MLB Tap Sports Baseball 2021 Reviews

This is a fun game and the club concept is great BUT you have to spend spend spend to get anywhere in this game. Each week you cycle 3 times of new bonus players that need to be developed to win. Players from one cycle are good for a couple days and you generally dump them to get the new players released. And you have several versions of your favorite player come out so you will spend to get him yet again. The odds are always against you so you spend fast to load up your team. The developer has finally realized cheating goes I. So you get pop ups to try to slow down the auto taps out there.
I have seen players spend over a thousand dollars a week on this game. It can get crazy. So be careful even starting.
Oh, and you get ONE reset of your team. That means if you have phone issues you will lose your team eventually and have to start all over. This is because players will sell developed teams so ordinary players suffer on having access to their account if you have phone issues. They won’t reset your access. Again money.
If you have money then you will have fun. But have a high limit on that credit card. You’ll need it to win.

I’ve played this game off and on for several years. I enjoy a lot of the changes they’ve made in recent years. The player upgrades give you something to work for. The special event boxes are fun. The addition of pitching is a cool concept. It needs to be refined a bit to truly have an impact on the meta game. Overall, the gameplay is entertaining and I generally like playing a few events or games throughout the day.

The problem is this year’s version crashes non-stop. Any time an ad loads, it’s a gamble if the ad will play through and get you back to the game or if the game will crash. Sometimes when the game crashes, you lose your event progress. Try being one matchup away from winning a walk off hero event and having to restart. Multiple times. It’s frustrating and it makes the game nearly unplayable. I can hardly play prime events without the game crashing. (And before support asks me about my wifi connection, my wifi is fine. Stop it.)

I want to really like this game. I want to play it more, but it just crashes too much for me to bother. If the devs manage to sort out the bugs, I’ll dive back in. For now, I’m on to other titles.

I left a review a few days ago... Ever since y’all responded to it, I haven’t one a single game. I had a player hitting .500 beforehand and now is hitting .280. I am now averaging 3 hits a game which before was a lot more. Y’all have ruined this game, it’s not fun, the pitching is impossible, the ratings of players do not matter. I have a rated 96 player who is hitting just as good as my rated 63 player. Which their batting averages are in the .200s. This game is a joke. I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLAYING YOU ARE GOING TO WASTE YOUR TIME!

So far the game has been okay. But there are a few things that the game should really consider fixing. First off, the camera angle trying to hit is awful. I don’t think y’all could’ve picked a worse angle. You can’t tell sometimes how high or low the pitch is... Secondly, how are your supposed to hit the cutter!!! It comes in twice as fast as every other pitch, and it moves literally half the screen at the very last second. Curveballs nearly go off the screen, and everything else is just awful. I hate writing bad reviews but it seems like this is a common theme with this game, and I’m finally understanding why. It’s making the game not enjoyable.

I’ve been on this game for 2 years, and foolishly let myself become addicted. While I can own up to my situation, I will NEVER accept having money stolen from me. I decided a month ago to buy an IPad for work, and also realized after talking with many players, that you can have a separate account as long as you use a separate device. Great, so double the addiction. But then for some reason I got locked out. Let’s be clear, 2 different devices, 2 different email accounts, even different payment methods. I messaged in contact us, and kept getting the run around. After a week of not being able to play, they finally realized they made a mistake and restored access. After a day, and me buying 2 field passes on Monday, again I was locked out. To be clear, I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve now asked to be refunded for the 2 wasted field passes and I’ll gladly delete the apps and find better things to do with my life. But even after seeing the passes have not been used, they are refusing to refund my money.

To be clear, after wasting thousands playing a game that offers no actual rewards, they’re now refusing to return $25 to me. Such thieves!

