The title is a free-to-play game, where Facebook users can play for free and pay real money for virtual goods.

It puts fans inside their favorite MLB ballparks in high-definition virtual reality. Rather than focusing purely on action, you manage your team and try to win as many games as you can, building up the stats of your players who are also your Facebook friends.

In the actual gameplay, your player stands at the plate ready to swing. You have to click on one of nine boxes that indicate where you think the rival pitcher will throw the ball.

If you guess right, you get a hit or a home run. If you guess wrong, you swing and miss. Rather, it is a game you control with a computer mouse that has limited interactivity and limited animations.

The more you score and win, the more points you earn. You can use those points to buy better players. You can play in a home-run derby, a single-inning game, or month-long seasons.

Cheng said that the company takes its time making high-quality games. It was founded in but has only launched two games, now.

Part of the issue was that the team had to continuously upgrade and improve World Golf Tour as an ongoing service. The meter, a moving bar used to give the desired direction to the shot, is often disturbingly 'jumpy' as non-fluid and results in a considerable disruption of the gaming experience.

Another concern has been 'sandbagging', a term coined by the community to discuss an ongoing issue of skilled players artificially lowering their average score.

This practice is used to compete in tournament brackets far below the skill level of the "sandbagger", thus giving them a better chance to place high and win in-game credits at the expense of the other players.

Finally, quitting the game before completion has been a concern since the early years of WGT. It typically occurs when a player is performing poorly and decides to abandon the game, so as to preserve their average score.

Players have repeatedly called for WGT to reduce a person's score when they habitually quit as a deterrent to this behavior. In an attempt to remedy these concerns a 'reputation indicator' was introduced, showing players the percentage of finished games of others before the round is started.

The advent of challenge games, which require an amount of non-redeemable credits to be put upfront, and which are lost if the player leaves, has also discouraged quitting.

Nonetheless, some in the community still call for some sort of punishment to a quitter's score, despite the fact that quitting forfeits a match for the offender and has no negative impact on the score of other players.
