MLB Manager 2016
"With a great menu system driving the entire game, excellent AI, and the ability to micro-manage almost everything you could dream of in a sports game, it's hard to want anything else of a mobile baseball management sim." (Touch Arcade)
MLB Manager 2016 features a living world that uses the same realistic simulation engine found in Out of the Park Baseball, the best-selling and best-rated baseball management game of all time. Each MLB team in the game features its actual 40-man projected 2016 Opening Day roster. The player ratings are based on the ZiPS player projection system created by famous baseball analyst Dan Szymborski.
New features in MLB Manager 2016 include:
- 2016 Opening Day MLB rosters
- Offical MLBPA license
- New game logs
- New trade difficulty setting
- Recoded and improved AI throughout the game
The game offers three gameplay modes:
- Major League Baseball Game: Choose your favorite MLB team and play out the 2016 season and beyond. There is no limit, guide your team into the future! Will Bryce Harper dominate the National League again? How will David Price perform in his new home ballpark Fenway Park? Will rising star Corey Seager win the Rookie of the Year award in the NL? How will the young guns in the AL develop, among them Carlos Correa, Miguel Sano and Francisco Lindor? Will the Kansas City Royals repeat as World Series Champions and build a dynasty?
- Fictional Game: MLB Manager creates one of four fictional baseball worlds and populates it with fresh players and clubs. Select a team and build a dynasty from scratch.
- Historical MLB Game: Choose one of three past MLB seasons -
- 1919, 1939, or 2012 -
- and see if it produces a different outcome. Additional historical seasons are available as in-app purchase for $0.99 each, $4.99 for a 10-season bundle, or $19.99 for all available seasons (115 in total!). International currency conversion rates may apply.
After selecting a gameplay mode, choose a team and handle every aspect of managing it:
- Manage your team, set lineups, depth charts, pitching staff and more!
- Call the shots from the dugout and watch the games unfold.
- Step into the shoes of the General Manager: Negotiate contracts, sign free agents, put together trades, draft the next superstar, promote players from the minors etc.
During games, the play-by-play text is generated from a huge database of tens of thousands of lines that bring the action alive. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, you're down by two runs and you have your best hitter stepping to the plate against your opponent's rock-solid closer ... What will happen next?
During the season, news tickers bring you headlines from around the leagues! Your biggest rival just pulled off a blockbuster trade with the trading deadline looming ... How will you respond?
As MLB Manager's living world evolves, players develop their careers, age, and eventually retire, with a possible spot in the OOTP Hall of Fame waiting for them. New players drafted by you and groomed in the minors take their place and become the next generation of superstars.
MLB Manager 2016 is the ultimate game for baseball fans!

This used to be a fun pastime. The recent update seems to have broken the automatic save feature. When resuming a season not only many weeks of statistics have been lost but upon continuing the same season it does not end the season at 162 games. I managed to play a season with over 200 games. When I tried again and the same pattern emerged I stopped playing and removed it. Too bad.
This is a really good game, however, I belive it could deepen. The PC version of the game includes, waivers, rule 5 draft, international signings, minor league stats, hiring and firing your staff. These features are missing in the mobile version and is keeping it from being an amazing game. Please consider adding these different features in your next mobile version!
This game is cool except the same function does not work. At first, when I was losing progress I thought it had auto save but even when I manually click the option to save game my progress is not saved. This should be table stakes to have a casual mobile reliably save progress.
I'm a big OOTP fan and have enjoyed the older mobile games but this one just left me very disappointed. The game doesn't register your touch a lot of the time and some pop up menus sometimes get stuck. The gameplay can be very random at times (granted, this is baseball) but too many stars just become dreadful players overnight. MLB Manager feels like an unimportant side project and plays like it. OOTP is great but the developers - who have ignored my feedback/questions on numerous occasions - missed a trick
I bought this a month earlier and had to have it refunded because the touch screen issues made the game unplayable. Just saw they updated it and gave it another go. It has been fixed, at least for my note 4. I am loving the game so far. There are some features i would have liked them to include, but this game is only 4.99 and i paid like 40 bucks for its big brother (OOTPB 17). I didn't see anybody say if the touch issues were fixed in the reviews so thats why I decided to post one. Hope this helps.
I hadn't really found a truly fun and deep game for a relatively low price. That changed when I found out the Out of the Park Baseball dev team made a more simple and easier to understand version of their popular PC game. While it may be simpler, that doesn't take away from how amazing this game is. It is in-depth, fun, and at the same time excruciating painful when you lose in Game 6 of the World Series with a 4 run lead. It is a must buy to me.
I love the game but the game saving bugs are brutal. You basically can't risk saving a game mid-season or you run the risk of accumulating stats for X number of games, only to be bounced back to Opening Day after you continue your existing game. Just ruins your whole franchise.
The game is a lot of fun but I have serious issues with it saving things properly. I will click save, close the game, open it back up and I will have lost much of what I had last done. Fix the saving issues and this wohld be a great game.
I love the game , and I have ABSOLUTELY NO complaints, but I would really like if you gave FHM a mobile version too , I would play it
This seemed a decent game until I was playing a game against the Marlins which I won 5-4. I came away from the game on the leave game screen. When I went back in it sent me back 2 innings. I tried to replay it but lost 😠😠ðŸ˜
Worked like a charm on my old iPhone 6. Got s7 edge and the games are now laggy and slower
This game is awesome if your into this sort of game. Incredibly detailed and fun. Had an issue with the touch at the last update. But issue has since been fixed. Touch is still kinda wonky but much better. But overall in my opinion the best game of its kind.
Great game. However extremely disappointed that after after purchasing all seasons for $14.99 that they were lost when doing factory reset on my Samsung tablet. .
I loved this game, until the most recent update broke it. Constantly crashes now.
Highly disappointed in the fact you can't even read the game log or boxscore at the end of a game. Love the pc version, but this needs work for higher rating.
The game gets better and better each year. A must for all fans of statistics associated with baseball.
...but the broken save function makes it absolutely useless. I get into August, save and return and find myself back in April with some (but not all) of the stats erased.
Not as detailed as the PC version but good enough. I was playing my second game and the announcer stopped play because someone threw a cummerbund on the field! A cummerbund how cool is that?
Save function not working properly makes game unplayable
I like this game a lot...I bought 24 extra seasons as well...The recap descriptions are so historical...but why no recap for 2015?? Please update soon with a description it makes it more worthy of my purchase. Besides a few glitches it's a very good app.
Was great before the recent update, now it's incredibly frustrating to scroll up and down, save, etc... was 5🌟 before now it's "meh"...
Save problem. Lost stats and trade.
Guys I have played through many of season with this game keep it going not had any of the problems these other ppl complain about perfect game I visited your site when will 17 be released also one thing I think there should be is owner approval rating with a chance to be fired
Having a blast with this game.
Greatest game ever
Any idea when 2017 is coming out?
Even after an update there are still some horribly rated players and a player that had "bench player" as their expectation become infuriated if they are put in the starting lineup
I think this game is great however when u try to see the box scores and stats it is very small letters and you can't see them well. Also there doesn't seem to be alot of options in trading and stuff at the beggining in settings. Plz fix those two things and I will give u five stars. Ty
