EA SPORTS MLB TAP BASEBALL 23 Reviews

by To_jan90

My main issue with this game is that the gameplay is utterly awful, I mean terrible batting timing, you can barely get any decent hits at best, every great you get your automatically out which completely unfair to the user player, you make it feel like the cpu player is cheating, on very rare occasions the in/out fielders don’t catch the ball, and some of the hits the ball is out of reach for the outfielders to catch but somehow they make they’re way over to catch an uncatchable ball. Not to mention the pitching from the cpu player is terrible, can’t tell the ball if the ball is going to be a strike or a ball until the last minute. You developers should know better and do a better job with game and fix these issue and make it better playable. I don’t recommend anyone downloading this game waste of my time getting this. SHAME!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to start off by saying I have been playing this game for years. So I know how EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 works and its performance over a long period of time. The bugs in EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 are the same as they were 5 or 6 years ago! It is truly unbelievable how no fixes have been implemented for obvious issues. Customer support is no better. They ask for evidence of reported issues and despite the issue being obvious, the development team always comes back with an answer that is lazy, inefficient, and incompetent. I feel like the team that works on EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 is lazy and content because of a loyal fanbase who honestly deserves better. The amount of money people spend on this game is insane so the product should be almost flawless. It is so far from that. Just a little bit of effort from the company could make EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 one of the best sports apps ever. Just do your job and fix the problems is all I’m asking.

This game is horrible. First we start with an above batter view which doesn’t allow us to see the height of the pitches. Then we have these crazy curveballs and sliders that are impossible to tell whether it is a strike or not. I was winning a game by 7 in the fourth and I decided to simulate the game. They caught up while I didn’t score once and I couldn’t come back from such a bad place in the game. The overalls of players are messed up too. I would be hitting with players with upwards of 100 overall with perfect timing and the ball is a grounder to the pitcher. The worst part is that the players instantly spawn where the you hit the ball. I hit a beautiful pop-up into deep left field right after the game said that the outfield came in so naturally it would be over their heads right? Well your wrong. The LF was standing right under the ball at the fence to catch the ball. Fix your game.

This game is atrociously mismanaged. I’ve been playing since 2019 and every year gets worse. Used to be owned by GLU, now EA, but what’s consistent? The awful customer service. They seem to only care about players who pay the most. Their responses aren’t helpful and often times take days. I’m having account issues connecting my ‘22 account to my ‘23 account and can’t get any of my welcome gifts or select keepers. Tried reaching out to customer service 3 times each in both ‘22 and ‘23 over the course of 3-4 days. Not even a reply yet. Nothing. You play a game for 4 years straight and you can’t even get a reply… not just a meaningful one… a reply in general. You just end up wasting time, energy, and patience on an app where the developers and CS reps don’t care about the user experience. I’ve never been one to write reviews but it’s finally time with this game. Do better.

i just downloaded this game cause i used to play it back when it was a brand new idea, but now it’s just bad. i can’t get past 36% on the loading screen so i haven’t even gotten into the game yet. this isn’t a problem in other games either i load into them perfectly fine it’s just this game, i even tried to redownload it and that still didn’t work but doesn’t surprise me cause of the maker of the game. EA you gotta do better not every person wants a pay to win game every single year, honestly i don’t really think anyone does. it’s just getting old all your games are pay to win and half way done by the time you release them. if you would just take a little extra time and finish and polish your games up maybe make them not so pay to win and just have cool cosmetics and stuff like that, people would genuinely love the games but you just can’t right now and that’s upsetting.

Been playing this game since the 19 version last years (22) was actually decent my favorite honestly you could hit and play and have fun this year is awful reason being the game is called tap for a reason there isn’t much skill you just tap in season mode everything you hit is an out outfield and infield both any other mode besides season is fine and almost everything you hit is a hit witch I understand the game has to have some kind of challenge if not it would get boring fast not everybody’s going to bat 1,000 I get it but when I’m season mode when most people are gonna have they’re fun make it the worse thing in the world good going I’m proud of y’all for ruining it and every game of tap baseball there’s a glitch that a foul ball nobody touches it they stare at it and you could set there for forever then you click off of the game and as soon as that happens you gotta restart the whole app just gonna be honest this game isn’t worth the aggravation

For the last 3 months I have been locked out of baseball 23. They have said they have been working on the problem but won’t tell what the problem is. I have been playing this game for 10 years with no problem until EA bought the game from glu. When I tried to sync the 22 account to my 23 account the 22 account froze. I notified customer service of the problem so I could get the keepers and my VIP status. When I did that my 23 account froze and both of them have like that for 3 months. I have had over 25 customer service representatives try and help me and they all want me to do the same thing. They don’t communicate with each other so I have to explain to each one what is going on. I have to send screenshots that they have already of my team and one of the reps said he couldn’t find the club I was on and I had to send a screenshot of the club name. At this point the keepers are useless but my VIP status isn’t. I spent a lot of money to get that and you would think they would be able to give me that. They won’t even address the frozen accounts. This is no way to run a business.

