Metalhead Software has announced their new mode called Custom Pennant Race, which builds upon the existing Pennant Race mode, by allowing players to organize a private cross-platform Pennant Race and invite their friends to participate (up to 32 total players).
The mode will allow custom settings for competitive or casual play, including the duration of the Pennant Race, innings per game, and more. This mode will release as a free post-launch update in early Summer 2020.
“Custom Pennant Race mode is a game changer for how we play Super Mega Baseball 3 with friends,” said Metalhead co-founder Scott Drader. “The idea for the mode came to us as a way to address a lot of feature requests we’ve had from the community, using the existing Pennant Race mode as the foundation.”
Super Mega Baseball 3 will release on May 13, for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam for $44.99.
On another note, below are a couple of interesting tweets from the official Super Mega Baseball 3 account.
In Franchise mode, you'll see your players' skills and abilities improve or decline with age. You'll also notice physical changes when players age year by year, like weight gain and grey hair! #SuperMegaBaseball3 pic.twitter.com/oABsWh1KsS

In Franchise mode, Player Development allows players to improve certain skills through customized training. For a cost, you can increase skills such as power and speed, but some skills may decrease to compensate for another skill’s increase #supermegabaseball3 pic.twitter.com/EREBwZBYCa
