Super Mega Baseball 2 game update 1.06 is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC/Steam, addressing some of the more pressing issues after the release of update 1.05.
Check out the patch notes below.
Improvements
-
Further tweaks to Pennant Race Ego assignments (slightly higher Egos to reduce offense / run totals).
-
Have the AI be somewhat more willing to bring in the closer in the early and middle parts of the game if necessary.
-
After making an out in the outfield with no runners on base, AI fielders now ensure that they throw the ball in to someone in or closer to the infield.
-
Allow the pitcher to be the selected fielder on more types of infield hits up the middle of the diamond.
Issues addressed

-
Fixed: Outfielders sometimes run towards the infield on deep fly balls / home runs.

-
Fixed: In online play, on ball 4, the batter returns to his batting stance after tossing his bat in some cases.
-
Fixed: In online play, the substitution button would remain visible after an auto-ball resulted in ball 4.
-
