Detailed Review

MLB Rivals represents Com2uS Corp.'s entry into officially licensed MLB mobile gaming, positioning itself as a comprehensive baseball simulation platform. The game leverages the full 2025 MLB schedule and incorporates real-world baseball operations through its card-based player system, offering an authentic managerial experience within a mobile-friendly format. The core gameplay revolves around the 2025 Live Cards system, which dynamically reflects real-world player performances and statistics. The newly implemented Development Transfer System allows strategic flexibility by enabling players to transfer development progress to new cards of the same position, reducing redundancy when acquiring upgraded players. The addition of Hall of Fame legend cards provides historical depth, while adjustable League Difficulty settings cater to both casual players and competitive enthusiasts seeking challenging gameplay scenarios. User interface design follows modern mobile gaming conventions with intuitive card management screens and responsive gameplay controls. The real-world usage pattern typically involves short session gameplay perfect for mobile consumption, though deeper team management aspects reward extended engagement. The visual presentation maintains official MLB branding while optimizing for mobile device screens, though some users note occasional animation inconsistencies during key moments. User feedback trends indicate strong satisfaction with the authentic MLB experience, though specific feature requests emerge consistently. WillgoRedSox (June 23, 2025) requested franchise mode expansion and additional music options, while Gdubs0713 (June 20, 2025) emphasized the need for controller support compatibility. Theman4277283884838 (June 25, 2025) suggested player trading functionality, and Would be much appreciated (June 24, 2025) noted celebration animation improvements for championship moments despite overall positive reception. The application demonstrates strengths in official licensing implementation and strategic depth through its card development systems. Limitations include the absence of controller support and some animation polish issues. Ideal use cases involve baseball fans seeking authentic MLB management experiences during commute periods or between activities, though competitive players may desire more robust multiplayer features and control options for extended gameplay sessions.

Please add controller support. Again I love this game but it would be super cool if it supported Xbox controllers or Backbone controllers. Love this game so much but one suggestion.

MLB Rivals is seriously one of the best baseball games on mobile. The graphics, gameplay, and roster updates are top-tier. It captures the MLB vibe super well. But I think it could be even better with one feature: Please add a celebration animation after winning the World Series — like the team rushing the field and jumping into a dogpile! That moment is iconic in real baseball, and it would make the win feel so much more rewarding. Right now, the ending feels kinda flat after such a big achievement. Also, it would be 🔥 if we could customize our team — like name, city, colors, logo, and uniforms. Even if it’s just for casual modes or a new “franchise” mode. That would make it feel way more personal and fun. Overall, I love this game. Just hoping these ideas get added someday. Keep up the great work! Amazing Game, Just Needs One Thing!
