Has anyone had a chance to play this yet? If so is it worth getting?

They have it for PS4! I'm gonna buy it, I think.
Yep, definitely getting it. Seems like they did everything right!

I assume it's a download?
Yes it is. No, I haven't played it
Bought it. playing now. Review later.
It's fun. Needs more teams, editing options however
Spoke with the devs. Editing teams is the most requested update. They are aware. Team of threes dudes though. Might not happen fast.
Very fun and worth a buy. Pitching will take lots of practice I think. That lining up the reticle part was challenging. That's good thing though.
For $20 I may have to get this game too. Fielding for me is huge in baseball games and I'm hoping the reviewer was correct in saying that it's "easy to pick up".
it is. Move, jump, dive, throw (with preloading available, power meters). Apparently as you increase you rego, fielding is less automatic...
Its needs online multi player.
It's not happening. Though, share play is supposed to work well.
It's crazy people keep releasing these fun baseball games without multiplayer, must be much more work to code? Figure XBOX would have an API to make it easy
These guys are only a three person studio and they just simply didn't have the resources (bodies, server budget) to handle it.
This game is pretty damn great though.
Jake and I doing a season together.
i concur...pretty damn fun game...also 10% off this weekend on the psn if anyone is interested.
It really is pretty perfect. One if their biggest requests is full customization. It's coming.
So better than new RBI? Anyone still playing that? We had fun with our session at Lips' awhile back but never picked it up again.
I think so. Rbi was good but I like this better especially with the customization and full season stats.

never got around to playing rbi 14 but from what a bunch of reviews have said...this game is what rbi should have been with the stat tracking and such.
It's gotten great reviews. These guys hit a home run. No pun intended.
That's for all the reviews. I'm buying this one this weekend. Mostly to have a new game to play but also because I'm pissed rbi15 won't be on the PS3. So pissed at that.
Not sure if you guys are still playing this game but they added an update a few days ago.

Also if you have an Xbox One or want to play it on a PC via Steam SMB "extra innings" will be available this summer. Apparently the "extra innings" PS3/PS4 version will be available to current owners via free update/DLC later.

Very cool.
I downloaded it last month but haven't had a chance to check it out. God that's pathetic. I'll try to fire it up next week!!! That's for the FYI on the update.
The only thing I don't like about this game is the pitching mechanic. It's REALLY hard to get that cursor right. I wish they had metered pitching or basic pitching, or even a practice mode so you could practice throwing pitches. I think that makes an otherwise great game less accessible for kids (my 8 year old would play it if it had a simpler mechanic).
I've played it a lot since my last post on the 22nd. Started a season, messed with the leveling up, practiced pitching.
God, this game is fkn awesome. Once you're able to edit team names and colors it'll be complete.
Ichiro, wanna try a shareplay game?
I have a PS3. Am I able to Share Play?
I agree this game is fkn awesome! Do you like it better than the new RBI '15?
Yeah, shareplay works, but I don't think between consoles (I have PS4).
I've been playing a lot and absolutely I love it better than the new RBI...it has a better feel to it, and if they soon allow you to fully edit the teams, it'll be perfect.
Another new classic baseball option coming for PS4 - Bases Loaded is being released (http://kotaku.com/widescreen-can-make-nes-games-better-1718174367), in the original graphical style. We can only hope that PASTE will make his glorious return, kick a pitcher in the nuts, and get ejected.
Here's a quick video about the devs for SMB starting at about 1:25 in. Hopefully the MLB will recruit these guys to make next seasons RBI baseball.

FYI: For anyone who has SMB on the PS4, they came out with new stadiums and a patch yesterday. Also if you don't own this game but want to give it a try they released a demo version too. See below for all the links.
1. The PS4 Extra Innings Stadium Pack (free DLC) is now available: https://goo.gl/23uz9r
2. A new PS4 patch went live: http://supermegabaseball.com/forums/topic/ps4-patch-notes-version-1-02/
3. And a free Trial Mode was released: https://goo.gl/pGXFdr
Unfortunately all us PS3 users have to wait a little longer for the new stadiums and patch. :(
Thanks for the heads up!
This game is so solid.
