “spin and tap” but there is next to no way to figure out where the ball is going to spin to, and you have to tap way high just to maybe get it in the strike zone. With some fixes, the game could be good..Version: 0.9.0
✓ Why just whyIt’s a great game don’t get me wrong, the animation is good, the details look pristine for a simple mobile game, the gameplay is amazing even if sometimes it may register late or early. It’s a really good game but why is the tutorial 20 years long, why do I need to be taught every single thing 20 times and after have to do them again. I can’t even access the settings to turn down the music volume, I can’t do anything without finishing a game, buying something I don’t even need but they make me buy and then have to play another game even if I don’t want too. I love this game but omg how annoying it is..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Ok gameNeed to calm down with the tutorial however it’s needlessly long and boring.Version: 2.0.1
✓ You can only succeed if you pay and pay fastThis game is fun at first, but you quickly run out of energy, which doesn’t refill with time. The only way to replenish energy is to use tokens and buy energy drinks. You don’t make enough tokens to keep buying energy drinks, leaving you no choice but to buy tokens or sit out games and make your coach, team and fans upset. And this is in the lowest league after only a couple hours. So you’re basically forced to pay to even have a decent player in the lowest league, or delete the app after only a couple hours..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Soft LockedI can’t continue. The guy is telling me to buy something but there’s only two things I can click and they both don’t progress me..Version: 0.4.0
✓ TrashTrash game cant even bat correctly.Version: 0.9.0
✓ Imitation baseball in a baseball skinThe good: the concept is good; hitting is kind of fun but too easy. The bad: some of the mini games are frustrating and most are not all that fun. The strange: it doesn’t feel like a game made by people who are baseball fans. The stats certainly aren’t baseball-like; the player profile should show stats like you’d find on baseball reference of on a baseball card, not just total numbers. In game, I’ve seen the phrase, “hanging off first, looking to make ground,” which seems like a google translate version of maybe “taking a big lead-off, looking for extra bases?” I’m not sure, but it’s nonsensical. The entire game feels like this — a google translate version of actual baseball. None of the mini games (batting, pitching, running, or fielding) really feel like baseball. They superficially look like baseball, but don’t contain any of the elements that make baseball fun. Strategic decisions that make good baseball decisions have nothing to do with how this game is played. The weirdness and lack of ever feeling like anything close to baseball kills any fun..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Good but needs tweakingHave played the game quite a while but a couple things I don’t care for. I hit over .675 for two straight seasons and hit 43 HRs per season but did not win all star award or anything else. I hate the ground ball throw function as I rarely get the runner out and it brings down rating even though the other areas of performance are very good. If you can make it easier to throw out runners and adjust player ratings I would appreciate it. Good game but if I can never progress after the stats I’ve achieved I’ll likely give up. Thanks for your excellent concept though..Version: 2.0.5
✓ EnergyIt’s so annoying who I have to buy drinks to refill my energy, I don’t have enough to purchase other things.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Decent but annoyingLike the other new star games, this is polished and plays well. But…it has the same annoying traits of the others too. Wages are nowhere near enough to allow you build up your energy and training and accessories, in my cynical view it’s to get some in-app purchases out of you to cut corners. Gameplay is ok but has the flaws of other games. Sometimes the game just decides you’re going to slice the ball, miss the catch, mess the pitch up etc. The other annoyance is the ‘coaching’ you get. Coach tells you base 3 is risky so you don’t go for it but the commentary says you’re crap for not going. All in all, I played this for two days before getting annoyed in the same way I did with cricket and football so deleted it. Slow progress and a lot of ad’s, but a well written, slick, game that would be really addictive we’re it a little more user friendly and forgiving..Version: 2.0.5
✓ I love new start gamesBut this one is really hard to learn and doesn’t feel like ns soccer or ns cricket it need adjustments.Version: 0.9.0
✓ CrapFeels like missing an open goal after NS Soccer and NS Cricket, deleted after a few games it was quite a letdown.Version: 0.9.0
✓ Good game but needs fixesThe running and throwing mini games area absolutely dreadful, they need an overhaul, other than that it's a decent game.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Almost perfectEverything is great…. Except the batting. It just seems glitched. I don’t mean the hitting. I mean the rating at the end of the game. I’m in the ultimate league and my rating stays consistently low. I actually do pretty good at batting but it’s depressing when you go 2-4 with a double and a home run and still get a negative 1.4 batter rating. I can’t wrap my head around that at all. Similarly, another game I went 4-4 with two doubles and two singles and received a batter rating close to zero. At least it wasn’t negative right? You’ll have games where you hit the game winning grand slam but you don’t extra credit for that. Still a low rating. You get no credit for singles period. That part just seems unrealistic by baseball standards. I know it’s a game but putting up MVP stats for a 7.5 average rating over the course of the season isn’t appealing. Everything else is great though..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Rating systems brokenBaseball works for the New Star format, but the good/bad binary do NOT work for batting. The rating system is so broken; my form and game rating shouldn’t be ruined because I went 2 for 4 with a single, and RBI double, and two well-hit flyouts. Also running is impossible. Besides that, I love the game and it would be an easy five stars if the player weren’t held to an impossible, unrealistic standard at the plate and unfairly punished for not meeting it..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Too HardThe game is way to hard to play, with no practice time aswell it’s just not fun to play.Version: 0.9.0
✓ Has promise.I’m stuck early on, as the game tells me I need more energy but won’t let me go and buy energy as I’m trapped in a tutorial trying to teach me how to use relationship cards..Version: 0.9.0
✓ This game makes no senseStruggling to think this is the same company that’s made new star soccer and new star cricket shambles of a game.Version: 0.9.3
✓ PotentialThis game definitely has the potential to be great. The new card system for this genre of game makes it very confusing and tedious. New Soccer Star was amazing and the definition of a job well done on the developers part. Even if the game was an exact copy of NSS but with baseball I would still be exceptionally satisfied. I think the gameplay is definitely to easy to as when you get it down you get a home-run every swing. Overall it a subpar game that definitely has the potential to be great..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Enjoyable but senselessI enjoy this game, the mechanics work but there are some issues. 1. Swiping up to run is senseless. Initial a better control as iPhone screens are not a fan of this action 2. Season performance and star ratings are a joke. I’ve just finished a full season, batting average .682 139RBI with 40+ HR and I’ve been demoted for poor performance. Pitching and batting are fun but the rest needs work..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Developer doesn’t know enough about baseballI hit 3-4 had a grand slam 1 error on defense and got a 3.0 rating and lost relationship with my manager, also I think you should be able to choose between being a pitching, infielder or outfielder..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Money pitThis is the worst game I’ve ever played. Impossible to achieve anything without spending a bunch of money. You can’t even get into the starting lineup without maximizing your nrg, which costs as much as your salary. Hit a home run and a double and your performance rating could still be merely 4.5/10. Upgrades have an expiration, the basic gear is a joke which the announcers drag you for using. You’ve taken $20 off of me and I’m riding the pine in the bottom division. Oh and the dialog is obviously created on google translate, for example the hitter steps up to the ‘stand.’ It’s a shame because I got this due to its association with the excellent retro bowl and retro goal games. Fraudulent..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Decent gameDecent but repetitive and keeps throwing me back to restarting my career. Won’t open and when finally does I’m back at the beginning..Version: 2.0.4
✓ BadSuper hard to advance up. I played 6 seasons and couldn't get past double a. So I showed it the door. The soccer game is much better..Version: 1.1.2
