About
Tight controls and a smooth learning curve will have you knocking it out of the park in no time in this awesome arcade baseball simulator. Polygon’s 2014 Sports Game of the Year.Features:
- Realistic Simulation and Physics: Don’t be fooled by the light-hearted/comical presentation; the fundamentals of baseball are well represented and if someone isn’t familiar with the rules, they will be after playing Super Mega Baseball.
- Groundbreaking Difficulty System: Super Mega Baseball boasts an innovative difficulty control scheme called the Ego system. The Ego system offers a fine-grained control of difficulty on a per-user basis, which has been widely praised for leveling the playing field in cooperative and competitive modes. This system will push seasoned gamers to their limits while simultaneously providing a gentle introduction for beginners.
- Up-to Four Player Local Co-op Play: In addition to solo play, players can try their hand at head-to-head, 2v1, 2v2 and co-op against the CPU. In co-op mode, teammates alternate batting/running each time at-bat, and alternate pitching/fielding each inning, meaning ballplayers need to be on their toes every play. To even games, players can use the Ego system to set up a competitive game between friends of any skill level.
- Ultra Responsive and Blazing Fast Gameplay: Controls are easy to learn, but players will need to master jumping, diving, wall-catches, power-swings and cut-off plays to properly dominate friends. Short load times and a streamlined interface means most of the time is spent in the action, with nine-inning games taking around 20 minutes to play.
- Full Batting and Pitching Statistics: Most baseball statistics imaginable are available and ballplayers can use these to show off their MVP-quality skills.
- Leveling System: Players tally up Starpoints for hits, strikeouts and catches during each game and Level Up once they collect enough points. Players can hire staff to train and coach their squad, improving skill attributes such as Power and Speed. Use that jacked up team to win at higher difficulties (and post higher leaderboard scores than friends)!
- Player Customization: Customize the look and names of a team’s players to create a ragtag crew of family and friends. Make as many aesthetic adjustments as you can imagine!

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings reviews and comments

Very good baseball game. We have sensations quite close to a MLB the show, less pushed obviously, but it remains of the "real" base ball. There is no special shot that would make the game a bit WTF and that's fine. The cartoon graphics make well I find, the sound effects, especially that of the referee to the marble are pretty funny. There are some funny animations but that turn quickly in circles. Overall it lacks a hair of madness it's a pity they hold something cool.
The gameplay in attack is quite classic but very effective, we aim with the joystick and we press the button in the right rhythm by pressing the button adapted to the type of typing that we want to do. For the running base we press either "LB" or "RB" to advance all players or the one you want by selecting it with the joystick. You can also send a player directly to a base by pressing the corresponding front button ("Y" for the 2nd, "X" for the 3rd and "A" for the marble). There is also the possibility to steal the basics.
For the defense, one chooses its type of throw in a list with the right joystick (there are 9 in all they are common to all players, on the other hand each pitcher will be more or less effective according to his stats). Then press "A" to start a "safe" throw while aiming at the desired area with the left joystick. Launching with "X" will have a throw that will be harder to put in the zone but that will be more effective if successful (t?). On the other hand no possibility of pick off or intentionally launching outside to counter a basic flight or even goal on intentional ball, damage. For the feilders it is very classic we move them with the left stick and you can send the ball to the cut off or to the desired base by pressing the same buttons as for the baserunning.
It lacks a bit of content, there is no multi online, local Yes on the other hand, and the solo content comes down to simple matches or seasons. There are not a lot of teams either, you can be happy by personating the appearance of the players.
I find the player progression system quite nice, we hire staff who will have 3 bonuses to disribuer to the players you wish, provided that the player has an adequate location.
The difficulty system is well done which allows a learning curve adapted to all types of players, this also allows a priori good replayability.
I recommend this game to anyone who wants to discover a game of baseball quite simple to take in hand but not simplistic. On the other hand if you do not know at all baseball it's going to be complicated for you, they assume that you know the rules;)
