Tightly-knit but accepting community
Tremendous potential - could be the best online baseball manager to date
It’s not a polished as other online games, but it has a good user base and they are consistently improving the site.
Been playing this game for almost two years and new features are added regularly. It's constantly getting better.
Broken Bat is the first in a long time to get me excited and completely hooked from day 1.
Give it a try and you will see.
The game is totally free,(I for one would happily pay) the developer is very active and the community is very friendly.
It may take a little time, but once you are accepted into the community, it has the feel of a virtual family. You can discuss daily topics, laugh, joke, and even argue with your fellow owners.
The admin constantly improves the game, but the best part is he is always willing to listen to other's input. He is closing in on maybe one of the most realistic baseball engines in history. He dedicates a lot of time towards the game, and he quickly answers questions.
The one downside to this game is that, like any other game, it will take time to get the hang of. This game may take awhile to pick up completely. However, once you do, it can become addicting.
Broken Bat does have a bit of a learning curve, but once you get into it, it's a lot of fun. It's always changing, so I have been always learning new things and taking on new challenges as I make my way up through the ladder.
The idea of promotion and relegation is one of the best things about Broken Bat, for better or for worse. Winning your league has more incentive than just knowing you were the one of the two best teams in your league this year (or not) - you get promoted to the next league up the following season. You also have incentive to not be in 5th or 6th place by the end of the year - you'll get relegated to a lower league. Because of a constantly changing group of teams, there's always new teams to play against every season. The Cup is also random draw, and pits all 750+ teams against each other, with only one team in the entire game coming out on top of that competition. So basically, you'll never get into a rut.
The drafting system is much better than Bush League Baseball's was - no need to save up on tokens and other freemium BS, everyone gets their pick of ten prospects each Friday. With six different draft pools worldwide, you can make your team as diverse as you like. It's also realistic in that your first round choice is much more likely to be good than your tenth round choice.
The community is also super chill (generally), and once you've been in it for a while, it really is a well-knit community. We all help each other out, discuss how our teams are doing, give the admin (who is a player himself) suggestions...and he is the one that really makes this game special, because it is truly a labor of love for him. He doesn't charge players anything, and doesn't sell advertisements. He usually responds to requests, help, suggestions, etc. pretty quickly, and is constantly developing the game to be better for the players.
TLDR: Broken Bat has a lot to offer, and is worth checking out! Our current season ends in less than three weeks, so if your team is not doing well, you will be able to turn it around pretty quickly.
You can play to win now, or build for the future.
More than anything else, you will find the best, most polite, more informative community of any online games
