What is Baseball Stars about?

Baseball Stars, due to the introduction of a battery backup, allowed players to create a team and season which could be stored, so that statistics were retained between playing sessions. Players were able to create players and teams, even going so far as naming these elements. As well, the game introduced managerial controls, such as the ability to earn money, gain prestige, and upgrade players on the roster. David Littman, a producer on EA's NHL series of games, has said that the popular GM mode in the NHL games was inspired by Baseball Stars, so the influence it has has continued. Gameplay involved taking part in a season, or simply a one-off versus mode. The rules of the game stayed true to baseball, and the realism was seen as being far beyond anything that had come prior to its release.

Should I stream Baseball Stars on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 9 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 9 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 9 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is Baseball Stars too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Baseball Stars, and the one English stream holds all 9 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
