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

12:23 PM - 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?

my team, grabbed photos long ago I think that's everyone and obviously the middle row is doubled because that's the only way to see everyone that I'm aware of. Just starting the playoffs in my next game, doing 58 ego, next season/team will up it more. I actually think the progression of abilities might be too slow - unless I"m missing something. I think to have people with a rating in the 90s it would take 3 seasons ... but since the stats don't go season to season (and I'm not sure if the cpu teams progress) it means that your team would be the only one with superior players/abilities. And in that case, I don't see the point. Anyway, such a great, refreshing surprise this game has been.

I can barely put bat on ball on 80 ego. I have all of the trophies except the one about winning a championship on >80 ego, decided to give that a shot, and... yeah, not happening.

Really enjoying this game
Just started a season with the Underdogs. So far a great variety of games

I started a season with an ego of 18 and easily won my first two games. However I can't seem to change the ego now like I can change in exhibition games. Am I stuck on the season at 18 only?

Back out to the main menu, and when you're about to load up your season save file, there's an option to adjust the ego setting. I think it's assigned to the triangle button?

That was it! Much appreciated! This is just a really good fun game with some amazing depth to it.

Sorry if I missed this or it was posted before but does anyone know if the developer is going to make any more updates to the game? I would love to get a few more stadiums to play in.

Thanks

The developers are working on a patch, but they have not officially announced what all it will include.

Keep in mind that they only have three full-time employees, and there's usually a two-to-three-week turnaround on getting title updates pushed through with Sony.

got this yesterday.
for 20 bucks its a steal.

I enjoy this game.

I thought about grabbing this yesterday, but after the initial reaction when released, it seems like chatter has cooled down. Are people not enjoying this game as much as when it released?

This game is just fine, minus the separating difficulty options. I'm on 65 ego and won my most recent game 1-0. I need the CPU to produce more runs on offense, provided that I can still do the same.

My team isn't hitting many home runs though, but that's expected since I think I picked the defense-superior team.

Besides, I needed this as my baseball fix until The Show at the very least. For $19.99, it's serving its purpose very, very well.

It's not baseball season. It will heat up again.

This. It's not a game I ever expected to play year-round, and I've gotten way more than $20 worth out of it even if I never played it again (which I can guarantee will not be the case). It's totally worth that price.

Doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable when I set it aside for a while to catch up on some other games - it was never going to be the only game I'd play.

I finished a short season a few weeks ago and have been waiting for a patch to fix the AI's pitching problems before starting a medium length season.

The game just doesn't play very well right now if you're a patient hitter. CPU teams will throw too many walks and won't manage their bullpen very well.

The developers are working on a patch, but it may not be out for a while, due to the small size of their staff.

any word if this is coming to XB1?

# 177 FunkDockta27 @ 04/17/15 01:51 AM

My ol lady loves this game.
Not that we wont throw in the show. But usually she bats for my team while i pitch.
This one she'll play against me.

And i have been shamed. 0-2 thus far. A 6-5 L i blew on a walk off HR.
Tonight it was just a whipping. Down 4-0 in the 5th i put up 6 just to give up 8 in the bottom half of the inning. I lost 14-8.

But I will say she has put more games in than i have. Lol thats my excuse and im sticking to it. Truth, but still an excuse lol. Happy though we can play this one out together or against each other.

It takes a real man to admit when his woman beats him in a sports game. Ha.
