Where to begin.. we already know about the bad sound effects and the umpires being unbearable. I played nearly 300 hrs of SMB 3 and after playing a little less than 15 hours of SMB 4, I'm back playing SMB 3.

The fielding is not an improvement at all, it's a downgrade. The POV when trying to catch a ball in the infield was much better in SMB 3 as the view was higher.

Also, the players stats and ratings when pitching or batting now disappear whenever the ball is thrown. It was much better having it take less screen space, but stay there during the pich, so you had time to visualize everything. It feels rushed now.

I really hope they fix the sound effects. I don't wanna hear a rocket launch when I barely hit a foul ball.

Absolutely everything in this game is worse than in SMB 3. I tried to like it, but my god how good it felt when I played SMB 3 again after playing this new game.

The new attributes are absolutely useless, and they didn't even add trades between teams, which was one of the most requested features.

Stay away from this game, save your money and stick to SMB 3 if you want a good gaming experience.
