In BUNT 2013, baseball fans collect their favorite Major League Baseball players, play their cards to earn points, and compete with other fans to climb the leaderboard and unlock awards. Every detail of classic card collecting is brought back to life in BUNT 2013.
BUNT 2013 offers a set of fun features that include:
-- Authentic and Official Collecting - Collect singles or multiples of 300
of today's hottest Major League Baseball stars on the exclusive digital
trading cards from Topps.
-- Real-time Valuation - Is your favorite player in a slump? Cards change
in value based on actual on-the-field performance, all in real-time. Use
all-new interactive charts, player rankings, and heat indexes to scope
out players on the rise or down in the dumps.
-- Real People Matter - Card conventions weren't run by robots. Chat and
trade with your actual friends and neighbors, not with bots or
simulators, using deep Facebook and Twitter integration.
-- Strategic Trading - Can't get that super-star or that guy with the
mullet? Try 3-for-1 trading to get the rarest or most coveted of cards,
but choose your cards and your trading partners wisely.
-- Creative Completion - Complete to the beat of a different drummer. Mix
and match your collection and get rewarded for fun and interesting
collections, like the "All Mustache Club."
-- Constantly Informative - Don't just collect, but learn about your
players, from their stats to their superstitions. Stay up-to-date and in
the know as the back of the baseball card is digitally reimagined.
"Based on fan feedback, we completely re-imagined BUNT 2013 to offer fans what they wanted, which is a genuine experience of one of America's favorite pastimes: collecting and trading baseball cards," said Michael Bramlage, Vice President of Digital at the Topps Company, Inc. "BUNT is a mix of nostalgia and innovation. It's just like what you remember from growing up, but with added twists like real-time scoring. That's why we believe BUNT 2013 is a must-have app for baseball fans of all ages."
With the fun and thrill of baseball card collecting now in an app, one wonders, where's the gum?
BUNT 2013 is free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
