Metalhead Software has just released a new 9+ minute video showcasing Super Mega Baseball 3’s new features, including a deep dive into the new Franchise mode, that contains deep team and player management, upgrades to the existing modes, new content and customization options, and more.
In addition, Metalhead has revealed, that due to the industry-wide changes from COVID-19, there have been some logistical delays in the game’s release. They aren’t ready to announce a change from the April release window quite yet, but they are optimistic that if there is a delay, it will be minor.
The team has also announced their Super Mega Baseball 2 Team Import tool, which is scheduled to arrive soon after launch, allowing users to import their custom rosters from Super Mega Baseball 2 to use in Super Mega Baseball 3.
And lastly, a major online gameplay feature is under development and will be announced prior to launch.
