I could be wrong. But I think they capture head scans every spring training, just like photos.

I'm not poo-poo'ing your point. You could be right.
But to play devils advocate who's to say this game hasn't been in the works for over a year now?
There may be a link between that older video and MLB basically bagging 2K to make a game last year. Perhaps it's because RBI wasn't ready in 2013 yet and they needed another year?

I just find it too much of a coincidence that MLB.tv posts that video just a few days after announcing RBI 14.
And I don't recall MLB.tv ever posting anything about video game production in the past.
(I could be very wrong about that, and I'll stand corrected if proven incorrect)

Again, you could be bang-on with your assessment. I'm not saying you're wrong.
I just think there's enough evidence to suggest that the video could very well belong to RBI 14.

I'm all in if this is the case.

But recent events (rather, or lack thereof) aren't leading me to hold my breath that this will have any sim qualities -in the front or back end - to it in the slightest.

But like I said earlier, I REALLY REALLY hope I'm wrong.

That's the thing. They didn't. It was posted in March of last year. Someone linked to it on here right after the RBI announcement, but it was originally posted on MLB.com last March.

2k has to be behind RBI. I went to download 2k11 from the Microsoft store today, which I have purchased before and low and behold it was not there. There were NO signs of any 2k baseball anything on the Microsoft store on the xbox.

Yep, RBI 14 I'm convinced has 2k written all over it.

2k may not be allowed to sell the older games anymore since they no longer have the license. Just a thought.

(Which of course doesn't mean you can't find them around, just that you wouldn't find them from 2k directly)

It looks like the past MLB titles' PC versions have been pulled from Steam, too.

Not 100% sure but isn't take2 publishing this rbi game and 2k is related to take2 in some form, so you may be right.

Ahhh got it. The 2k baseball titles are still on amazon though.

2K was listed as the publisher on a website that was posted here earlier.
But on IGN, it lists "TBA". So who knows?
