Super Mega Baseball 4 Impressions Thread (All Platforms)

Honestly, I ended up deleting The Show to free up hard drive space. I was really enjoying The Show, and I assume I’ll get back into it come September, but the gameplay, both offline and online, is so much better that I just don’t boot The Show up anymore.

SMB4 is an A+ in my book. I spend more time pondering my lineups and making defensive changes than I ever do in The Show.

The legend additions are like a love letter to everyone that collected baseball cards back in the heyday. It’s like a nostalgia explosion.

Loving franchise. Currently in season #4. 20-game seasons; five innings per game. Loving this method, playing every game, because 1.) it feels like every game counts and 2.) fast-paced, baby; fast freakin' pace!

Something I thought was pretty cool. If this was in the old SMB franchise modes, sorry, but as a new player I thought it was a cool touch, even if it was randomly generated (I seem to doubt it?):

I had a third baseman that I drafted from the very beginning of my franchise, Brayden Salmon, who was a fairly good player. He had his ups and downs but contributed greatly to a pair of titles, or at least in some crucial wins during those two title runs where I went 13-7 in both years.

So, after season #3, he only wanted a slight increase in salary, but I offered his current salary to him, and the reaction was something like, "Brayden Salmon tearfully rejected your offer" and walked.

I dunno. I just thought that was cool, the little 'emotional impact' considering he played for my squad for three seasons and was a part of two title teams.

I only have five players remaining from my original season #1 team. I'm attached to a couple of them lol. Especially my first basewoman-turned-DH, because now in season #4, while she doesn't have the highest rating, she's turned out to be my best offensive weapon and a near fool-proof bet for at least a base knock every time she steps up to the plate.

When you play a Season or Franchise is there an All Star game in the middle of the season?

No All Star game, end of season awards, Hall of Fame, etc.

about to get SMB4
but I have a similar set up with smb3. 20 games/3 innings, I set up 2 conferences with 4 divisions in each. I wanted an NFL type of feel for the season. division winners get in the playoffs.

Over the weekend, I uploaded a video recapping (most of) my first franchise season. I also play the entirety of game 31. Loving me some SMB4!
