    I'm a few hours in and the game isn't nearly as bad as the subreddit might lead some to believe, but the part I am most excited about is watching more Longball HQ videos

      @@longballhq3128 In a non DH game you can't change the pinch hitter position on the offensive side of the ball. Like if my LF bats 8th and my P ninth, so I pinch hit for the P with my backup LF and want the next P to take the place of the 8th hole hitting LF, I can't make that change until I'm switiching sides of the ball and the game prompts me to select the batter I'm subbing out. I think the reason behind this is position players can now pitch, so it won't let me make the 8 hole guy the "pitcher" if I'm not down by a lot of runs. This is a small thing but in the very first exhibition game I played I pinch hit for the P and went on a scoring spree so long that I had to go to the bathroom when it was over. When I got back I spammed my select button and never subbed out the 8 hole guy. Extremely minor thing? Absolutely. Entirely my fault? Also yes. Should it be fixed as a quality of life thing? I think so. Is this far too long of a comment? Yes it is. Hotel? Trivago.

    Just started playing Super Mega Baseball 4. My first SMB experience. Having fun, but I'm sooo bad at pitching. I'm just terrible at aiming. I've been practicing. Getting a little better, but I'm still egregious. Been playing pennant races online. Quite fun.

      There's a learning curve for sure. Check out my tips vid for smb3 if you want to. Only difference now is you position your aim with the last arrow, rather than aiming at the receiving spot of the catcher. They patched that halfway through smb3

    thoughts on the age changes? at first it was a little annoying just cuz im used to the young ones ive come to like and build teams around getting older. But now im liking it much more and appreciate that it is a completely different game. Grace Loopinovich is super old now, Irene fast at 38, oof. just to name a few
    Ui changes for buttons and stuff were yucky but literally only took me one day to get used to it.

    • @longballhq3128

      You're ahead of me on the UI, I kinda hate it honestly, but I'll adapt if I have to. Grace being old is a bummer, she was a favorite, Irene too. Obviously some players are going to be older though. It's for sure weird that we have guys aging backwards, but waddayagonnado. At least Longballo is younger now, can't hate that

    As a Grappler fan they look gutted to me. The issue was never the rubber so Black is whatever, and the lineup lost their good traits, Kelby Losing her power and Bambino's RBI Man going to Bad Jumps. They then slapped a level 3 wiffer on Demarco. They get nothing trait wise on offense to make up for it wile every other is oozing with great hitter traits. I guess we are lucky Godsendez also did not get a negative.
    What really hurts is the Grapplers were really top heavy before, relying on the Star bats to score runs in between hit less innings from the rear of the lineup. It was debatable if the star bats were good enough to carry before and since they have fallen back and everyone else has jumped forward I think it is safe to say the Grapplers are a Duds and Duds team.

    Every. Single. Time. But when I hit the batter in the head with a 375 mph fast ball he hits a line drive home run. It's so predictable and just ruins the game. I think this game has a better use as toilet paper.
