With the amount of editing they are allowing now, I'm sure someone will figure it out for those that badly want an MLB game.

I am really curious to see how much editing we can really do. If they open up the rosters, league, scheduling, I think it could be absolutely amazing. I don't know real MLB that well enough anymore to care who I am pitching to, etc., but a 162 game season with somewhat realistic stats would be cool if I'm socking 45 dingers with some guy named Huge Long or Jose Bautista.

Editing is expected to be quite robust. Depending on how many people buy this game (and since the team had funding to make a part 2, I'm assuming the first did really well for a small indie), I fully expect we will get some form of MLB from someone, somewhere - assuming we can share those files.

	Customizing players was a key element of the season mode, and in Super Mega Baseball 2, Metalhead is giving people a lot more options in that respect. Players will be able to edit names, logos and uniforms for every ballclub, with the logo editor offering prefabricated text and images as well as more abstract options for creative people. The season mode will also allow players to customize the number of teams in the league, along with the length of the season and the number of playoff teams. Plus, the option to edit individual players will return.

That would absolutely work for me.

if the customization includes adding any logos, names and such, the license wouldn't really be needed. something along the lines of ncaa football 14 would be great.

just curious what the sales numbers are on rbi baseball and if they are making any money off that game at all. as bad as it is, it still continues to come out. i tried it and it was really bad and the reviews reflect that as well.

# 26 CMH @ 02/13/17 12:13 AM

I happen to like RBI. Thought the last version was fun. I'm sure it's not a big seller. But it also doesn't have a huge budget.

Can anyone comment on both the gameplay and season mode?
Can you compete in a traditional 'league' of some kind?
Do you lose players to free agency, or can you keep them forever? Do they improve over time as well?

This game looks pretty fun and I'm tempted to give it a shot. I still love my 2K13, but it would be nice to have a ballgame on my next-gen console.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I found my answers.
Sounds like the game could be very deep this year. Definitely interested.

I doubt there is free agency. But would be cool if we can move players to other teams if we wanted.

Agreed!

If they can just add continuous seasons, I'd be a happy man.

Are players rated in multiple positions? Are there injuries?

I think I read there are continuous seasons and career stats will be tracked.

There were multiple position ratings in the first one.

No injuries. Not enough players. Rosters weren't 25 deep. I think it's more like 18.

There were 8 position players. About 3 bench hitters. 3 starting pitchers and 3 relievers. Something like that.

I can't remember if day to day fatigue was a thing other than for pitchers.

If that is the case, this could really be epic.

Were there injuries in Part 1?
Maybe in 2?

there were no injuries in the first 1.
Don't think there will be in the second one either.
Not sure though. Not much info on the second one yet from what ive search about it. As this is probably my most anticipated game this year.