I’ve been playing this game for 3 years now and it is awesome. Definitely one of the best Baseball games out there and the best mobile Baseball game. I have a lot of fun playing it and it is the only game I have that I am willing to spend hours of my time on. There’s only 1 problem though and it is the sole reason that I am only giving this game a 3 star rating instead of 5. Every single event I play (the ones where there are rounds and you get to pick which of your players you want to use each round) after a few levels of the first round the game just freezes. When it does this I close out the application and go back in, but when I go back in the player I was going to use for the level is no longer available and I have to spend gold to get them back. This makes it impossible to get past round 1 each event and therefore makes what would be my favorite part of the game incredibly frustrating. Pls fix this. I want to continue to enjoy your awesome game.

This game is a lot of fun...for the first 24 hours. Winning games 15 to 1, whole team hitting over .300 with most hitting over .400, tons of homeruns and doubles. Seems like you can do no wrong. You can easily win 20-25 games with no losses.
By day 2 that’s over. The hitting stops. Your team of players rated 75 and up get no hit for 7 innings by a pitcher rated 48. Nothing you hit is hit hard. You’ll ground out to the pitcher 12 times a game. Inning after inning, you can’t get the ball out of the infield. By day 3, if you keep MLBTapSportsBaseball2021 that long, the highest batting average on your team will be .240 and you’ll be lucky to get 3 hits per game. You’ll still get the occasional home run here or there - when you’re already behind 0-12. You will lose, often and by a lot, to teams that are inferior in terms of rating. Playing becomes nothing but an exercise in frustration.
Of course, maybe that would change if you spend $200-$300 over those first days, but I can’t imagine even that would make you competitive for long. This game could be really fun but it’s just annoying. Such a waste.

Great game. It’s been a while since I’ve had a ton of fun a tap sports game. However, the match images mini game you’ll sometimes get in between games is a mess. You get the mini game, there’s a few images that you have to match, you match ALL images but yet it’ll say “incorrect submission” when you surely matched all the images. If you do this incorrectly 3 times auto play is disabled. That feature is the stupidest thing you could add. Especially since it’s so buggy. If you want people to match the images make sure it works ! I’ve had it happen way too many times where I match all the images correctly then click submit just so the game could tell me they were incorrect when they were 100% correct. Then to do it two more times correctly but yet the game still says it’s incorrect and you’re stuck with no auto play for two hours. It’s stupid

I’ve been messaging back and forth about this game and it owe me 10,000 in gold that I played for and I played dingers and I’m unsure of what is owed to me from that program. They refuse to work with me and said sorry we can’t compensate for that at all. They aren’t even trying. So why would you want to buy a package knowing when there’s an issue they refuse to try to reconcile. My son and I only play this game. Only. But I will look at alternates. You cant expect me to purchase which we wanted to do if you cant even help cover some loose ends that is their fault. It’s a communist attitude to think I will give you money with the expectations of I may not get nothing in return. So there goes 2 yearly subscriptions out the door. I’m sure I am a nobody but the more people see how they treat customers they’ll go another direction. Don’t buy this game for your kids unless you want to purchase it over and over. I fully expect my games to diminish. I’ve seen where if you complain the players get slow and the home runs stop. Another commie move.

This game is not even fun. It doesn’t even let you have fun. The other teams pitchers rarely throw an actually good throw, and one time it’s a strike and the other time it’s a ball, even though at the exact same pitch. Sometimes I even think that the ball hits the bat but it just goes right through it. If it’s not that, the precision you need to do anything in this game is too much. When I do hit the ball, every single time it gets caught. If it doesn’t, they still throw it to first and get me out. The outfielder falls, grabs it, and throws it to first base, and my batter is only halfway there. And if I hit it harder, there is always somebody waiting there to catch it. Sometimes, they even move extremely quickly to catch the ball, which is very unrealistic. And sometimes I’m hitting it very far, and some outfielder starts running after the ball in the air. He is running straight, not looking, not stopping, ball behind him, and he just reaches out without stopping and catches the ball, without even looking. Just sticks his arm out and the stupid ball just lands there. This game could have been fun.

Okay, so genuinely, I really like this game. However my love for it has started to decrease within this month as I started to notice the little things that tick me off.

Even my fastest runners somehow almost never make it to first. (My fastest runners being about 178 speed). Even when it takes the infielders quite a few time to get the ball and make the throw, my runner still almost never makes it to first.

