Disappointing.

Needs improvement.

Why is this game so damn slow?

I really want my money back after buying this. Extremely disappointed!!!

An instant classic

Finally!!! A great baseball sim for the iPhone. This is the baseball sim the true baseball fans have been waiting for. I just purchased a couple of hours ago and cant stop playing it. There are many options to control and view the game.. Its very life like in many ways. Kudos to Eddie and his team for bringing this classic to the iPhone . I very much look forward to the next release with fan suggested features.

Excellent

Finally a good baseball mgmt simulation game for iPhone. Please keep updating it and add more features like current season and Cities.

OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! THIS APP IS almost PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Im now up to a little over 1,300 apps, and Im TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!!!! Even if you dont like Baseball, lets say you cant stand it, bores you to death. YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!! Nothing at the app store even comes close!!!! I swear, I got a really BAD app ADDICTION...,THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE LAST APP I BUY!!! Its THAT GOOD!!!!

Disappointing

This game is a crash fiesta. Too many errors especially considering the price. The original game over 20 years ago worked much better than this. A real disappointment.

Not the Sports Simulator Ive Been Waiting For

I have been dying for a real sports simulator for the iPhone. Deep stats, seasons, etc. This is not it. Having fond memories of the original Earl Weaver game, I had hopes that this would at least meet those standards and ideally would show the benefits of improvements in the genre. But instead this is a step back. Pros: Above Average in game simulator, good enough variety of graphics modes for a sim game. Cons: Only three rosters available, poor stats, no season mode, insufficient settings, no documentation (clicking help brings up blank page). Overall: For $8 I expected an in depth sports sim for the iPhone, and instead got an average game simulator from old code worth about $1.

A Total Rip-off

This is a total rip-off for 7.99. Im greatly disappoint. Come on apple!!!!!!!

Horrible! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!

Needs a major update, this is full of bugs. I dont mind spending money but this is a rip off, hurry up & clean up all the problems: way to many to list.

iPod Touch - wont load

I purchased this game because of the advertised compatibility with the iPod touch - loaded with the latest software. I purchased the game and have tried numerous time to load it onto my iPod - each time I get a message that tells me that this game only works with an iPhone. Whats up?

Can only get better - looking forward to some updates

All the people who rated this game low need to read the release notes - sounds like there is way more to come in future updates so hang tight. There is some great promise here and I am hopeful it will live up to the glory that was EWB back in the day. If you dont compare the two (iPhone versus PC) then this is a pretty good baseball game right now that can only get better. But if you do compare them as they stand today then you will probably be disappointed with no season mode. But as far as baseball sims out there for the iPhone this one has to be one of the better ones (even without the updates)

Love it!

I never played the original, so I can only go off this version. For a game on your phone, its amazing. Its a little hard to get used to, but Im getting the hang quick. Im giving 5 stars for the potential this game has. A few bugs need to be worked out, but I cant wait for the updates, its gonna be awsome! Update The first update is great. I love the game. Easily the best game on iPhone! Cant wait for more rosters, although the ones included are great.

Unstable

The new update has made the app even more unstable. The game is fun as I enjoy the managerial games like Strat o matic. But it needs to be more reliable. Should be a little better for $8. Nothing worse than the game crashing during a season game.

Earl Weaver Baseball for the win!

I was seriously addicted to the original Earl Weaver Baseball on the Amiga and this port is bringing back memories. Hopefully multiplayer and draft mode becomes available in the future so I can relive my oldies league!

Fantastic Game

A fantastic game, really fun to play. Cant wait to see what some of the upcoming enhancements will bring.

Enjoying alot!

Im really enjoying this game, but im most excited about what is to come. I spent hours as a kid playing the original EWB on the PC. Mostly liked creating leagues withmy friends. We would create our own teams and stadiums. We would play complete seasons. I hope that these features make it to the iphone. Thanks Eddie!

Awesome but not done

Good product thats not for the casual baseball gamer. A few glitches still but statheads and old school gamers will appreciate eddies hard work.

Great

I was thinking that it would be nice to find a baseball game as nice as the old Earl Weaver. And here it is. I suppose that the current state of graphics has left this one a bit behind. And there are a few glitches, omissions, and even an occasional crash. But its still EWB on the iPhone! A great game for those who like to manage and think about stats. Where else could Koufax pitch to Ruth with the game on the line?

Stat based goodness

Great stats oriented alternative to the arcade baseball titles in the app store. Has the feel of classic Earl Weaver baseball

What a Waste!

V1.0.2 The defense is cluless where the ball should be thrown on a play. The batter "slide" is slow and not precise. The pitch to batter lacks proper depth proprtion. Batter swing action should not be so flat for 3D effect. April Fools for this app. Update New updated version still buggy Clumsy field play Weird stadium graphics Sound fades or just disappears Too bad. This game could be good Update: Now the game crashes after it loads!!! They should call it the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme!!! It says Play Ball and all you get is a final score. I was robbed of 8 dollars!
