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

[Earl1963]

Played a couple games and I like it a lot. Love how you can pre-load on the power swing by holding the square button. The batting in the game is the best ever, IMO.

The crowd looks and sound really good, they get pretty loud in 5.1 digital surround. Just wish there were commentary to to fill in some of the dead areas.

Running the bases in this game is the best formula, been used before in other games. Wish The Show was like that, I wouldn't have sold it. A lot less thinking and feels more natural.

So far it's an 8/10

Yikes, that's no good.

Is there any way to turn off the auto lock of the batting curser?

Absolutely a blast to play. It's like a cross between the original RBI baseball, baseball stars, baseball simulator 1.000, and ken griffey jr on SNES (I'm showing my age here lol).


I intended on playing one game before I went to bed and ended up playing three. The controls are perfect and the game moves at the perfect pace. The only wish I have is for online head-to-head play. That would be incredible! But there is plenty of content and I'll definitely be playing until the Show drops and beyond.

Bought the game last night, played it, Loved It! It is an absolute blast to play! I made up a team of my friends and relatives (using their cartoon likenesses) and started season mode. It was a riot! Looking forward to playing this game a lot. Between this game, MLB 14 The Show, NBA 2K15, and The Golf Club...there's a lot of great sports gaming right now on PS4!
