If you're playing our mobile version, you might know Astonishing Basketball Manager, our flagship game! I'm proud to announce that ABK is coming to Steam, with a completely new design and adapted gameplay!
The game will be released in early access near the end of the year. Our goal is to build ABK for Steam with the help of our community, so we can make it the best manager game ever! This means great features, online events and our signature random events!

The big Roster update!
Hey baseball fans!
This week we have a big update: the new rosters are now available! But that's not all. You certainly have noticed that we have new artworks for our Steam listing!
This amazing job was made by Holz from Brazil, and you can find his astonishing work here.
On top of that, a few quality of life improvements have been added, like a bigger reactive zone for the buttons at the top of the next game screen (that one's for Andy!), or clickable names in the inbox. Check out the complete list below:
New Features
New Rosters
Improved color selection when editing a team or an university
Bigger reactive zone for the buttons at the top of the next game screen
New color: Bleu de Paris
You can now click on the name of a player in the inbox screen to navigate directly to their details page
Improved UI for the inbox
More links to the shop, and better display of training points in some screens
Steals team rankings now include the success rate
We're also working hard on the "My Franchise player" mode, and it's getting closer! Maybe next time I'll share a screenshot or two ;)
See you at the ballpark!
Summer Update
Hey baseball fans!
This week is all about small details! First of all, the season screen has been redesigned with a cleaner look, and smaller cells for the scoreboard section. Look at this beauty!
On top of that, the boxscore has been changed so it fits longer names in a better way, and you will see more teams displayed in the "recent games" section of the multiplayer practice screen.
Finally, some contextual help popups have been added on some screens. These will help beginners to get a better grasp of the basic features of the game. Because let's be honest, AB can be quite complex!
Here's the complete list of new stuff in this update:
Improved UI for the season screen
Improved boxscore UI for long names
The "Recent games" section can now features 12 players instead of 6
New contextual help popups for beginners
Bug fixes and improvements for the number retirement feature in the stadium
One last thing: if you want to get custom logos in the game, check out this brand new guide! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2844192622

Welcome to the World Cup
Hey baseball fans!
This week's update is a great one! Two big features have been added, and bunch of smaller ones are also joining the party! The first new feature is the "World Cup". This mini-event takes place every 4 years, during Spring Training. You will be asked if you want to take charge of an international baseball team, and lead them to victory! This is a nice break from the regular season. It's also a great feeling to play with stars from the entire league!
The second new feature is the "Bleachers' message" editor. This will allow you to post your own messages to the social network of the game. And this includes the possibility of running "polls". You can finally ask your fans what kind of popcorn they really want (and it's not the one with cheese). Is it a very useful feature? No. Is it fun though? yes, definitely!
Finally, this update includes a bunch of other changes, like the possibility to edit the name of any coach in the league, new team logos, and an improved logo picker! Check the complete list below for more info!
New Features
World Cup
"Bleachers' message" editor
Edit the name of any coach in the league
New team logos
Improved logo picker
Colors are now sorted during the creation of a custom team
A few bug fixes for the Prodigy mode (thanks Andy!)
Help us improve the game!
This week, I have a special request: I've prepared a survey to see how I can improve the Steam version of Astonishing Baseball. I kept it short, and any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time! https://a.sprig.com/cjFicHZhWFl5RGZzfnNpZDowY2VkYmExMy05ZjExLTQxNmItOTJkOC1iMWZhMjU2M2Y0OWU=

A Prodigious Update!
Hi baseball fans!
This week we bring you a big update, with not one but two major features! The first one is "The Prodigy". In this mini-mode, you will take care of a future prospect, going from high school all the way to your graduation! Not only you have to take care of upgrading their stats, but also take very important decisions: do you train or study? Do you go to a college in Seattle or Paris? Do you play baseball or go out with your teammates? And most importantly, should you go to the Halloween party with your best friend or the girl of your dreams? There's no wrong answer (or so they say).
The second new feature is the ability to go deeper in the training of your players. Until now, training was only improving hitting or pitching. But now, you can choose to also train power, speed, or the accuracy of your pitchers! Of course, all your previous training is still there, and keeps the same efficiency. This means that the new system just allows you to make your players even better!
Finally, remember to check out the amazing God Mode DLC if you haven't yet!
Once you've created a save with the God Mode, not only you will get a huge payroll, but you will also be able to force any (possible) trade. That slugger who humiliated your ace during the last ballgame? Bring him to the team in exchange for an unproven minor leaguer. Unfair? Yes! But possible? Definitely! After all, it's not called "God Mode" for nothing!
I'm also sharing a preview of our upcoming "Prodigy" feature. For those who are not familiar with this, it allows you to create your own player, and follow their adventures through high school and college, before they join the team. It contains a lot of narrative elements, and some exciting RPG features. But you will have the opportunity to try for yourself very soon!
See you at the ballpark!
God Mode announcement!
Hello baseball fans!
I'm pleased to announce our very first DLC: the God Mode! It's wishlist time!
This extension will allow you to create God mode saves, where you start with a 300M payroll (virtually unlimited), and the possibility to force trades. Oh, and it also allows you to retire any player from your team! In a nutshell, you can build the team of your dreams with the players you want!
God Mode will be available next Monday, so make sure to wishlist it and follow us so you can be notified when it's available!
The game itself has received a small update this week, in preparation for the DLC's release. Some UI changes have been implemented, mostly in the trades and awards screen.
If you're wondering what's on the radar, well, what about new training options? Or the Prodigy, a narrative feature where you follow the adventures of a player through high school and college, before he joins your team. These will be released in upcoming updates, so stay around for more baseball!
See you at the ballpark!
Start your career today
Hi baseball fans!
This week's update is a big one! Not only a new game mode is available, but new achievements have been added as well!
Career mode is, in my opinion, the best way to play Astonishing Baseball. So I'm really happy it's finally being released on PC! In this mode, you're in charge of a team, as usual. But at the end of a season, you can also decide to change air and move to a new city. Not a fan of New York fanbase? Move to Boston! Tired of the rain of Seattle? Let's coach the Los Angeles team! Oh, but I need to mention a tiny detail: you can also be fired! So make sure to do a good job, or that rebuild you started is not going to last very long. And nobody wants to end up in Detroit, right? Just kidding of course. It's challenging, but really fun!
The new achievements bring now the total to 48! This includes feats associated with random events (The Astonishing Concert or Ever After), but also some very hard ones (MVP-Man or Bigger than any monster). This should keep you busy for a while!
And if you thought it was time for some holidays, it's definitely not for us! Our very first DLC, the God Mode, is coming to Steam soon, alongside new training options and other new features. Stay tuned for these fantastic updates, and thanks for playing Astonishing Baseball!
Achievement Unlocked
Hey baseball fans!
We have a new update today, and it's a nice one! Indeed, you can finally unlock Steam achievements! For now, only 10 of them are available, with much more to come very soon. But you can start to unlock them today!
You want more? Okay! Awards earned by your scouts are now displayed, and a new "training" button has been added for faster access.
The next update will bring new achievements, more training options and points, and our first DLC, the God Mode, allowing you to play with a big payroll and force trades!
