Super Mega Baseball is a Throwback of the Good Kind (PS4 Review)

11:23 AM - December 15, 2014 by RaychelSnr

If you’re an older sports gamer, than you probably have fond memories of past baseball games such as Ken Griffey Jr.’s Winning Run, R.B.I Baseball (Classic version) and Baseball Stars. What do all of these games have in common? Well, that would be a simple, engaging, and fun approach to America’s past time. While games like this are a rarity these days, the ambitious developer, Metalhead, aims to bring a small piece of that era back, with Super Mega Baseball. Did they succeed?

wonder how hard it would be for them to implement a replay option...i made a sweet jumping catch at the wall yesterday and it would have been nice to see the replay...i even got the wall catch trophy for it.

I don't move the reticle. It moves on its own. I play on 50 ego as well.

As you increase ego, it moves more slowly to the pitch's last position while opposing pitch speed is ramped up to nearly impossible levels.

I only move it on pitches down in the zone. Anywhere else I struggle, so I just wait for close pitches.

Two different difficulties would be helpful. The pitching does get harder higher up but for me where I would have to put the difficulty, it makes hitting almost impossible.

Hope this is only the beginning for this game. A sequel with stadiums for all teams would be nice. And of course more user settings/sliders.

I start it low at the bottom of the zone and a tad away where I like it in real life and that way I can jump on a fastball and crush it if I get one, otherwise I know lower is a ball, and too much away is a ball. I don't usually want to chase high fastballs anyway and the slower stuff I can ajust to easily.

So I think having a certain starting 'preference' helps especially if it's along 1 border of the zone for easy reference.

But I do move the cursor, it's sensitive and I've learned to feather it or if I have 2 strikes, using contact helps (if I'm not already using it depending on the player) and I will move it quicker, sometimes super fast and get lousy contact, but hey! that's baseball.

I currently play on 58 and will bump it up to 62 before the season is done. I'm a little opposite of some of you where hitting is easier for me than pitching.

this happened to me too, and if it happens for you in the future, just make it your primary ps4 which is an option in the menu and you will be able to play it during psn down time. I figured that out because of a poster here on OS, but right near the end of the downage! I realize depending on your situation you may not be able to do that, but if you can, no reason not to select that option.

I'm at ego 60 right now and am having trouble with the CPU just not hitting well against me. Everything else really seems good to go with regard to difficulty.

I feel like if I bump up ego to 70, even if the CPU started hitting right, suddenly I wouldn't be. We'll see though, in time.

Just started my season and I'm not sure if i should upgrade my players, does the CPU upgrade their players?

They do but from what I've seen, it doesn't show you what they used.

The icons are just question marks.

I love this game more and more every time I play it. I really hope we see a Super Mega Baseball 2. And for my own enjoyment, I'd love to see a Super Mega Hockey. But for now I am completely satisfied with SMB and I'm loving every bit of it.

# 155 Garrett67 @ 01/03/15 01:44 PM

I tried 3 innings on 99 Ego for the **** and I will just say , I didn't get a hit.

Brutal.

I love this game. I wish it had MP though, it needs it. My connection isn't fast enough for Share Play.

I played a full 5 inning game and managed a seeing eye single. Not even sure how. I think I struck out 13 times.

But still, I only lost 3-0 I believe. Wish the cpu did more damage offensively at the toughest difficulty.

I'm sure it depends on what kind of team you're facing too. I always play as the Beewolves(balanced) and I can't remember who I was playing in that 3 inning game but it was something like 13-0.

just finished a 32 game season with the overdogs. ended the season 23-9 and 1 game from winning the division from my hated enemy the crocodons (24-8). my division was a 2 team race most of the time but the other division was very competitive with 5 teams having records within 2 games of winning the division. played the crocodons in an epic 5 game series with me winning the series and swept the hippos? in 3 with game 3 being tied at 5 in the 9th and i unloaded 7 runs in the top of the 9th.
