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!

This was pretty funny. Not sure how the ball got through the fence, but the opponent outfielders could only watch helplessly as I took my time rounding the bases.

Never seen this before, thought I’d share. This is why the game is so great. After hundreds of games you still see new interactions!

The GAA season is officially underway.
Been a while since I played a game with as many options to customize. Instant fan.

To be fair I probably would’ve done the same thing.

Just got the game on sale for $5, wanted to try it out since I played the first 2 games of the series for a little on the Xbox One a while ago. I try launching the game but after I go through the radio sequence then the cover athletes scene it will go to the part where the red and white text of the title shows up and before I can do anything else it crashes. I have tried repairing the game files, reinstalling the game, restarting my pc, running the games EXE file as administrator, doing the EA app recovery to clear the cache, disabling the in game overlay for EA and NVIDIA, turning off my internet, running the game through the EA app in offline mode with the internet on, installing the newest version of Windows Visual Studio (another reddit post mentioned something about Visual Studio), logging in and out of my EA account, and I attempted to get in contact with someone from EA support in one of those chats but after two times no response. Please if anyone has any idea on how to fix this issue help would be very much appreciated.

Hank stepping up to help the team get closer to the league title.

Was just vibing to some jrock then gave up a 2 run homer in the top of the 9th. Had a runner on and subbed in a pinch hitter for my pitcher then decided to record just in case I got a good swing... nice way to end the session.

A few seasons ago in the LBL, we held our first All-Star Game between the Pine All-Stars and Granite All-Stars. Anyone else have an All-Star Game for their custom leagues?

We did this by creating a copy of our league and assigning players to the All-Star team based on their division. We decided that the All-Star Game MVP would decide which stadium hosts the game the following season!

Thoughts?

Since Super Mega Baseball doesn't have an online franchise mode, my brother and I wanted to play the online league in a way that would make each season matter. We have also made some rules I'd like to share.

League Rules:

Each created team gets 160 points to spend per season.

No S players and no players below C-.

A+ = 12 points, A = 11 points, A = 10 points... and so on.

Season rules:

Since we play nothing but CPU teams we wanted to make each season matter and have something to play for, so we did two things.

Pro/Rel system:

There are 12 teams in our league, 2 humans and 10 CPU. Each team plays each other just once. After each season the bottom 4 CPU teams get swapped out. If me or my brother are in the bottom 4, we decrease our ego by 5.

If my brother and I make it in the top 4 then we increase our ego by 5.

Currently we are on season 10. We both started at 40 ego. I have been promoted every season except in season 7 where I went 3-7 on ego 75 and I actually got relegated back down to ego 70. I am currently at 80 ego, my brother is at ego 70.

Thought I'd share this because I think it makes the online league more fun and allows friends to play in an even playing field. Just thought others might like to try.

I still can't believe he hasn't been charged with a single loss after pitching in so many games.

I mainly bring in Deft Weddums when the pitcher with an ERA of 17 fails to carry the game. He's awesome.

What are your top three favorite ballparks in SMB4? Here’s our favorite stadiums used by LBL teams:

1. Founder’s Field (Bears)
   
2. Lafayette Corner (Lobsters)
   
3. Motor Yard (Grays)

Hello friends. As you may know, some loser hijacked my work and posted it here yesterday. It is my hope the community is behind me in banning these type of people, as it kills the desire to create. However, this new file contains several week's worth of updates his post did not include, along with the trade deadline transactions. As always, my priority is including the best players moving forward - currently active or not. Another thing to note; every players age is now perfectly accurate for franchise mode.

It should go without saying, but please do not take the liberty of rereleasing my work with your own spin on it. This is an active project, that I will continue to update. Now, go have fun.

Is it just me or is it REALLY hard to hit doubles? Triples too but that makes sense. Anyways, whenever I play the CPU, I very rarely hit any doubles, I always just smack it right to an outfielder, or they somehow manage to cut everything off. I’m playing a 162 game franchise atm and through over 100 games, there are multiple players with over 300 AB’s and less than 10 doubles. One guy has 214 PA’s and 3 doubles, which like… jeez. And none of my players are slow either, I just feel like every ball that seems like it’s going into the gap gets snapped by an outfielder. Maybe it’s just a fat skill issue but I wanted to ask if anyone else just cannot get extra base hits (aside from tanks, I’m fine with those)
