    R.B.I. Baseball 15 Review



    Taking classic games and turning them into modern "arcade" titles has been somewhat of a fad the past few years. For the most part -- NBA Jam being the exception -- these efforts have been clear money grabs and the actual games can't measure up to the old efforts if placed side by side.

    Unfortunately, R.B.I. Baseball 15 continues that tradition and may be one of the worst sports games of the year.

    Ouch. Nice honest review though.

      I wish this was posted a few days ago before i bought it. I'm not a fan either. $20 down the drain.

        Not questioning your review but one thing that might help out with the fielding is that there is an option for a static ball flight indicator which takes away the adventure of trying to catch fly balls. Not sure if you tried that.

          Tried that and it definitely helps (control still isn't tight to me), but you really still run into the game assigning the wrong human controlled player a lot. Really baffling how the game gets stuff like that wrong often.

            I felt burned last year after buying that version...played for about 30 minutes and never touched it again hence I had no interest in buying this game this year.

              I enjoy it for what it is, but I agree a lot more could be done with it. There is a fun game of baseball in there and it could lean a bit more towards the simulation side in the future if they decide to continue with this game.

                Sounds like they need a mega patch!

                  For arcade baseball, give me Super Mega Baseball with the MLB license (players and stadiums).

                      Glad I didn't let nostalgia grab my $20, even though on the surface, RBI 15 looked much better than 14. 14 was a disgrace, and 15 appears to be similar pig with lipstick.

                      Mega Baseball is a lot of fun, and plays a great game of baseball. The Pitcher/batter interface is excellent and challenging. I have played many, many hours on the PS4, but the PS3 version is almost the same, just not as glossy. This is the arcade game MLB should be partnering with.

                      Of course, The Show 15 PS4 is an absolute gem! True system seller. So many improvements to gameplay from 14.

                        I don't understand why the actually put this game on game consoles,it seems like a crappie mobile game if that. If this was the only baseball game I had being a Xbox one user,it would be so long Xbox one hello PS4 lol. But that's just I'm a diehard baseball fan and sports video games gamer!

                          I have some thought to buy it. It's on PC, you know... But now I will definitely pass it.

                            How about crowd-funding EA Sports to develop a baseball game again?

                              How come OS never talks about MLB Perfect Inning for mobile devices I know it's not great but it's certainly better than rbi...
