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

[Profit89]

I think the best case scenario we can hope for is Power Pros-like game that has cartoony graphics, but plays a realistic game of baseball. Since there will be console versions, I'm hopeful that the mobile versions won't be transaction-based, but just one flat fee. If it turns out like this, I'll pickup both the XBL and Android versions.

Power Pros is still the best baseball game imo.

Watch it be some free to play game with ton of micro-transaction because obviously that model is taking over the gaming scene right now.

Most likely this will be more of a Arcade style baseball game instead of a true simulation and realistic game like MLB The Show is.

The only thing we have is a name. We do not even know what type a game it will be, it could even be a management simulation type game for all we know. For myself I am not expecting anything over the top, could have a better idea if we knew who the developer was.

I've been playing a lot of old Ken Griffey Baseball on Snes and having a blast with it. As much as I love a sim style game I am thoroughly enjoying these quick season games.

I am excited for RBI 14. I hope we get back to a time that we have multiple sim choices and multiple arcade styles. There is certainly room for both in my house.

Also, I do a bunch of World Series mode with my buddy (we used to play all the time but his last console was a snes) and I have updated the KG rosters to last seasons. Great fun.

Seeing that Take-Two was publishing this game made me chuckle.
It also seems to shed some light on the reason why 2K-Korea was hiring a programmer for a baseball game.
Maybe TT/2K is helping MLB develop this game?

I have a feeling it's going to be a downloadable game. But sometimes those can be insanely fun. Just look at State of Decay. That was a pretty big, ambitious and deep game.
Who's to say RBI couldn't be the same?

Trying to understand how people are interpreting "cartoony" from a logo. Of course, they may be right, but using the logo as a guideline is silly. I see a classic baseball font on that logo, much like the Dodgers logo. Oh, and a baseball diamond. Not really much more cartoony than this one:

Remembered playing RBI Baseball back in the days. Now if we can get High Heat, All Star, and World Series again.......
One of my best YouTube memories of RBI Baseball was Game 6 of the 86 World Series...Remember?

This is disappointing... no doubt in my mind that this is going to be a baseball simulator.. those guys over at MLB advanced media are not video game makers of any sort.. o well here's to the show and ps4.. dam shame xb1 gets shafted in baseball..

This could be really cool if they do it right. The RBI/Famista series has actually been going strong all the way up to the Nintendo 3DS, it's just that it's only been published in Japan (as Famista).

Thing is it's also turned into a really good and challenging game in that time. The AI plays well, and they even have a quality season mode. Early RBI games cannot make that claim.

So if RBI 14 is just a trip down nostalgia lane and a remake of those early RBI games, then this news is not very exciting. If however they transformed one of the latest iterations into an MLB version, people are in for a real treat.

Everyone that's speculating it's going to be arcade....where are you getting this info from??? No one knows anything about this game so stop pretending you have inside info on it. Another company decided to make a baseball game which we knew would eventually happen. There is no reason to think it won't be a simulation type game...that's what the market needs.

I must say, coming for consoles and smartphones doesn't give off a good vibe to me. Sure the smartphone app could be a totally seperate game, but I'm thinking it's going to be a PSN/XBL download type of game.

I would buy a refresh of the original with the only thing changed being the teams and rosters. The gameplay was fantastic.