I picked this game up as soon as I saw it in EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 Store and was really excited to try it. I’ve played quite a few other baseball games in the past, mostly the baseball superstars series on IOS, so I have quite a bit of experience to compare this game to. My main problem is that it doesn’t feel that proper timing or having better players makes any noticeable difference in outcome. For example, when I started investing into certain players I didn’t see any improvement in the batting average or distance on hits. I think it is pretty random, when you make contact, whether it is a hit, hr, or out. Beyond this problem, I think the game menu, CPUs, and graphics all need work. It’s not fun at all when you think you have Wander Franco on your team but he looks like any other player and has facial hair he has never had in real life. This game feels rushed and unpolished so I guess it’s just another money grab app from EA. Not really surprising when you compare it to their other mobile games, but I’m still disappointed. Hopefully they can fix this game soon as I think a real MLB game for IOS would be great.

The only way to be competitive in this game is to auto-tap to amass large amounts of gold or have thousands of dollars to spend on game per week. The odds of pulling top players is so minuscule. Not everyone can afford to do this nor wants to autotap (where’s the fun). Last year they had a way to obtain top players by being on a top performing team. They’ve taken that option away now for All Time Great players. Essentially they’ve created uneven playing field. The game will crash and be down for periods of time. Customer support might as well not exist. Their response for issues is, ‘sorry I can’t help you however we appreciate comments and will pass them on. Might as well have saved your time and not reached out to them. I don’t begrudge EA from making money as our capitalist society is part of what makes us great. This game takes it to the extreme. The game itself is a lot of fun and addictive. The only way to get better is to get better players..to do this; you have to spend and/or autotap.

Quite honestly, the greediest launch for a Glu game yet. If you are looking for a F2P gacha / look elsewhere. This game is F2P in the smallest sense - you can technically do everything the game puts forward, but for every one minute of gameplay you will probably be hit with a 45 second ad with multiple prompts to exit it.

In previous editions, there is a gradual build towards stronger players. This year they’ve thrown it all out and instantly put big spending whales on a pedestal, giving them the ultimate advantage to buy and level up primes and legends. Late game content level players like Willie Mays are instantly in the game. You are instantly not on a fair playing field unless you’re willing to spend upwards of $50 per week on a game that will then make the players you’ve bought obsolete within 2 days.

In previous editions I’ve gone 2-3 stars because a lot of the things they’ve added are entertaining, but this is a blatant money grabbing gacha with little structure at launch, and it’s disgusting. 1 star.

I’ve been playing this game for years, having enjoyed it and participating on teams when Glu owned it. Since EA took it over, the game performance is pathetic. Choppiness, frequent disconnects from the game necessitating an app restart, sometimes losing game progress, and constantly spinning circles with delays as much as 30 seconds before a new game loads. The ads are ridiculous! Way more than when Glu owned EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 , with up to 1 ad every 5 minutes, disrupting a series of games. Trying to dismiss the 60 - 90 second ad requires literally 4 - 5 clicks to get through the screens and get back to your game. And the same ads over and over. I’ve become so frustrated that I’ve actually quit playing the game some days. The only reason I play is loyalty to my team as the leader. Many players have abandoned EASPORTSMLBTAPBASEBALL23 - and we’ll come back to it if changes and improvements are made…

Since Tap21 the creators have made creating a player crap. Not everyone in this world is average build. Some are muscular, some are fat, some are skinny, some are big, some are small. And the skin tones come on. What about the Latino community not everyone is the same six color choices. You want this game to be better too. If I earned or purchased my gold and cash from the pervious year it should transfer to the next. EA is notorious for doing this. They do it all on their games. Now MLB will be included on mobile. But, there worst transfer game is FIFA. I digress. But, create a player needs to be simply recoded for more options which would take an hour or less. Why can’t you all just fix these minor issues. And it is still way buggy. And let us transfer what we earn or purchase.

Many things need worked on such as how fast the outfielders run or where there at it just feels like they know where the balls gonna go before you hit and it dosnt feel like the pwr levels or upgrades do anything it feels the exact same you might get an easier hr off a 130 rather then a 70 or lower but it’s still all the same, and when I hit it in the outfield and know I can go 3rd I should be able to but work on how fast they throw the ball first bc then theres not even a chance to make it to 3rd that’s how fast they throw the ball and last things it’s honestly so annoying when the pitcher throws the ball way over your head or throws it directly at the ground 3 times back to back still a fun game but a lot of things need worked on if you want it to be perfect and fun I don’t care graphics or how characters look just care if it’s a fun game best part is no ads that’s not a good thing (keep no ads I love it).

Generally a good game, but in seasons past I could start a new season with ANY 2 batters and 1 pitcher from the previous season. Since I started playing several seasons ago, I have always had Rogers Hornsby, and recently got Jackie Robinson and pitcher Walter Johnson. As part of my game progression I thought it was proper to bring whichever “seed” players I wanted to the new season. In 2023, All-Time Great players, such as the three I listed, could not be brought over. To lose my three core players and inhibit player progress made me lose interest. Allow us to pick whomever we want for building a team roster and I might start again, but otherwise too much time is spent building a team with no ability to bring the very best players to the next season is a waste of time. A good game, now marred.

