Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings now available on Xbox One

One of the best sports games last year was not licensed, nor was it a pure simulation. It was exclusive to the PS4 and it didn’t even release until December. Now that game, along with some new content, has made it over to the Xbox One.

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings went out today on Xbox One and is being sold for $17 to Xbox Live Gold members or $20 otherwise. There is also a trial version for those who’d like to get a feel for the game before committing to a purchase. 

Realistic Simulation and Physics
Don’t be fooled by the light-hearted/comical presentation; the fundamentals of baseball are well represented and if someone isn’t familiar with the rules, they will be after playing SMB.

Groundbreaking Difficulty System
Super Mega Baseball boasts an innovative difficulty control scheme called the Ego system. It offers a fine-grained control of difficulty on a per- user basis, which has been widely praised for leveling the playing field in cooperative and competitive modes. This system will push seasoned gamers to their limits while simultaneously providing a gentle introduction for beginners.

Up-to Four Player Local Co-op Play
In addition to solo play, players can try their hand at head- to-head, 2v1, 2v2 and co-op against the CPU. In co-op mode, teammates alternate batting/running each time at-bat, and alternate pitching/fielding each inning, meaning ballplayers need to be on their toes every play. To even games, players can use the Ego system to set up a competitive game between friends of any skill level.

Ultra Responsive and Blazing Fast Gameplay
Controls are easy to learn, but players will need to master jumping, diving, wall-catches, power-swings and cut-off plays to properly dominate friends. Short load times and a streamlined interface means most of the time is spent in the action, with nine-inning games taking around 20 minutes to play.

Leveling System
Players tally up Starpoints for hits, strikeouts and catches during each game and Level Up once they collect enough points. Players can hire staff to train and coach their squad, improving skill attributes such as Power and Speed. Use that jacked up team to win at higher difficulties (and post higher leaderboard scores than friends)!
