How does the game work? Is there hitting and pitching?
The game operates at a managerial level. Players are called managers, and they control at-bats and fielding opportunities, but not individual pitches. Like all WizKids games, SportsClix allows for incredible depth of play. As in a real baseball game, each plate appearance is contested, and to play a complete game, each side must retire a minimum of 27 batters. An at-bat begins with the defensive team making the pitch selection and the offensive team choosing a batting option. Rolling specially designed dice decides the outcome of each at-bat. The defensive team may also roll dice to decide the outcome of balls hit in play.
