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

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

I'm a little over 20 games into my season with the Overdogs and have not have had issue with this. I don't swing at a lot of balls but average a couple of walks per game. I noticed you posting on this issue a day or two ago and had concern so I made sure to keep an eye out for it. Played probably 10 games of my season last night and no similar issues at all. In fact, in my last game the CPU subbed for their starter in the 5th inning while his stamina and mojo were still good. Then in the sixth inning they subbed again, for no apparent reason. Couldn't figure out why this happened especially in light of what you have seen as well at the starting pitcher was cruising against me when he was pulled.

All in all I am seeing fairly appropriate subbing of the CPU pitchers.

I'm playing at a 50 ego but as you have reported the ego most likely doesn't make a difference in this area. Not doubting you at all, what you are seeing could certainly ruin the game, just glad it's not happening to me at this point.

I will continue to watch for this issue and will report back if it pops up in my season. Hopefully it's something that can be patched if it's a widespread issue.

I need to mention that the check swings in this game are SWEET!

I'm playing at 55 Ego, and I haven't seen it as well. Of course I chase a lot of bad pitches too!

Yeah, I see you and Jyoung on my friends' leader board. Don't think I'll ever be able to break Jyoung's record of 691,000 star points in one game! I threw a perfect game and only received 390,000 or so. Ego makes a difference too, I'm at 50 and Jyoung plays at a higher ego than that thus would get more points for good play. 50 is playing pretty well for me after 25 games or so into my season. I'm like 15-7, going to play out a medium season to see how I fare then move ego up for my next season.

I finally had a decent offensive game. I was a little pissed off when my closer gave up 4 runs in the 5th to let the other team catch back up, but we finished it in the 6th. That was a very fun game.

I played a bit against Hustlin Owl through Shareplay last night as well. That was my first time using the feature since it's been added and I thought it was pretty cool. It's nice to be able to let someone check out a game if they don't have it already.

The devs on Twitter said the first patch will cover bugs and balancing issues, so they seem to be aware of the pitching issues since that was a direct reply to someone commenting on the same being said here. Also they replied to me on a tweet asking about customization for all teams in the future and they are also looking into that as well.

That was my tweet, they answered quickly! Also directed me to a patch 1 forum.

man just pitched a complete game shutout with the overdogs in my season matchup. MAN!! i felt good and nervous but glad my defense held up. my pitcher terrok smith was throwing a gem and boy my stamina was gone by the 9th but the last pitch i threw a meatball below the strike zone and they whiffed. my clean-up hitter rhonda rosey hit bombs 4-6 and a 455 ft hr. i had the chance to get an inside the park home run but i panicked lol. i cant stop

If this game is going to have a demo on PS4, I will definitely give it a look.

$20 for an arcade game without trying it out first is pretty steep, though.

Though it needs help in a few areas, (customization, ahem.) I think it's a great value at $20. Especially in a world where a "normal" game would be $60 new, I think $20 for a truly fresh and new game is fair. If you have a buddy with it, share play for a few hours and I'm sure you'll agree

Haven't got the game yet, has anyone seen controls listed anywhere?

Anyone playing on ps3? Does it look close to the ps4 version everyone is streaming?

I tested both versions out. The PS4 version looks a bit sharper since its in 1080p vs 720p, resulting in smoother textures. Both play exactly the same.

played a 15 inning marathon vs the crocodons who were unbeaten in my division! their ace was slinging some nasty heat and lasted for 10 innings! i had exhausted all my rps and had one bench player left. my bench lf came out and his stats were jacked as all hell because he was in the zone, knocked a xtra base hit and i took a gamble to send my runner home and it payed off and we won 3-2. im the only loss on their record so far

I hope Metalhead makes a football game.

I came to this thread to post the very same thing! A football game with this style, part arcade and part sim. Would be great!

Just completed a medium season with the Overdogs. Won the championship with an ego at 50. Admittedly, the games were getting easier as I went along. I did not see any way to continue to another season, didn't really matter as I was going to change teams anyway. Went with the worst team from my first season, the Moose and going with a long season. Upped my ego to 62 lost my 1st game 4-3 to the Buzzards.

After looking at this board and listening to the latest episode of the press row podcast, I am itching to buy this game, but my fear is that this will have me "baseballed out" by the time MLB The Show comes out.

I get that they are totally different, but I want to enjoy The Show as much as possible.

I really want to get this game but I'm waiting for them to patch the walks issue.
