There have been a number of baseball titles that have graced the iPhone, but now we are finally starting to see officially licensed games featuring real teams and players. 9 Innings Pro Baseball 2011 is the latest, incorporating real-player likenesses through the MLBPA license. However, the lack of real teams is one of this game’s few faults. With that said, 9 Innings 2011 is still a worthy addition to your iPhone library.

From a gameplay perspective, it is pretty standard hardball on your phone: computer-controlled fielding, touch-based pitch location/accuracy and timed hitting. While it’s nothing terribly new, it is handled in a superb and relatively straight-forward fashion. Little things, like being able to touch anywhere on the screen to hit or throw to a cutoff man, make it a pleasure to play on the mobile device.

The game boasts over 750 real players. The players are represented by cards and basic stats. Teams do not feature full 25-man rosters, rather a starting lineup, five-man rotation, and a healthy collection of bullpen and bench players. It’s not exactly sim, but it works in a game like this.

Thanks, great review CR! I'm actually waiting on the Android version on 9 Innings... I have Homerun Battle 3D from Com2uSCorp, and I absolutely love it. Looking forward to playing this one as well.

I have it and it's pretty decent. I just wish MLB The Show or 2k would make a baseball game for the iPod Touch/iPhone.

Simply put, this is not the ultimate baseball simulation, either on the iPhone or amongst games as a whole. But it is a lot of fun and makes for a great airplane diversion. Of all the baseball games I have played on the platform, this one has been the most enjoyable to play on a daily basiscristian audiger.

I might have to try this out. I enjoyed Baseball Superstars I have wanted a more "sim" style baseball game for my iPhone.

It's only $2.99 and there is a lite version as well. I'm going to try it out.
