Itās free-to-play, pay-to-upgrade; the app has a short tutorial, and anyone who played FIFA or Madden will understand how it works immediately.
Given how baseball is the original card-collecting sport, it was a natural for this sort of thing and really only a matter of time until we saw it.
2K Sportsā exclusive third-party developerās license with MLB, which established MLB 2K as the only game available on all platforms other than the PS3, does not cover browser-based games, which were nowhere near the revenue stream in 2005 that they are now. Thatās how Segaās MLB Manager Online, a more fully featured freemium managment sim, was able to launch earlier this month.
