You can earn this in-game currency at a modest clip, but Big Win Baseball also allows you to buy coins and bucks through in-app purchases. You can probably get by in a treading-water sort of way without paying for in-game currency, but to build a successful team, I feel that Big Win Baseball strongly nudges you toward the in-app purchase route. App makers have a right to pursue revenue, of course, but in this case, it feels like more thought was put into ways of requiring a big bankroll of in-game coins and bucks than in making a compelling game.

When I download a game about baseball, I want to concern myself with runs batted in and whether or not to use a suicide squeeze. I don't want to spend my time checking the balance on my fictional bank account. Big Win Baseball puts an emphasis on the latter, and as a result, this game really drops the ball.
