There are also several premade league types for those who simply want to jump in and leave personnel management to the CPU. The biggest one led to a kind of deck-building feature, Shuffle Draft, that players may use to quickly create their own leagues along several parameters - with (or without) legends, or Super Mega rosters - and start a Franchise playthrough. Roughly speaking, the new features follow something any sports developer, large or small, must answer to: fan requests. Players will also be able to see and use some of baseball’s modern developments, like two-way performers and the new extra-innings baserunner. You’re not seeing things - that’s Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, and Ernie Banks celebrating a walk-off in Super Mega Baseball 4. Getting a license to real, well-known ballplayers is a looks-like-we-made-it moment for fans who have been with the series since 2014 and can’t believe an unlicensed indie sports video game has come this far.Īnd it’s a reassurance that the game, its appeal, and its tone aren’t going to be corrupted or co-opted by a huge publisher accustomed to writing enormous checks for sports licensing. The roster tease - and Colón’s inclusion in it - is, for Super Mega Baseball fans since Metalhead’s indie days, part celebration and part reassurance. Closing out his career in Texas, the 44-year-old Colón damn near threw a perfect game. But after a 21-year career spent almost entirely in the American League, he joined the New York Mets, whose fans celebrated him as much for his, well, zaftig proportions as his zany batting appearances, which ranged from slapstick ridiculous to hall-of-fame sublime and few in between. (His co-star is the fictional Hammer Longballo of the Sirloins.)Ĭolón was a four-time All-Star, and the 2005 American League Cy Young Award winner. The marketing copy with Tuesday’s announcement mentions all-timers like Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth, as well as two of the 2004 Boston Red Sox’s gang of “Idiots,” Johnny Damon and David Ortiz, the latter of whom stars on the game’s cover, rendered in Super Mega style. Instead, they’re past pros who fit the Super Mega style, says Metalhead studio director Scott Drader. It’s not the entire current membership of the MLB Players Association, or any of the 30 teams in the National or American Leagues - just a free agent pool of 200 guys you can put on any of Super Mega Baseball 4’s quirky teams (or not your choice). Well, Super Mega Baseball 4, launching June 2, is finally getting real-life MLB stars, owing in no small part to Electronic Arts having acquired Metalhead two years ago. The studio has created dozens of these players for three critically acclaimed games over the past decade, from Ham Slamous to Beefcake McStevens, Joseph Broseph to Johnson Swanson. A fan-favorite baseball video game like Metalhead’s Super Mega Baseball should know a thing about fan-favorite players.
