Welcome to the beginner’s guide for Big Win MLB for the iPhone and Android! This game is, essentially, the sequel to Big Win Baseball, and it plays very similarly except for one major change, which is that it features real life baseball players. Your goal is to collect cards to build your team, manage your team with contracts and stat boosts, and win the pennants, and rise up the charts as the top player in the game. Read on for the beginner’s guide to Big Win MLB!
The play of the games is pretty straightforward. You automatically begin with a set team full of bronze cards. Once you start a game, you’ll be able to pick up to 3 Big Impact cards, which provide buffs that aid your team. You’ll gain fans and coins if you win, and if you lose, you’ll gain less fans and less coins. You can’t use duplicate Big Impact cards, and once they are used, they are used up.
The one other big change from Big Win Baseball is that there isn’t a quick game mode anymore. There are four pennants you can play, which are amateur 10, amateur 20, pro 10 and pro 20. The two amateur pennants will match you against a group of around 10 other players based on your rank (AKA your experience level), and the pro pennants will match you against other players completely at random. The 10 and 20 refer, of course, to how many games there are in each pennant.
If you place between first and fifth in the pennants, you’ll win Big Bucks and Coins, which are the two currencies of the game. 20 game pennants earn you more than 10 game pennants. Once you pick your Big Impact cards, you will be able to either watch the game in its entirety, or to skip ahead to the results. It doesn’t matter which one you do, as the results will be the same either way.
Each game that you play uses one energy, which is represented by the little baseballs in the lower left corner of the screen. If you run out of energy you won’t be able to play games anymore. You can either wait for it to regenerate on its own, gain rank by earning enough fans to increase your level, which automatically regenerates energy, or set the time ahead on your iPhone to earn a bunch of free energy.
