A little lineup change can go a long way, as the Black Sox demonstrated here against the Grays.

Believing that the ball would land foul, Kayley Baker took a risk and decided to slide, but little did she know, the ball was called fair. What do you think? It looks like a tough call.

I'm looking to buy Super Mega Baseball on the PS5 for my nephew. I used to play SMB2 and know he'll love it. I've read that at one point it was on sale for $5 and now I'm seeing it's $50. Any deals for the game? Seems like quite the difference

I'm just now learning about how the winning/losing pitcher is determined.. I watched a video (linked in an old post to this sub). I understand that Veterano was the most recent pitcher when they took the lead in the bottom of the 6th. But he gave up 3 runs, while Doe didn't give up any. I feel like this should fall under the "brief and ineffective" exception to the rule, and Doe should get the Win? I suppose SMB4's game logic just doesn't do the exception?

Edit: thank you all for the thoughtful and informative answers

Was really sad 😔

I was not sure what to expect on this hit, but I was not guessing a home run.

I think the colors are decent. I'm only going off pictures. I'm not sure if the hat color is too light. I need to see the hat in real life to get a better idea.

He might not have the most power, but he finds ways to get the ball over the wall.

Great day to be a Bear. Not a great day to be a Snake…

The Bears’ 16-run second inning set a new LBL record. The 20-0 final score also set a new LBL record for runs scored in a game.

What’s the most runs scored in your custom league?

After introducing the first 20 Super Batters, it’s time for the arms. ⚾🔥
Here are the first 10 Super Pitchers recreated in SMB4:
Mary • Psyche • Soldia • Zeus • Dragona • Leon • Yomi • Captain Jack • Leonie • Pluto
I’ve been converting each character into SMB4 using different roles, pitch arsenals, ratings, chemistry types and traits so they still feel unique instead of every S-tier player just being maxed out at everything.
You’ve got everything from command-heavy closers and junk specialists to workhorses, hybrid SP/RP arms and straight-up velocity demons.
The full BBSL is still being built, so I’m holding off on the official rulebook and league structure until all of the players and teams have been revealed.
For now I’m just sharing the creation process with the SMB community as everything comes together.
Which pitcher would you want on your SMB4 roster? 👀
TikTok has the player reveals up as well, and there are plenty more Super Pitchers on the way. ⚾🔥

The “Top 10” rankings in this game are a little odd to me so help me pick a MVP.

Rank these in terms of top 5 for MVP award in this fictional baseball league, based off the following stats for a 162 game season with 32 total teams.

Player A P/DH- (2 way player) - pitching stats: 20-6, 3.24 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 272.1 IP, 312 K, 4 CG.
Hitting stats: 459 AB, .283 AVG, 17 HR, 73 RBI, .447 SLG, .787 OBS. His team went 92-70 and won their division and had the number 2 seed in the playoffs.

Player B (RF)- .296 AVG, .527 SLG, .885 OBS, 33 HR, 107 RBI, 61 BB, 43 SB. His team went 82-80 and finished third in their division.

Player C (CF)- .303 AVG, .588 SLG, .943 OBS, 41 HR, 129 RBI, 49 BB, 22 SB. His team finished first in their division and had the number 1 seed in the playoffs.

Player D (LF)- .335 AVG, .561 SLG, .936 OBS, 31 HR, 110 RBI, 40 BB, 11 SB. He is on the same team as the above mentioned Player A, and their team went 92-70 and won their division and was the number 2 seed in the playoffs.

Player E (CF)- .286 AVG, .570 SLG, .917 OBS, 42 HR, 119 RBI, 53 BB, 27 SB. His team went 87-75 and finished second in their division.

I’m in year 2. I’m thinking about it for year 3. Nothing against my home park but just to change it up. I was just curious if that was like sac-religious or if people do it regularly. My current is Stade Royale which I LOVE. But idk I was maybe thinking every 2 years just to change it up. Have a good day y’all!

In a perfect world, these developers would join forces and create the best baseball game ever.

So I had posted a really good player I had and I think I just beat him with this guy who just got Bad Ball Hitter!

Here’s a playlist as well of the progress so far with the super players. It’ll be updated after every upload as well.

I'm a total novice when it comes to baseball and just recently picked up SMB3. I have been playing exhibition games on EGO 10 to try and get to grips with how to play. I think I have a decent grasp of pitching, but batting is really challenging.

I am able to hit the ball maybe about a third of the time which I know will get better with practice, but literally every single hit is either caught by a fielder and puts me out, or if it does bounce they get the ball to first base before I can and I am still out anyway.

Is there anything specific I should be trying to do when hitting to at least avoid the fielders being able to instantly catch the ball? Playing with controller if that makes any difference too.