Don’t get me wrong, the game is fun. There have been new game modes implemented, often with very frequent glitches. They do NOT do regular updates, or add more levels or stages to the new modes they start. So I’ll give some credit for trying. There are lots of repeat players. People still figure how to cheat to score crazy points. You can be competitive without spending, but you have to play a TON. Customer service is incredibly frustrating. Lots of brainless, common responses to issues with no real effort to solve anything. I’m currently jailed, for no reason at all, with no help whatsoever from customer service. I actually get the feeling they’re avoiding helping solve the issue. I’ve played numerous versions, over many years. This happens EVERY year for NO reason, with no help solving anything, with no apology for it even happening. Super frustrated about that.

Been following this series for several years now and there doesn’t seem to be too much additions with each new release. Game has some glitches with outfielders running for the ball where it just magically appears in their glove even though the ball was much farther than their glove. Also outfielders randomly have crazy speed to get to a ball. It seems it takes forever for your batter to get to first base regardless of the players speed. Also would love some more camera angles can’t really read where the pitch is going with the angle of the batter as it is. Clear balls look like strikes from the angle but you find out too late that the ball was actually in the dirt or falls short of the plate.
They have great team management option and can even improve and train players which is cool also has plenty of mini games to keep it entertaining.

I’ve played the last 4 installments of Tap Baseball on iOS. This is very similar to its predecessors in many ways, but not all. The free to play aspect which I usually utilize is drastically nerfed with this addition! I am forced to spend at least 1$ to get rid of the game crashing adds. They are after every game as well and without payment made the game almost unplayable to compete even in the slightest. I am finding myself spending money every week to even come close to the level of competition I was able to achieve in previous additions. This version seems like one of the biggest money grabs I have ever seen. The gameplay and club participation is the same as always, but the money aspect really ruins this game for me. Without spending 35-50$ a week don’t expect to be competitive at all!!

by USSbootymuncher

I’m happy EA sports took over the creation of the game but the game has glitchy/lagging issues just like all GLU TSB games. Overall fun to play in the beginning, then players start spending way to much money in the game and makes it very unfair for the casual players who don’t spend a dime. Hopefully EA levels the playing field a little and allows more success finding good players by opening earned boxes

I gave this game a 3 star review because although the game has great graphics and is so addicting to play the ads kill it for me. Minutes taken away from my life at a time I just wanna play. When you win your reward is ads. When you are in the thick of it your reward is an ad. And they are not short or in anyway easy to get out of either. I know you can’t make everybody happy but I bet there is thousands of people who would be happy to see the ads less and more of the game. I would purchase the game if it meant no more ads. As much as I’ve mentioned the word ad is as often as you see them. How annoying is that!? I’m probably going to delete the game because I’m so annoyed.

Again .. I screwed up bringing my players over from lukeone37no2.
I just can’t get my I’d right. I tried on Facebook, email and no luck. If you could help me bring Lukeone37no2 from 22 to 23 I sure would appreciate it Ty. Phil Campbell

by FamouzPr

No lied I didn’t think EA was grab this game the graphics has gone better I give it that but other then that the game still feel fun

by Sousanity

I love this game in all but their are some things that make my love go down for it.
First of all in the tutorial it thought me how to pitch but yet after the tutorial ended and I started playing games I noticed it never let me pitch in games.
Secondly what is going on with these catchers! I hit the ball super far and these catchers come out of nowhere and catch the ball and this happens over and over again and it starts getting really annoying
Lastly my runners are slow like when I hit it far and they get the ball and throw it too second my runners are literally half way through their run and the annoying thing about that is I’ve upgraded my players like 20 times.
But over all I think this is a fun game especially since it has no ads.I really hope you fix these bugs

Everything is good except I can’t link my tap sports baseball 22 account to my tap sports baseball 23 account so I had to make a new account for 23 but what I wanted to do was link my TSB 22 account to my TSB 23 account and it doesn’t work please fix this

by Lucas Caskey

This game is amazing but I hate that you have to spend 4 gold bars in the global chat just to talk with them. If it wasn’t like that, I would’ve rated this game 5 stars. Please make it that you get to chat with them for free. It’s really annoying. Btw it’s annoying when the fathers have speed like sonic and catch the ball. It’s really annoying. Even the people trying to get them out touch the base and not the player. It’s annoying. Can you guys fix this. I have decided to give this 2 stars. I like but these bugs need to be fixed. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day. -Random MLB TSB 23 player.

Lots of free stuff as well as in game purchase’s . So much to do in the game you’ll never get bored!! And the more you play and learn the BETTER it gets!!!! This is the only baseball game your ever going to need to scratch the Baseball junkie itch!! Great support from the staff and creators of this game. I’ve had only a couple of issues and bam….

I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and it’s a lot of fun. Usually you play a game a few times and then you move on it maybe you play it a few more times and then you move on. This game I found myself sticking around even after a few months of playing so that should tell you something. Its progressive so he players keep evolving and the team you play with gets better and better. Overall I’m pleased with the idea of playing baseball like this and look forward to continuing to play. Thanks.