Also, outfielders that are impossible to get past. Somehow they keep catching the balls backwards? How is that possible? Or when they suddenly gain superhuman speed as the ball gets hit in a gap and run all the way across the field in record-breaking times.

Somehow pitches that go all the way off the screen, or hit the dirt, are strikes. What kind of umpire would make those calls? None. Since you are trying to make a realistic baseball game, you should probably make the umpire’s calls realistic too. And that means not calling a pitch that hits the dirt or nearly hits my player or goes off the screen a strike.

However, the game’s pretty well made. There’s not too many ads, there’s a wide variety of players to play against and the game always tries to match you up with someone near your skill level. The game leaves a lot of room to learn and grow throughout your experience. So yes. You should get MLBTapSportsBaseball2021 . Just be aware of the things I said 😌🤚

Overall I loved the game, and have played it for maybe three months now. The game has many great features such as many game modes, and real time connections to the mlb, such as predictions.

My only complaint is that one of the main ways to progress is with club events, where most of your points will come from bonus games depending on the event. However, bonus game take about 30 seconds to skip through each, and you have to skip through an inning at a time.

This adds up quickly when you have 100 plus bonus games you want to play for an event, and you end up having to mindlessly tap at your phone for an hour to contribute. You can pay to skip through the games all 9 innings at once, but even then I would imagine you would still have to tap for 20 minutes to finish 100 games.

I left a review earlier this week and haven’t won a game since. Basically turned into a whole lot of waiting. Wait for a 4 seam fastball because you can’t get a hit on 102 mph cutters that look like balls until it’s too late to swing, breaking balls that break off the screen and barely catch the front corner for a strike. Then, you have to wait for a 4 seam fastball that’s ACTUALLY in the zone.
Wait for the 78 overall starter that’s no-hitting you (with 9 guys in my lineup at 85+) through 7 innings to get tired so he’ll walk 4 guys to spot you a run because you can’t hit.
Spent about 1,500 gold and 220k “money” to upgrade my team, then got no hit by 78 ovr Mike Fiers for 7 innings and watch my 3-4-5 hitters pop up to the pitcher with the bases loaded and down a run in the 9th. This game is an absolute joke if you don’t plan on spending money.
Hey Tap guys, if I switch my review to 5 stars can you at least make the game semi fun to play again? I’m on a 10 game losing streak since I left the last one. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but cmon man.

This game is ok. The pitching is very annoying though. I would go up to bat and it looks like a strike but it ends up being a ball. Which makes you swing making it a strike instead of it being a ball. It gets very annoying. But the fun part is when you get on base or hit some dingers. It’s very rare that it happens. When you first start off playing the game, you are actually pretty good at the game. But once you level up the pitching gets worse and it lowers your stats for your player. Please fix this problem. The pitching is horrible. I barely hit homers or get on base. It’s always a pop up or a groundout. Also another thing is. One time I hit a line drive but into the stands. Somehow a player glitches into the stands and caught the ball. This game is very weird. You can hit a super fastball to the outfield where no one is. And they just appear there to catch it. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Had an account, played for two years, and spent more money than I’d care to admit on building a killer team in the 2019 version. Then the 2021 edition comes out and advertises how I can transfer my 2019 account over to the new. Somehow, using the very same email address I’m registered under (which is the very same address to which they sent me multiple adds enticing me to download and play the 2021 version) it won’t let me log in. Says the email is invalid. I went to a user forum and discovered lots of other people having the same problem, whom if they got their issue fixed through customer support at all, it was still way more hassle than it seems like it was worth. Seems pretty clear that this company wants us to start from scratch and build a team from the bottom. Which costs and inordinate amount of time, and money if you want a truly competitive team. Not worth it. Don’t get suckered in. Play something else.

Signed, a very disappointed user.

