Super Mega Baseball 3

Phenomenal balance between 'sim' and 'arcade'. Have really enjoyed playing both single player and online co-op franchise modes. Sound and graphics are good, but nothing crazy. Honestly it's the best baseball game I've played in many years, and I'm impressed at how different it feels from SMB1. With that said, I do have some feedback for the developers. Would love to see some more sounds overall - like the ball thumping off the fence or a 'cling!' after hitting a post. Right now it's all kind of generic, and although it doesn't take away from the core gameplay experience, after 50+ hours it all kind of sounds the same. Likewise, I would enjoy seeing the slider move just a tiny bit more towards sim in terms of animations and physics. Again, just little tweaks to make the game feel more alive. Like if I hit the ball into the dugout it should bounce around or there should be players in there that react. Same with the crowd. Maybe it bounces out of the stands like it does in real games sometimes. I dunno, just spitballing. Oh yeah, and while I'm thinking about it, an instant replay feature. All those line drives back to the pitcher need to be reviewed in slow-mo to determine exactly where it hit them. Those sort of finishing touches would be great to see in SMB4!

It's a fun arcade-y baseball game. Really like the "Ego" settings, basically allowing you to set individual difficulties for different aspects of the game to dial in how hard you would like the game to be. Team and player customization is also fun. Not incredibly robust but better than most sports games. Also, runs great on Steamdeck. I'm not nearly as good at the game with the thumbsticks on the Steamdeck or maybe it's the smaller screen but that calls back to the difficulty settings. I just turned them down a bit and the game was more enjoyable. Quick, pick up and put down games are the best for the Steamdeck in my opinion so it really gave the game new life for me.

The gameplay is solid, although I hate having to try and aim with the controller when hitting. If you've played the game you will probably know what I am referring to. Pitching works very well, hitting, is a little to busy. Also, be warned that franchise mode is not at all a "franchise mode" in the traditional sense. You can sign players and release ones on your team. There are no contracts or years remaining, only a salary. At the end of the season random players just resign, nothing you can do about it...and forget about paying for that same player in the sign and release section. His requested salary has now tripled or quadrupled. There is no trading of players or picks. There is no draft. The only thing you can do is sign and release players... but the budgets seem very low considering you can hardly afford any of the top players. Pick a low game count for the season as well. You CANNOT simulate your games in standard franchise mode. So you will be playing 9 innings times 32 or however many games....and playoffs are best of 5. It takes forever to finish a season. Also, you don't have multiple save files...only one, as far as I can tell. I did like the way player development was tied to team salary. That is a neat idea, but it also takes away from you signing players and then the players you just developed can walk anytime they want. Twas a nice idea. The game is fun to play though. Aside from the aiming while batting (which I think doesn't work, maybe it is better with a mouse). The cursor moves automatically when the pitch is thrown. Then you are supposed to adjust the cursor, but also while you are powering your swing, watching the ball, making sure it is a strike. In baseball you watch the pitcher, not at the spot directly in front of my feet. I just kept finding the game over compensating my swing actually making me worse than not moving the cursor anything at all...but if you don't move the cursor you just ground out of pop out weakly (on harder difficulties, because the pitchers hit the corners but you can't unless you aim). Like I said, if it was just a push in a direction, that would be fine, but the aiming isn't good on controller. Zero settings in normal franchise mode. Almost no settings in any portion. Overall, I was disappointed because I was expecting more, but I wasn't disappointed either. The game is fun. It is probably the best pitching system in any baseball game I've played. It is quick. I am not usually a big fan of defense in baseball games, and this has some automation added which makes it a little less cumbersome. I just want to pitch and bat, no fielding. Unless I am exclusively controlling one fielder. So, ya, game modes are extremely weak. Game play is fun. Overall worth a good $15. Review is for solo players. feel free to correct if you think I got something wrong.

Super addicting

I am trying to like this game but the pitching ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. They don't swing at ♥♥♥♥ outside the strike zone. Which makes this game way less fun, I can get hits but I have the unfortunate luck of never getting on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ base and when I do they get a double play and I get ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I only score on home runs. I should have bought something else.

I like how fun the game is

今まで様々なゲーム機で野球ゲームをプレーしてきましたが、最もハマったゲームとなっています。見た目はコミカルよりですがプレー感は本格的で細かなプレーが楽しめます。投げている感、打っている感が実感としてコントローラーから伝わる感じがします。ほぼオンライン対戦オンリー。このモードだけで十分遊べます。相手が人間ですので姑息な戦法に（もちろんルールの範囲内です）イラッとしたり、一方的に打たれてリセットしたり、ミスに乗じて大量点を取ったりなど飽きが来ません。 自分レースシムメインのプレーヤーですがこのゲームのプレー時間が一番長くなっていました。 全部英語ですが、ある程度野球の知識があればさほど問題ないでしょう。 残念なのはおそらく日本人プレーヤーは少数だろうを思われること。 あとゲームバランスで気になるのは走塁でタッチ判定がやや走者有利に感じました。 チームはすべてオリジナルですが、個性があり思い入れを持って使うことができました。 オンライン対戦は5回制なのでスピーディーにプレーできるのも良いです。
