We're glad to present you our latest update for Astonishing Baseball Manager: a new complete minor team system!
Historically, in AB, you could only send major leaguers to your minor team, and only manage those, disregarding the other members of the team. No more! Your minor team will now display every minor leaguer in it, allowing you to see their progress through time, and calling them up if you find them promising!
We're also introducing some UI improvements and bug fixes, in order to improve even more your baseball experience!
Complete changelog
New minor team system
UI improvements for the front office, the draft, the offseason and more
Bug fixes for achievements, the draft, superstars and relievers
See you at the ballpark!
