    The excellent franchise mode adds loads of depth and decision making, and on-field play is livelier than ever.

    Now in its third iteration in six years, Super Mega Baseball has miraculously maintained its freshness by adding engaging new characters, features, and customization, and not becoming a spammy annualized franchise. More importantly, Super Mega Baseball 3 deftly represents what people love about the sport, with its larger-than-life characters, exhilarating moments, and agonizing defeats. We may not have Major League Baseball this year, but the game's spirit lives on.

    SMB 3 pretty much cancels its two predecessors by improving even the smallest details — now that’s an evolving franchise!

    Super Mega Baseball 3 is still a thrilling, engaging, fun baseball experience on the field. I fell in love with Metalhead’s games from the start, enjoying elements like the innovative pitching controls — still one of my favorite mechanics in any baseball game I’ve ever played — while I giggled and smirked at the players’ ridiculous names. With its smart, engrossing franchise mode bringing it home, Super Mega Baseball 3 is another fantastic entry in what has become one of my all-time favorite sports series.

    This game is just so fantastically good, it is an absolute MUST buy for baseball fans.
    Best arcade baseball game of all time, on any system    This game is just so fantastically good, it is an absolute MUST buy for baseball fans.
    Best arcade baseball game of all time, on any system from any era.
    It has to be one of the best arcade sports games, period, too.

    Gameplay feels rock solid, fun, fresh, fast, cheerful and upbeat. Its a shining gem of a game in my steam collection.

    Ive only played 10 hours of SMB3 so far, but im playing it alongside the MLB the show and am loving diving into this regularly. I already have a baseball game I love - MLB The Show... But I find owning this too is the cherry on my happy baseball gaming cake. Multiplay with a friend was a blast. Switching between this and MLB is always a really fresh and extreemly welcome experience.
    Love that it exists!

    I started out with Super Mega Baseball 2 and bought 3 on the strength of 2. Hooked!
    Its too much fun not to own. There are a several game modes and plenty of options, but I myself mainly play short exhibition games. The difficulty setting called EGO which can be set from between 1 and 100. I mainly play the CPU and keep gradually increasing the difficulty.

    If you like baseball, buy this without any hesitation whatsoever.
    Also buy it if youre after a brilliant arcade sports game. This is gold!

    If you dont even play baseball, this game is worth learning the rules, just to play. Its fun!
    Its not the kind of game Id play all day long, but its so well polished and so much fun, I keep diving into the franchise and coming back for more games.

    Got it on steam sale. Love it. Recommend it very highly! Its earned a special place in my heart.    … Full Review »

    One of the best baseball games ever made and the best in my opinion since backyard baseball. This game is criminally underrated and is aOne of the best baseball games ever made and the best in my opinion since backyard baseball. This game is criminally underrated and is a perfect iteration of a team that poured their heart and soul into this franchise. By far the best gameplay in any baseball game, and maybe for any sports game for that matter. So many different game modes to choose from, and the franchise mode is superb. I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game. Thank you Metalhead.… Full Review »
