We do not even know if it is even trying to run with the Show. It could be taking a different path. I am expecting something very light graphically but potentially very heavy in the Stats department. I would not be surprised if it was a digital download only type situation.

Still, whatever its target audience is, the secrecy is beyond odd.

I don't know how not showing any screen shots can be construed as anything positive. Ever.

Being it's mlbam making the game no doubt it will have real mlb players (don't we already know this from the Soriano video).

I don't really want them to try and compete with the show because of course that would be impossible, at least in year one. What i'm hoping for is a more user involved type game (cursor hitting anyone) and not so much randomness or sim, call it what you want.

I don't think the Soriano video had anything to do with RBI. It was pretty old. And nothing to do with the video mentioned RBI. The only RBI thing was an ad, which is all over mlb.com. It's very likely that video was just for 2K and The Show.

I'm not too concerned about lack of screenshots yet. You only get one chance to make a first impression. If it's the week of release and there's no screens or any more info yet, then I'll definitely be concerned. But not quite yet.

Ok, I didn't know it was old. I saw it in the original Rbi thread and just presumed it was for that game.

Like I said in the other thread .....if they use real MLB players and it has good front office options....I'm on board.

The video was taken prior to the start of the 2013 season.
It could very well have been for another game, but I got the impression it was for RBI.
Why advertise a photo session that was nearly a year old, with a mention of RBI above it?

I'm of the opinion that this video was for RBI baseball. But we won't know for a little while.

CMH, I agree. There have been plenty of 1st-year games that weren't perfect but were still incredibly fun.
I think of NHL07 and Fight Night. And despite the massive amount of venom directed at NBA Live, I've heard there are some good qualities to that series. Enough to make it a decent game to play.

So I'm not looking for perfection. Give me a fun ball game.

That's exactly my point. The video was posted PRIOR to the season. RBI wasn't announced until almost a year later. It was not part of RBI advertising and makes no mention of RBI. If you go there now that ad above the video is for MLB.tv, just like every other video on mlb.com.

Sorry, to be a buzzkill, just really don't think we can assume that has anything to do with RBI. I could be wrong. But I think they capture head scans every spring training, just like photos.