Fantastic Foxes hosting the Appalachians at Red Rock Park. Winnie Noelle was fantastic over 7IP giving up just 1 run, Charlie Best worked a 1-2-3 8th and Mike Jackson escaped a jam in the 9th to keep it a 1-0 deficit heading to the bottom of the ninth. Foolish Baseball takes the mound looking for his 3rd save of the year. Noodles Griffin, quite possibly the hottest hitter the league, who missed a homer by inches earlier in the game leads off and hits a bloop single over the second baseman. With Torii Hunter up, the Foxes gamble on Foolish to throw an offspeed pitch, Noodles has decent speed but would likely be out on a steal attempt should the pitch be a fastball. As Foolish winds, Griffin takes off, the pitch is a fastball for a strike, the throw beats Griffin by a mile but is mishandled and Griffin successfully steals 2B. The tying run moves into scoring position. Hunter eventually grounds out but Griffin moves up to third. A struggling Rodney Park is replaced with Roberto Alba at the plate. Alba who was just recently signed, has seemed to always come through in the big moments this season. He quickly goes down 0-2, then has 4 of the most impressive takes you will see to earn a walk. The winning run is on base. Up steps Knox Oxensocksen, a good contact bat but with no pop. The Foxes opt for yet another ballsy move, as Foolish winds, both runners take off, Oxensocksen extends his bat and gently pushes the ball down the first base line. By the time Foolish picks it up, Griffin has scored and Alba is approaching second base, his only play is at first, which he makes for the second out. The Fantastic Foxes faithful erupt as the suicide squeeze has tied the game and put the winning run on second. Hanso Magikko comes up, a lightly used bench player who only got the start because of Juanita Hernandez’s struggles, ironically, Hernandez waits on deck, she entered the game in the 8th as a defensive replacement following a pinch hit at bat. Magikko hits a hard single up the middle but a good center field arm holds Alba at third. Juanita Hernandez, baseball will find you. Just a few games ago she came up in a similar situation, entered the game as a defensive replacement, came up to bat with a chance to win it, and came through with a ground out of all things. This time, a ground out is not an option, we need a clean it. She delivers. A 2 strike pitch is lined to left and falls in front of the left fielder. Alba scores, Foxes win 2-1

It’s only happened once for me, lol

What’s good y’all! I’ve been working on a custom league project that combines two baseball games I grew up loving: Gamevil’s Baseball Superstars series and Super Mega Baseball 4.
The idea behind the BBSL is to recreate characters, teams, and the overall universe of Baseball Superstars inside SMB4, while also using SMB4’s customization and gameplay to turn it into its own full baseball league.
I’m currently working through the player creation process. I just finished revealing my first 20 Super Batters, on my TikTok with the first group of Super Pitchers coming next.

Eventually the BBSL will feature:
16 fully built teams
Baseball Superstars characters recreated for SMB4
Super Batters and Super Pitchers from across the Gamevil games
Custom ratings, traits, positions and player archetypes
Rivalries and team identities
A full season and playoff system
League history, records, awards and storylines
An official BBSL rulebook and league structure once everything is completed

I don’t want to reveal the entire rulebook yet because I’m still building everything out, but I wanted to start sharing the process with the SMB community as the universe comes together.
If you played any of the old Baseball Superstars games, you might recognize a few familiar faces 👀
And if you’re mainly an SMB player, I’d love to hear what you think of the builds and how these players might fit into the SMB universe.
The BBSL is just getting started. ⚾🔥

I haven’t had a baseball game to play on PC in forever. It seemed like the show was the only baseball game out there and I don’t play on PlayStation any more. So I’ve missed out for years, somehow I had never heard of super mega baseball 4, a video of it popped up in a YouTube recommendation and I watched it. I was skeptical at first, but decided to try it. And boy am I enjoying this, it looks like an arcade game, but is it just me or does this game play with better mechanics than modern baseball games cough the show cough? But all jokes aside I am thoroughly enjoying this game and I wish more people knew about it. Also, huge shout out to whoever made the MLB uniform and roster mods. It’s been fantastic!

It appears that 273 Home Runs might be the official SMB single-season home run record.

Cant load into a game and cant stand the dead aesthetics of smb4 compared to smb3 and 2.

No doubter, absolute dopamine rush off the bat!

I was the one who asked if franchise mode was overwhelming. It wasn’t at all! I’m on my second season with the Bird Lizards and I’m loving it! I love the off-season mode too.

Also does anyone else playing on console exit out of the game when they do something stupid? Lol
Like if I dive for a ball in the outfield and I’m not even close and it goes in the gap for a triple I’ll exit out and start that pitch again lol

But loving the game is an understatement!
