    Looks like they took notes from The Show's retro mode.  If it plays somewhat similar to that, I might pick it up.

      So CPU to CPU trades will definitely not be in franchise mode?

        I root for this game to have everything, as advertised. I downloaded this twice on Xbox and was disappointed to the point where I deleted the games to my hard drive. Loved RBI baseball back in the day, but the last two versions were difficult to play and had no lasting appeal. Up to $30, so if the game play is cleaned up I can live with other issues.

          It would be cool to be able to play season or franchise with 2 or more friends online. Offer something the show isnt doing. Used to love playing co op seasons on nhl series on Genesis.

            I could see myself picking this up for the Switch.

              From my understanding you are only able to initiate a trade with your controlled team with another CPU controlled team, but you won't see any CPU with CPU trades during the season.

                I am either picking up RBI or SMB 2. It truly comes down to the rosters and if we are able to import/export rosters for SMB2. I have bought RBI every year since it’s initial release and I usually stop playing after a month. I am a diehard baseball guy on the Xbox so I am hoping RBI this year will keep my attention if SMB cannot import rosters

                    I wonder if you can control more than 1 team like in 2k. If so trades wouldn't be a problem.

                      While I am excited to see what R.B.I has in store I will not blindly preorder the game. We do not have a enough information and at the $29.99 price tag I will need to see some actual gameplay and user feedback prior to purchase. The last few iterations have been nothing more than a fresh coat of paint. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

                        I think the lack of screenshots and videos considering the game is meant to be coming out in a month would worry me!

                          What's the point of releasing this video with no actual game play footage?

                          Its a damn shame the baseball sim market has been monopolized by The Show. There use to be a number of great options.

                            The Show doesn't have a licensing monopoly like Madden. EA or 2k could jump back into the baseball market, but they don't see it as being profitable enough to be worth the investment. What really should have happened is Microsoft reviving the High Heat property they purchased after 3DO went under once there were no more MLB games for Xbox. I think most of us would have been very happy with a version of High Heat with updated rosters and graphics.

                              Agreed. First party licensing sounds to be a lot cheaper, but for the amount of profit the show makes, maybe Microsoft doesn’t see it as being that profitable. I thought I heard the Show only sells like 500K copies? Maybe I misread but that isn’t a lot. I wish Sony would sell the show on Xbox. Make some extra cash.

                                But I think I am getting RBI 18 I have no other options unless SMB 2 allows full customization and the ability to share
