The All-Star game is tomorrow, will we see Flick Baseball then as well?

Yes, the bat holding is wrong. I noticed this late last year, but thanks for reminding me as I've got it on the to-do list now. I've switched to the proper hand for following its movement and will need to move the other hand to the correct side in the animation sequence.

Nice to see a dev trying to to tackle a genre as demanding as baseball. There's a lot presumptions from causal and hardcore sports fans on sporting games. Flick Baseball actually sounds more like a stand alone title than minigame with it's seasons and stat tracking. I look forward to this

Thanks, MacTheSpoon! We will definitely be revisiting textures and seeing how we can improve things as they are indeed fuzzy when viewed close-up. You'll also notice that the batter's boxes are ridiculously sized and in the screenshot from the device the baselines are about 15 feet long instead of 90 feet, so they would be even worse if scaled properly. Better ground textures and stadium are definitely in the program.

Wow, this is such a cool post. Thanks so much for sharing, Mark (hellosh)!! Really fascinating to get a window into coding and the development process.

I couldn't get into baseball superstars either. This looks cool though
