College Baseball: Dynasty Builder

I'm a big fan of the sports management games, and I'd been looking for one that scratched a particular itch for college baseball. This did it... a real good scratch. It's still in development, and it's somewhat bare-bones at the moment. It's got the systems in place like the other sports management games do, and it works very similar to the football and basketball management games from this genre. There are differences, too. Recruiting is different and takes a bit to begin understanding it. You'll have to start a half-dozen games from the beginning to begin feeling comfortable with it. What I really enjoy about these types of game is being able to mod them with different leagues, teams, and conferences. The JSONs are easy to modify and there are plenty of sets to download from the Discord. Years of the past, conferences long-gone. Create your own university to crawl from the bottom to with the CWS. What really got me to get this game, however, was the inclusion of a High School mode. You'll have to download a league from the Discord or make your own, but it's right there in the game. It's not just a clone, either. Tryouts replace recruiting. State championships from class …

This is a fun college baseball simulation game. It has most of what you would expect, like recruiting, setting lineups, conference tournaments, the college world series, and more. The only thing missing is in-game management, and at the rate this developer adds new features to the game, it may well be in the pipeline. There are no real colleges included with the game, but there is an active community that has re-made the modern college landscape, complete with logos for teams and conferences. There is a high school mode as well, and several community members have made their home state's high school baseball teams playable in game. I have done so as well. I would have recommended this game for baseball management game fans or college sport management fans long before many of the recent updates went live, and I whole-heartedly recommend the game in its current state. The developer is extremely responsive on the Discord, and many community member suggestions have made it in to the game. If you think of anything the game's missing and let the dev know, there is a high chance you'll see it in the game in a matter of days if it is viable. I have watched it happen several times…

I think this is one of my favorite sport sims ever. It's just easy to play and enjoy and it has the mechanics to be fun and its being improved all the time. I'm happy to have found this game!

Good :)

Great game. Wish High School had conference tournaments but this game is still fun

This is my kind of sports management sim - enough depth to be compelling, not too much that I can't get a few seasons in during a shorter session. Having a lot of fun with it so far and the dev has been very responsive in the Discord. Looking forward to sinking more time into this one.
