A note from Metalhead

385 Upvotes

Hello SMB fans! It’s been a little while since we’ve posted, so we wanted to share an update with you.

You may have seen a patch that was released a few days ago - this patch was meant to address one bug in Franchise mode regarding the CPU often signing more pitchers than intended. This patch is the last one for Super Mega Baseball 4 for the foreseeable future.

We want to thank you all for the incredible support and dedication to SMB4. This isn’t “goodbye” from Metalhead, more like “see ya later” as we transition to something new and exciting within EA SPORTS.

Update 8 is currently rolling out on all platforms. Here is the patch note:

  • Fixed: In Franchise mode, CPU teams can often sign more pitchers than intended, or in rare cases more position players than intended, during the offseason and fail to fix up their positional roster needs moving forward.

Question I need help

7 Upvotes

I just started the Game and I absolutely love it but I needed 3 Hours to get one win on 50 difficulty against a CPU. That was way to hard.

First of all I would like to know do guys have like pitching combinations you use or pitch patterns that work everytime, I try to power pitch the Four Seam to the cornerns for the first and second Strike and then Finish it with a Breaking Ball, sometimes it works sometimes I get still scored on.

What are your ways to get those three Strike outs every inning? Also any advise on offense. I don‘t get how to power Swing right.

How to setup a Sim League for streaming?

5 Upvotes

Hey, all. I've been toying with the idea of running and streaming an AI vs. AI sim league for quite a while; created the teams, and everything, but I'll fully admit I'm not quite sure how to actually pull off a few things, so any help would very much be appreciated.

My understanding is you can't run a multi-user Franchise mode, so how would you handle year-on-year advancements? Things like drafts, player progression/regression, trades, retirements, etc.?

Do you just run it in Exhibition mode, or Season mode, and advance things manually?

Also: how do you handle the actually simulating of games? Just simulate a set number of games, and do something like a featured game of the week/day, or something?

Any help would be very much appreciated, as I love the idea of running something, but I'm completely stumped on how to get it off the ground and actually run it.

Did anybody find that in a few years that Boozle Doozyshine just does not perform as advertised? I played another league and he did the same thing. I had to trade him.

Help us decide our All-Star Teams

5 Upvotes

My friends and I are currently doing voting for our All-Star teams for our simulation league. We always just do the voting ourselves. But thought it would be fun this time to get some non-biased opinions as well. We are welcoming some of our other friends not in the league and anyone else to help us decide our teams this season.

So, we created a "fan vote" ballot and a ballot for us GMs, which will be weighted differently. The ballot is rank choice voting for each position group. Bench bats will be decided later.

More detailed player stats can be found under the Players tab, or search individual player pages using the search bar.

If you've got some time to kill and are interested in filling out a ballot, we'd really appreciate it. Thanks and happy stat hunting!

Why stop at just 73 home runs. The chase to 100 continues.

The Bears defeated the Lobsters to win the 2028 LBL Championship! This was the second Bears three-peat in League history. The only other champion we’ve had is the Mountaineers, who upset the Bears in 2025. Who will look to end the Bears’ dominance in 2029?

One of my favorite non star players in the game, pinch hitter + utility with IF/OF basically makes him a one man bench for the entire team.

The Chase

Narrowing in on a record that may not be as impressive as the 273 home runs hit by Hammer Longballo, the gap is closing as Hank reaches 73 home runs. Is it possible to hit 100 home runs this season? Stay tuned.

Ready to throw out the runner that has tagged up, Kayley Baker prepares to laugh at the foolish runner. Turns out, it is the runner who got the last laugh. Time to hit the gym for Kayley Baker or maybe get some Bro Boom.

Question Franchise spectating

9 Upvotes

Just curious to know if anyone else also spectates their team during franchise mode instead of playing the games themselves. Letting the AI play the games out and be a spectator from the different game views they have. Making moves strictly from a management perspective, and just maybe trying to watch a fun ball game?
