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

[CMH]

I think all they need to do is improve the pitcher fatigue. Starters are pulled too early and two relievers with less fatigue are forced to throw 4 innings.

It leads to situatuons where you score 9 runs in the ninth because the opposing pitcher is tossing meatballs out there but the cpu refuses to use their closer (obvious coding is obvious) or a starter (obviously).

With only two middle relievers, guys should be able to go deeper.

Consider that every pitcher can throw every pitch. So really what should separate starter from reliever to closer is quality of those pitches.

I'm not sure how else this is resolved without a bump in endurance across the board.

I may not have played enough to see any walk issues.

I've played 7 full 5 inning exhibition games and 3 full 9 inning season games and haven't seen anything questionable.

I haven't either, but I wasn't really looking for any issues. I'll keep an eye out for it. Jyoung seems to be really good in pretty much every game, so his results might not be the norm lol.

This is by far the most fun I have had with any baseball game.

This game certainly looks impressive. They seriously made a mistake not making this for X1, 360, and Vita though.

I'm willing to bite the bullet with this, but does anybody feel this won't have a sale/be a free game any time soon? I mean obviously it just released so probably not, but you know.

I wish this released last December, would have made for such an easier purchase haha. What's especially funny is I'm making this post now, and I just know that in five minutes I'll be buying this anyway. Simply can't pass this up. If anything, this is a good test for something like Remote Play in a baseball game, even though the pitch speeds and such are different. Maybe this will actually be playable Remote Play baseball compared to The Show.

Aw hell, count me in!

EDIT: Yep, proud new daddy.

I've been trying....I just can't get into this game.
I don't know what it is.
I'll keep trying though as the idea of it is great to me.

I agree, I think a real baseball-head who plays millions of games of the show and is really patient may find something, but I have like 5 walks in over 20 9 inning games.

I think the hardest part is settling on a difficulty. Mine is now 54 ego, but I may move it up again - I have lost twice on that setting, but my last 2 games I dominated. What I'm afraid of is that pitching any strikeouts will become non-existent ... I will lose more games if my hitting is nerfed a bit but I don't necessarily want the pitching to get harder...

My team is awesome and I put so much effort into the faces for all the celebrities on my team - if I do another team though I'll go with a speed-centric team. I only need a 1 or 2 power hitters as now I'm I have 11 homers with Dolf Lungren AND Arnold Schwartzenegger and 12 with Bruce Willis! Not far behind is Linda Carter and Mike Tyson ... some of that is starting off with a lower ego, but with 1/2 my team over 50 power hitting jacks might be a tad too easy at least going through the lineup including weaker players.

To me this is way better than the show. I'm not hardcore, I LOVE getting more than one game in during a sitting - the games are 20min mostly, sometimes 25, if I could I would make season mode 7 innings and be like a pig in sheet.
