I have played a number of sports games on the iPhone, and to some extent, they all feel "shoehorned" onto the platform. Since the iPhone does not have dedicated controls, most rely on either spotty "virtual" D-pads or creative touch controls. Regardless, sports game have not quite found themselves on the iPhone yet.

One kind of sports game, though, would seem to be a better fit: text sims. They are perfect for short-term gaming sessions. They do not rely on non-existent controls. Even graphics are not an issue.

Surprisingly, despite the match, text sims are severely underrepresented in the App Store. Baseball Manager 2010 is trying to break that trend.

It definitely has European developers behind it. You can tell they use a lot of Euro football terms.

I couldn't agree more. I'm kinda mad I went for this game. But Baseball Superstars 2010 is amazing. I'd try that out.

I reviewed this game about two weeks ago for Gamerpops, and already spoke to the developer, who promised that the first update would take care of many of these issues.
