R.B.I. Baseball 14 Info and Screenshots

[RaychelSnr]

At the end of the day, R.B.I. Baseball 14 is pretty much exactly what we thought it would be. A report filed by Polygon says the game will be the fast-paced baseball game from your childhood with two button controls.

"It's going to be very true to the roots of the brand, of R.B.I. Baseball," said Jamie Leece, vice president of games for MLB Advanced Media, in a phone interview with Polygon earlier this week. "It will be fast-paced; games can be played in under 20 minutes. From a user control standpoint, fans will find the controls to be 'classic,' reminiscent of the two-button controls from games of that generation."

MLB also commented that players will behave as they do in real life, with real-life data being the basis for attributes and player behavior within the game. The game will feature a season mode, an exhibition mode, and a playoff mode. No cost information was revealed, but it was revealed the game will be a digital release on PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, and mobile platforms.

R.B.I. Baseball 14 will release on the PS3/Xbox 360 initially (reported to be April 10), with the next-gen consoles release following that. You can see more screens of the game here.

What do you think? Is R.B.I. Baseball 14 what you expected? Are you going to buy?

To clarify, MLB Advanced Media says it'll be "fast-paced" but not "arcade" -- i.e., no power-ups like The Bigs or MLB Slugfest.

I'm sure the mechanics and gameplay will be enjoyable, but man, those player models look awful.

As a husband and dad, 20 minute games are much more doable than the hour required by the recent baseball sims. If it's fun and produces reasonably accurate results, I'll be happy. The 16-man rosters isn't ideal, but I've live with it.

Three player models on a next-gen system sure is disappointing.

Depending on the price, I'll still probably buy... on mobile.

Glad I decided to bite on a PS4 too. 9 innings baseball on my phone looks as good as that.

iPad for me. I'm not going to waste my PS4's power on this when I can be playing the Show.

I was hoping for something more along the lines of MLB Power Pros.

Little early for an April Fools joke. Disappointed if these are shots from the consoles.

Not sure if you're following the updates on The Show. Playing with Quick Counts & Fast Play both on should get you through a game in 20-30 minutes. I actually hope this game is more 'arcadey' because it won't do well otherwise.
