Create a Player (Super Mega Baseball 4)

[Rosie]

The sequel to the once indy Baseball series is now out (on pre-release) Super Mega Baseball 4. I played it like mad yesterday, creating a custom league and enjoying the game which now includes the classic Super Mega Baseball characters like Hammer Longballo, Nacho Crisp, Jaques O'ften, Ronda Horne, and more... And has MLB Alumni like David Ortiz, Jose Bautista, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Big Sexy himself, Bartolo Colon.

Spoiler: Warning: Big and Sexy

If you are interested, it will be available on all consoles + PC on June 2nd. Here's the trailer and a deep dive or two. It's fast paced arcade style with decent depth.

Last game series I had each of you create a custom team... before work got me to lose interest and it was a bit too daunting for some of you guys. So this time, I'm simplifying it a bit.

I have a 20 team custom league created. They feature created teams from around the world based (approximately) where each of the game's fun and creative parks are likely based. Here they are:

Spoiler: The Intercontinental League

I have them determined except for one thing: The players on the team. There is also a Free Agent's Pool which I can freely customize. A new feature in the game is the Shuffle Draft where you can basically do a fantasy draft. To make it interesting, they have you pick from a limited pool of players to ensure you don't end up with the same team over and over AND allows generally balanced teams. To end this long winded explanation: I want you to create some extra players for me to add to the shuffle draft and you guys will be the stars of my first Franchise mode. I'm allowing multiple players from each person if you want also
