Manage and Build 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 speciously edible hotdogs. Is there anything more American than the baseball diamond? As a Brit, I wouldn't know, but I can appreciate the allure of managing your own team in the major leagues, and Bitball Baseball lets you do just that.

Don't expect high-resolution graphics from this game, as Bitball Baseball is a super low-res baseball simulator. You'll get a view of the entire field and a crowd of pixellated fans as your players compete against rival teams, racing for the bases after every hit.

In terms of features, Bitball Baseball offers everything you'd expect from a fantasy sports simulator. You can trade players, customize your team and lineup, build a world-beating stadium, and cultivate a dedicated fanbase (or maximize profits with ticket pricing). For those willing to upgrade, the premium version allows you to customize the names and appearances of your players and create your own custom team.

Take me out to the ballgameWhile baseball simulators may not be as mainstream as football or American football games, there's no denying the universal appeal of this sport. I appreciate that Duckfoot Games is transparent about what's included in both the free and premium versions of Bitball Baseball, even detailing it on the storefront!

Mark your calendars for the release of Bitball Baseball on March 12th, just a few weeks away! Be sure to pre-register on Android or iOS to start hitting home runs as soon as it's available.