I sure hope this game has an update to change things up. For years they’ve had the same game just make you reset yourself every year.. the top people in this game are obviously pay to win players like most other apps however this one can mess ya up… you can spend thousands on this game and still not be anywhere near the best. I’ve played this game for the last 2 years on the day of release but this year I really don’t feel like grinding for days to be miles and miles behind most people. I probably have 60+ hours on this game and I am nowhere near “good” because the standards for this game are set way to high by all the dorks spending 1000s of dollars a week. Honestly you guys need to reevaluate your purchases 🤣 but please Glu spice this game up… it has been the EXACT same for years now. Please make a change for your INSANELY LOYAL fan base.

I like this game in someways but I also don’t like it in some ways I like baseball and thought this game was fun. Then I get in they throw it down the middle and I have fun. Then the next day I see a guy throwing impossible sliders and throwing like 102 miles per hour fastball which in real life that guy only throws about 90 and it is really outside then it cuts like 80 miles per hour into the strike zone. I get really frustrated during it because there is a 40 overall pitching to a 144 overall and striking him out. I would give MLBTapSportsBaseball2021 a five but after what is happening I have to give it a three. Oh yes one more thing, I wish they would throw it down the middle and then do like one of those insane pitches in like once every two innings but make it still throw balls and make the pitch speed a little bit down and I want to play defense as well. Thanks.

I’ve been playing this game since 2017. On the positive side, they’ve added several new features such as rally, target bash, extra bases, and payoff pitch. The variety keeps the game fun, along with interacting with members of my club.

Now for the cons. Game play has slowed every year. To make things worse, they’ve added captchas. I’m not sure why they did this but if you fail to solve them, you’re not allowed to play for 3 hours. I’m 45 and wear reading glasses. Without them, I fail these captchas often. I feel like a 4 year old being put in timeout.

You have to spend a lot of money to be good at the game. I didn’t mind that for a while but it’s become more and more difficult to play in general. I spent less when I played online poker! My advice, don’t bother. It’s only a matter of time before a thumbprint and a retinal scan are required to play this game.

This game was fun at first. Very fun. Played a few tournaments and many bonus games. Created a good team and started a season. 10-0 through the first 10 games with many of them being blowouts. Nothing has changed but now I’m lucky to get 3 hits a game. Players overall ratings mean nothing. Highest rated players are the worst ones on my team. Every game is more of the same. Highest rated players pop up agonizingly slowly to at most midway of the outfield but most dribble back toward the pitcher or right to the first baseman. Everything is exactly the same. When my average players do get on base my next All-Star a bat hits into a double play. This game isn’t fun anymore. Production just fell off of a cliff. I’m doing nothing different but somehow can’t do anything. I won’t play a game like that. Not sure what you are doing to it but I’m done with this. Reading the reviews I’m not the only one that has the same frustrations with this “game”. I’ll find a different game.

Tap Sports Baseball is a pretty fun game. As someone that really loves baseball this is a fun mobile game that is fast paced and easy to play. Although there are some flaws to it, it seems way to hard to get good players. They are really forcing you to spend money to get a good team, and as you level up it’s gonna get impossible to win without a good team. Also they release a new version of this game every year and it is pretty much the exact same game each year. A lot of the gameplay is based on luck because you don’t have much control of anything. As it says in the name “Tap Sports Baseball” all you can do is tap the screen to hit. But this is a fun game to play with your friends and when you have free time because it is simple and fast paced. If you are a baseball fan I would recommend you try this out.

The game can be fun in some ways but mostly, it can be very annoying and frustrating. The thing that triggers me is the pitches.. The pitcher can throw to the top of the screen and it somehow curves into the strike zone, another pitch is where the ball looks like an outside pitch, but at the last second it turns into the strike zone. Another irritating thing is the angle of the game, they could not have picked a worse angle for the in game experience. It gives you no idea on how high or low the ball can be.
Hitting can be annoying too. rarely get a chance to get on base, mostly everything is a pop-up. Some grounders too. I also want to list a problem I encountered during the playoffs. I hit it into the stands dead center, somehow the left fielder glitched into the stands, and snagged my home run. Although the cons of this game can be rough, I’ve found some enjoyment in this game.
