Interested to read impressions and see more gameplay video. I've got the demo in my 360 queue. Hoping to get a chance to play it after work.

Re: R.B.I. Baseball 14 Available Now

Excellent gameplay. Really feels like the 8/16 bit games of my childhood. Here's my one complaint

NO STATS.

This would be my goto baseball game if it had stats. I love the show but find that every time I play it I wish I still had my all time favorite: Ken Griffey Jr presents MLB. It kept stats during the season on your players. That's all I ask.

I do feel like I will play with my 6 year old but other than playing with kids I would avoid. Unless stat tracking can be patched in. Then it would be the only game I played.

Really fun game of baseball. Reminds me of the old RBI game which is what I wanted. Controls are easy and the games are pretty fast but do allow you to use strategy in them. I've pulled off a few hit and runs to perfection.

First game I was the Red Sox and beat the Yankees 6-4.

Highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of retro games.

Lack of season stats doesn't bother me as the original didn't have it anyway. If you are expecting the original RBI you will enjoy this. If you are expecting The Show, probably not your type of game.

I think we must agree to disagree about stats. Stats is baseball. Period. I'm not expecting Sabremetrics here. Just give me W/L/Era/K for pitchers and BA/HR/RBI/SB for hitters. That's it. I realize that the original did not have it but if you are playing a season the numbers matter. I don't care about league leaders. Just my team. Then the game would be a 10/10 all day. Love the gameplay. It's PERFECT. I just feel like I woke up on Christmas morning to an empty tree.

I can understand that. I will say that the fielding graphics remind me of Griffey.

Everything reminds me of that masterpiece of a game. I was sounding like a 10 year old all over again talking to my wife about this game last night. She just didn't understand.....

Here are the settings and controls.

(You can change fielding controls to Assisted, Ball Height Indicator to Off)

You can't manually dive, it seems to be automatic, if it needs to happen. Playing the outfield will take some time to get used to.
