Customize your squad, step up to the plate, and knock ‘em out of the park. The makers of Super Mega Baseball have returned with a brand new, streamlined baseball simulator that’ll keep you coming back for more. Build your dream team and challenge your opponents to a good old-fashioned game of hardball, online and off.

Online
Got game? Show it off in Super Mega Baseball 2’s online mode. Friends and strangers, online or on your couch, will marvel at your heavy hitting in co-op and versus play. Or keep the fun all to yourself in single player mode. However you like to play, the game’s critically acclaimed ‘Ego’ difficulty system will keep you neck-and-neck with any opponent.

New Look
Step onto the mound with brand new, more realistically scaled character models and soak in the sights and sounds of new and updated stadiums. Physically-based rendering and a fully rebuilt user interface round out a massive set of visual upgrades.

Baseball
Baseball fanatics will be in their element with visceral, convincing physics and a fine-tuned baseball simulation, while newcomers will succeed with accessible controls and a wide range of difficulty settings.

Customize
Your team, your league, your way. Full customization is at your fingertips with logo design, uniform choices, player appearance, league construction, sandbox seasons and more.

This is a nice surprise! Hoping for a lot more stadiums. This could be a blast online.

Wow. SMB1 is free this month and SMB2 is coming next year? awesome news. I loved SMB1 and literally the only two things I would change about it would be to add online play, and make the characters slightly less goofy-looking. Check and check.

good game, but I wish they would add announcers/commentators. thats the only reason why I probably didnt play SMB as much.

This game should be SICK!!!

LOVE SMB1 so this is GREAT news. I still play the original to this day. Much prefer it to MLB The Show. Reminds me of the glory days of RBI Baseball. Baseball videogames have lost their fun factor and SMB brought it back for me. Thank you Metalhead Software.

First one was awesome! I haven't given it enough of a chance since the patch allowed for customizable difficulties (hoping for even more as we go, though I hope out of the box is what I'm looking for as well!).

I expect I'll be giving them my money.
