If it’s a seriously wacky, but difficult to master, sports game you are looking for, then chances are that Super Mega Baseball 4 has been on your radar for a while. The game has only been out for a few months up to this point. However the second DLC is already here. Get ready to pitch up at the Ciudad de Colores stadium in Super Mega Baseball 4!
A Colourful Ballpark arrives in Super Mega Baseball 4 Ciudad de Colores
Available to Super Mega Baseball 4 fans right now is the second DLC stadium for the hit baseball game. It’s available on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC. It comes in the form of the brightly coloured Ciudad de Colores stadium. Following on from the inaugural DLC stadium, Peril Point, this Latin-inspired ballpark will see you hitting home runs for days.
The Ciudad de Colores ballpark has been available previously. Yep, this went free of charge to players with the Super Mega Baseball 4 Ballpark Edition. But now that same DLC can be purchased separately for £4.99.
From Pitch to Patch
With the introduction of this new stadium also comes Super Mega Baseball 4’s biggest patch to date. It features a number of QoL improvements that the community have been in eager anticipation of, not least regarding pitcher disengagement rules.
New Pitcher Disengagement Rules
- After a third step off or pick-off attempt during an at-bat where a runner does not advance and no out is made, the pitcher will be charged with a balk and all runners will advance one base.
- The CPU is less likely to throw pickoffs as their disengagement limit increases.
- The CPU is more likely to steal as the pitcher’s disengagement limit increases.
- Pitchers no longer lose Mojo after a failed step off or pick-off attempt. Pitchers instead lose Mojo when a balk is committed.
- In Pennant Race and Online Leagues, balks will increase a player’s auto-forfeit count just as beanballs and walks do.
Other Notable Improvements
- Animations have been added to Shuffle Draft that show the player selected moving to the projected lineup table, allowing remote users to see who was picked when drafting with an online party.
- In Shuffle Drafts outside of Online Leagues, you are now presented with the selections made by the CPU-controlled teams at the end of each round. You can also view the roster of the other teams at any point during the draft.
- In Franchise mode, a player’s “Valuation” is now shown alongside their Loyalty attribute. Valuation matches what the player’s starting salary would be in a fresh Franchise playthrough and reflects their fair value given their skills and other attributes.
- Players playing out of position now receive a 1-level Mojo penalty in addition to any Fielding or Arm skill penalties they normally receive. When on offense, swapping defensive positions with a player who is receiving this penalty will not remove the penalty until the next defensive inning.
