R.B.I Baseball 15- Tips, Suggestions, Gameplay.

[jaronko]

Hey Guys, let me start off by saying I know this game isnt The Show or close to it, but if your like me who has an Xbox One this is our only option for baseball.

I figured we can use this thread for an all around RBI forum.
-Exchange tips
-Discuss cool animations and things that happened,
-Suggestions for improvement by patch or future
-Roster Update news
-"little things" Details of things you noticed

Personally I think this game is great for $20 bucks. I never owned last years and had a PS3 before and played the show for years before I got my One at launch. I like the stadiums, night and day games, HR animations and the Dynamic Camera is pretty great.

P.S. If you own The Show or hated last years and dont want to buy it again please don't come on and constantly bash it on this thread. This is for people who are serious about RBI and enjoy it

I am also enjoying this game. I still fire up my old NES and play original RBI.

Anyway, tips, I've seen lots of people of trouble on fly balls. OLD SCHOOL MAN, gotta listen to the whooooooooop........oooooooooooooooooop. That middle section is my best text effort to show the height of the ball before its decent. That was old school NES and I love that about it.

Play behind the ball marker and start inching in on the .....ooooooop because the ball is coming down. Easier to come in on it then it is to chase it. Practice. Lot of fun

I actually switched to the static ballmarker. I was dropping too many. I'm thinking of switching to hard difficulty because I read the skill gap between good players and bad players. I'm 6-7 in my season so I'm not sure

I played the other day vs my brother in law. He's a gamer and kills me in EVERYTHING!

Well, he can't catch fly balls. I whomped him. It takes some practice. I'm 36 and grew up with no ball markers. Had to learn to judge from the sound effects. FUN. Actually makes misjuduging a ball part of the experience.

Only time I have any issues is on the balls that hook or slice down the line. But realizing now how to play those. Defense is fun.

Had a few glitches though where my ss wouldn't flip to 2b for the lead out. Weird

I bought the game on PC but have to wait until the 30th for it to release. I'm looking forward to playing it. I only have vague memories of RBI since I never actually owned it, but my all-time favorite sports game is still Baseball Stars. I miss arcadey sports games like that, so I'm glad to see RBI come back.

fly balls!!!

I know Im 36 now and its been years, but maybe I was mistaken how good I used to be at RBI on the NES? Lol...of course I am also using the Twins. Could be something to do with it. (outside of my tracking down fly balls)

On the other hand...lovin the comeback of RBI

Here's a tip, don't try and start a 3-6-3 double play. Your first baseman throws the ball into left field every time.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. I do have a PS4 and The Show but haven't even opened it. This game is perfect for pick up and play games and reminds me so much of the old games. I'm hoping the release a roster update soon. As terrible as Chris Davis can be, it feels strange not having him on the O's.

Wouldn't they change your user name for you?


Anyway, I'm waiting for this to come to iOS or go on sale.

We just pushed a patch live on PS4 that fixes some roster stability issues. As you soon as you have the patch, you can access the roster update as well.

Enjoy!

I'm playing on Steam and there's one weird glitch. I'm trying to play a 52 game season with the Orioles and my schedule is only showing about 38 games or so. I have no games at all in the second half of April. If I start with any other team, I get the whole 52.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have confirmed that this is a display issue only. If you play through the season you will properly play all games in the last 2 weeks of April, they are just not showing on the calendar. This issue exists for the Cubs as well, but all other teams appear to be fine.

This display bug will be fixed in a future update.

Do all versions use the same code?

I've noticed on the iOS version that my shortstop does not move laterally anymore, he tends to run to the outfield and misses balls that he should easily be getting. I don't know if players have their own ratings but this is José Iglesias and he seems to be running halfway into the outfield chasing the ball.
