Re: R.B.I. Baseball 14 Announced For Current and Next-Gen Consoles, Mobile Devices To

Really though, this is needed for Xbox users. I still play mvp baseball 2005 on the pc with the mods from mvpmods, but the idea of a new series (Not really new, but you know what I mean), whether it be sim or arcade, really gets me excited.

Co-sign to this. I'm also still playing MVP, but was excited about a new baseball game. I was hoping it would be out before the season started, but by the time it's finally out, my (and everyone else's) interest in playing a baseball game may be waning.

I just don't get the logic of "We're releasing a game in the next few months...and then no info for over a month".

Revisiting this thread about a month later hoping to find that some more info had been released...

Don't think I've seen such a secretive game before.

It's ridiculous

I bet that the fact this is being made by MLBAM, and not a true game dev team is the reason for lack of news. With every single product they put out, you don't hear a word until basicly the day of its release. Not sure if they realize this isn't the way its done with video games.

Well, i'm sure the guys at OS and all of the others are beating their ears off for exclusive info on this game. They have to realize we all want info...

I just checked this thread for the first time in about 3 weeks and was shocked there's still no news. I just decided to preorder The Show onVita and take advantage of the preorder bonus. If RBI ends up being good, I may buy it mid season.

Beating their ears off....?

Is that an actual expression, or did you just accidentally reveal a little too much about your self there?

The logo and the name feeds off as Cartoonish and Arcadey

Hoping for simulation though

MVP series was quite cartoony and arcadish looking but provided a great playing game of baseball. Totally woiuldnt mind that at all.

It just shows how much we love the game of baseball. Before my best friend knew me, he didn't know much about baseball, and he thought it was boring. I finally convinced him that its a special sport on one summers night a couple years ago. He sat down to watch his first ever game with me, it was a Giants Astros game. I told him, "the beauty of baseball is that on any given night, you can see something special, maybe even a perfect game. And wouldn't you know, the person who didn't like baseball, sat for 3 hours eyes fixed on the screen, as Cane made baseball history with a perfect game.

Very off topic (but it's not like we have a lot to talk about in this forum currently, haha):

I grew up playing ball and loving the sport. TWIB was my favorite TV show.
But when I turned 12 I lost that love and flipped over to hockey.
I think the biggest reason I stopped enjoying baseball was poor coaching. My travel coaches were extremely nice guys. They never raised their voices or got ticked off over wins and losses. But they also didn't teach us anything.
Every one of our practices was 'one kid hit, the others field'. When we all got a turn hitting, the practice was over.
We didn't work on stealing, grounders, double-plays, relays, etc, etc. We didn't even hit off a Tee.
And our team stunk. We had a second basemen that couldn't catch flies with a bag of poop.
It got to be too much, so I quit and never really gave baseball another thought.

Then I got older and had kids. Soon they were bouncing around the ball diamonds and now my love for the sport has eclipsed what it once was.
I can't get enough.
Like you said, to the untrained eye, baseball appears boring. But if you watch and learn the intricacies, it becomes a game of poetry.
Watching a SS snag a ground ball that seemed out of reach, spin, turn and fire to 1B for an out - all while making it look routine - is a thing of beauty.
So much to love about the game.

My wife, who never played ball or even went to ball games, is now an addict too. She'll sit and watch full games with me and could go to Comerica for all 81 games if we could afford it.

We both live for Opening Day.

Many times when I sit down to watch a game, I wish I could see exactly what everyone else can. Being visually impaired makes that impossible, but that's another reason why baseball is so awesome, you don't have to see it to get the picture. I like to say that baseball is the one game you can see on radio. I started listening to the Yanks when I was 6 in 96, and haven't missed a game to date. These days though, it's a lot different. Back then, I always used my good old pocket radio, now I can use mlb.tv and watch the game with sinced radio on a roku or ps app.

Well, I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get info on this game. We no next to nothing about it, I mean we don't even know who the play-by-play broadcaster is!
