I'll be happy to have a downloadable game with a season mode. Something similar to Power Pros on 360. Like having the option of being able to play a quick game of baseball that's also fun. Sometimes you don't have enough time to get through a whole of The Show or another sim experience.

I highly doubt this is going to be a big budget title like MLB 2K or The Show that is going to satisfy hardcore baseball gamers apatites, it will probably be a mobile/arcade game.

My understanding is that MLBAM is developing the game which is not the same company that developed the previous titles, therefore I stand by my comments that there is no need for speculation just yet.

There's no need for speculation any time, but this is a sports gaming forum, so uh... Yeah.

If there are indeed building the game from the ground up I think that only increases the chance at it being an arcade game, because I have a hard time believing they would invest the extra time needed to make a simulation game that would probably have less mass appeal anyways.

Again, I'm not get my hopes up for this game, but there is a very real possibility that they put out something good based on the history of the series in Japan.

If Konami are the developers then watch out. They can contend.

I am pretty excited for this. As a PS4 owner, I will always pick up The Show as long as they continue to do what they have done for almost the last decade. As long as they continue to put out such a consistent, real product, I am with them. For as interactive as they are with us here on OS, I couldn't be happier with them. I can't wait to hear some new though.

Anywho, back to the point of this game... I think this will be fantastic! I am assuming it will be an arcade type of game, but I am still quite excited for it. I think something like that would complement The Show nicely in the world of baseball video games. Now, if I were an XBOX guy, then yeah, I would want a serious simulation. But being a Playstation person, I welcome an arcade style game. At least XBOX will have a baseball game this year, and on next gen. I am sure that is what Major League Baseball thought as well with this, at least wanting to put something, anything, out on XBOX, especially with the whole next gen situation too.

Now, I say this knowing nothing about it. It could be an awful game. However, I welcome an arcade style game, IF that is indeed what it is. I look forward to seeing what the game will actually be in the near future.

All that being said, this certainly came out of left field, didn't it? Never saw this coming at all.

Serious. Last came out for NES so its been awhile.

Last came out on Sega Genesis.

Unless this has been in the works for a while now and there is a real game studio behind it then theres really no shot at this even meeting the 2k series standards. Im unbeleiveably excited for this because I dont want to have to buy a dumb ps4 for a baseball game but I need to keep my expectations in check. Thetes no way MLBAM is going to make a decent next gen baseball game. It has to be some sort of cheap downloadable arcade game. Unless of course they hired the 2k baseball division guys.

If this game was made by the 2k devs who have the video game knowlege along with the MLBAM guys who have the baseball knowlege and enthusiasm, then ill be VERY excited.

... I dont want to have to buy a dumb ps4 for a baseball game ...

At the very least, I'd consider buying a used PS3 & the Show 14.

I hope there's info soon. If it's an average cartoony baseball game I'll probably just buy a PS4 and get The Show

I bought a ps3 for the sole purpose of The Show 12, 13. It collected dust when that game wasnt being played. I sold the ps3 when I got an X1.

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.

I had never heard of this, actually. I'd be tickled pink to play a game like that on my 3ds.

On another note... Why oh why can't some developers make some UNLICENSED baseball games for current generations?

Seems like now would be the time with only one (two now, I guess) licensed options.

The more I think about it the worse the scenario gets, it seems like MLB panicked and knew it couldn't. not have a game on the market for other systems, scrambled and got MLBAM to throw something together very quick and cheaply. I really hope im wrong.
