Super Mega Baseball 2
Super Mega Baseball 2 Included in Xbox One's Games with Gold For May
Published on
Super Mega Baseball 2 is scheduled to release on May 1 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC for $29.99. Xbox Live Gold members can download a copy, for the entire month of May, as part of Games with Gold.
Some of the features you’ll see in the game include:
- Overhauled presentation including 8 stadiums built from the ground up, more realistically scaled character models, and new, more athletic player animations
- Comprehensive customization of leagues, team logos and uniforms, and player gear
- New competitive and co-operative online modes, utilizing dedicated servers
- Cross-platform play between PC and Xbox One, and between PC and PS4
- Refined baseball simulation with visceral physics and realistic play outcomes
- Enhanced image quality on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro
The team will also release three DLC packs with additional cosmetic customization content on launch day, as an optional way for fans to show added support (ranging from $3.49 – $4.49 USD).
That said, with there being 8 stadiums I want to create 8 different and customized teams with players/teams from past arcade/sim-like games such as Bases Loaded (players like Norkus and Paste come to mind) and Baseball Stars (American Dreams, Ninja Black Sox, etc) with some 1980s RBI Baseball thrown in for good measure. Basically just a mish-mash of a bunch of older games but customized down to a tee. The customization options should allow me to do this and place them all in the same league with their own home stadiums and play through it, right?

That should be possible. Here is the full list of customization options in the game according to a post from the devs a while back.

Thanks, those options look like everything and more that I need. Really can't wait for this.

This likely means that regardless of how well SMB2 does, MetalHead is going to get paid pretty well by MS for this. So it's good to see an indie sports dev being successful.

Sony offered last years Super Mega Baseball for free at launch for PSN Plus users.
SMB launched in 2014. They might have offered it for free on plus back then (although I think I remember paying full price for it on PS3), or at some point after launch - don't remember. I just know I had the game on day one.
Definitely wouldn't surprise me if they had offered it on Plus at some point, though.
Fingers crossed

They just double confirmed it on their SMB Twitter.
I was more than happy to pay $30 for this game, but now it's essentially free? Come on.
What did I do to get rewarded with such a great Monday? :D
"They contain customization content like additional logo components, pre-made team designs, player tattoos and new styles of eyewear"
With the game being free, I can now feel better about buying the DLC!

Once you download it,it's yours for good then. Very surprised this ones free like this because it would get sales from people at $20 or even $30,especially since this is the best baseball option for xbox1.
No doubt. They wouldn't have a brand new game on the free game program without being compensated by MS for it.
My only decision is X1 or PS4.
