"With a great menu system driving the entire game, excellent AI, and the ability to micro-manage almost everything you could dream of in a sports game, it's hard to want anything else of a mobile baseball management sim." (Touch Arcade)
MLB Manager 2016 features a living world that uses the same realistic simulation engine found in Out of the Park Baseball, the best-selling and best-rated baseball management game of all time. Each MLB team in the game features its actual 40-man projected 2016 Opening Day roster. The player ratings are based on the ZiPS player projection system created by famous baseball analyst Dan Szymborski.
New features in MLB Manager 2016 include:
- 2016 Opening Day MLB rosters
- Offical MLBPA license
- New game logs
- New trade difficulty setting
- Recoded and improved AI throughout the game
The game offers three gameplay modes:
- Major League Baseball Game: Choose your favorite MLB team and play out the 2016 season and beyond. There is no limit, guide your team into the future! Will Bryce Harper dominate the National League again? How will David Price perform in his new home ballpark Fenway Park? Will rising star Corey Seager win the Rookie of the Year award in the NL? How will the young guns in the AL develop, among them Carlos Correa, Miguel Sano and Francisco Lindor? Will the Kansas City Royals repeat as World Series Champions and build a dynasty?
- Fictional Game: MLB Manager creates one of four fictional baseball worlds and populates it with fresh players and clubs. Select a team and build a dynasty from scratch.
- Historical MLB Game: Choose one of three past MLB seasons -- 1919, 1939, or 2012 -- and see if it produces a different outcome. Additional historical seasons are available as in-app purchase for $0.99 each, $4.99 for a 10-season bundle, or $19.99 for all available seasons (115 in total!). International currency conversion rates may apply.
After selecting a gameplay mode, choose a team and handle every aspect of managing it:
- Manage your team, set lineups, depth charts, pitching staff and more!
- Call the shots from the dugout and watch the games unfold.
- Step into the shoes of the General Manager: Negotiate contracts, sign free agents, put together trades, draft the next superstar, promote players from the minors etc.
During games, the play-by-play text is generated from a huge database of tens of thousands of lines that bring the action alive. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, you're down by two runs and you have your best hitter stepping to the plate against your opponent's rock-solid closer ... What will happen next?
During the season, news tickers bring you headlines from around the leagues! Your biggest rival just pulled off a blockbuster trade with the trading deadline looming ... How will you respond?
As MLB Manager's living world evolves, players develop their careers, age, and eventually retire, with a possible spot in the OOTP Hall of Fame waiting for them. New players drafted by you and groomed in the minors take their place and become the next generation of superstars.
MLB Manager 2016 is the ultimate game for baseball fans!

Great game I’ve been playing it since 2014. Very addicting I love how the game continues to update.
Amazing game but could improve.

This is my favorite game in the entire App Store. I love it, however there are definitely some improvements to be had. - international free agents Why can't these be in the game. There should be a short period to sign international free agents like there is in real life. - Trade logic Why do I get offered the worst trades, as if I'm going to trade my top prospect for your 39 yr old starter - in game simulation, runners in scoring position When simulating we have the option to simulate to any inning, simulate 1 full inning or simulate a half an inning, we should be allowed to simulate until there are RISP so we know when to substitute our pitcher out. - Rating system When I have a player that is batting .300 at the trade deadline, he should be worth a good bit. But no, in this game it goes only off his rating which is almost set in stone. I feel as though the trade value should be based a good bit on how they have been playing that season and not just off of their rating. -We should have real draft classes Maybe not even for the current saves, but give us actual draft classes from the 1995 season if we have a save from that year. - Draft pick negotiations We should actually have to sign our draft picks like we do in real life and not just draft as if they're automatically signed. Overall, a fantastic game, but these are just suggestions for improvements.

Great baseball sim I love it. Great value as well, you can play this game for hours.
This game needs some TLC

Philly is a small market team? When did that happen? Apparently most of the population left Philly since 2015 according to Out of the Park. This used to be a consistently well-done game but apparently OOTP has decided to not care about it anymore. So many mistakes that are noticeable if you spend a little bit of time playing the game.

This is a fun game to play but I'm an old strat-o-matic player and love the stats. This simulator doesn't reproduce accurate stats to what happened in real life. Ran the 1927 season multiple times and babe Ruth never came close to 50 home runs let alone the actual 60 he hit in real life. So I'm disappointed but this is still a fun game to pass the time.
Awesome

Used to play baseball mogul on my computer. Since I no longer have a computer this is the best game out there for baseball. Now all they need is a version for football!!!!
Great Game

This is a great game and I love it... But their are some features that could be added, and it would be nice if a players value wasn't based off their rating but their stats. Overall great game!
Still broken on iPad Pro!!!

Long time supporter of this game but couldn't be more disappointed that it STILL does not work on 12.9" iPad Pro. More than 3 months after game release and even longer since iPad Pro hit stores and they seemingly have no interest in fixing. Maybe they've determined that the cost of a fix isn't worth it. But they won't be getting my money next year. It's a total game-breaking bug, people. Buyer beware!!!!
