About This Game

The arena is loud, the clock is running and everyone is looking at you. In Baseline Boss you are the head coach of a pro team, and every decision ends up on the scoreboard.

Your HQ

Every game day starts at your desk, with today's mission, the next opponent and the situation report. From here you head to roster, tactics, contracts, scouting and press.

Roster and starting five

Strengths, weaknesses, ratings and contracts of every player sit in their personnel file. You decide who starts and who waits on the bench.

Contracts and budget

Sign free agents on clear terms. Your budget shows right away what a new signing costs until the end of the season.

Live on game day

The game is simulated possession by possession. You control live:
  • Tactics (Control, Tempo or Spacing)
  • Substitutions with an eye on freshness and fouls
  • Playback speed
The shot chart, radio feed and scoreboard show what really happens.

League and press

30 teams battle for the standings. After every game the newspaper reports only what actually happened.

A coach with feelings

From thrilled to panicking, your coach shows how things are going, based on results, streaks and the budget.

Planned for release

  • Story mode: from coaching a kids' school team to a pro franchise by pure chance, told with motion comics and trash-talk duels
  • Data editor for leagues, clubs and crests
  • More league structures
  • Timeouts on game day

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI tools were used during development to create pre-made content that ships with the game and appears on this store page: illustrated 2D artwork (menu scenes, character poses, crowd and texture images, logo) was generated with OpenAI image generation; music and sound effects were generated with ElevenLabs; 3D character models and some animations were generated with Tripo. All of it was selected, edited and assembled by the developers. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play and does not connect to any AI service.
