Baseball Boss makes pitch for iPhone

The Web-based baseball simulation “Baseball Boss” is now formatted to work with the iPhone.

Jeff Petry, head of marketing for Challenge Games, answered some questions about how “Baseball Boss” will play in that format.

Q: How will “Baseball Boss” adapt for iPhone?

A: Baseball Boss is a web-based baseball game. It’s not an app that players have to buy and download. We’ve formatted the game to work with the iPhone functions and layout. No installation is needed, but players need to create an account at www.baseballboss.com via a computer. Then they can access Baseball Boss using the iPhone’s web browser.
Q: What will be the major advantages to being available on the iPhone?

A: Our company mission is to create online, short-form games that are challenging, fun and easy to play whether you’re a serious or casual gamer. This makes the iPhone a perfect fit. You can use iPhone’s browser to play Baseball Boss anytime, from anywhere. So it is perfect for someone on-the-go or who has a few minutes to to get that quick baseball and gaming fix.
Q: Have features been added to the game? Will some features not make the iPhone cut?

A: Players can accept challenges and see the results, read messages, browse their cards and review the status of auctions on their iPhone.

There are few differences between the play on the iPhone versus a computer, and we are planning to add to what you can do on iPhone over time. You start by creating an account via a computer, then can play on a either you computer or iPhone.

Before being able to use the iPhone to play Baseball Boss, players will need to use a computer to create a free account at www.baseballboss.com.
