BREAKCAMP — Free HTML5 MLB career sim (browser / PWA)

[scifferous]

Hi everyone — I built BREAKCAMP, a free fan-made baseball career sim you can play in your browser. Create a player and make the decisions that take them from high school through the draft, the minors, Opening Day roster battles, call-ups, contracts, and retirement.

Play free: https://breakcamp.shaly-c.workers.dev/

You can play a custom career, try the same daily challenge as everyone else, duel a friend, or chase a spot in the Hall of Fame. It works on desktop and mobile and can be installed as a PWA.

I’d love feedback from baseball fans: Do the roster decisions and the minors-to-majors climb feel convincing? Is there a moment where the pace drags or a choice needs more context?

BREAKCAMP is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with MLB.

This looks really interesting. I especially like the focus on the whole career arc instead of just individual matches. The minors → call-up → options loop sounds like it could create some great “one more season” stories.

For the first-impression friction, I’d probably make the first meaningful decision happen as early as possible, even if the deeper contract and roster systems unlock after a short introduction. I’m working on a browser-based management game too, so I’m very interested in how you balance long-term progression with quick sessions.

Good luck with it — I’ll give it a try!

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! That first meaningful choice is exactly the part I want to get right. BREAKCAMP is built around decisions that carry through the whole career, so I’m watching whether the opening gets players to a real baseball choice quickly enough without burying them in roster rules. If you do try it, I’d especially value hearing where your first session feels slow or unclear. Good luck with your management game too!
