Good stuff.

I just love this game for whatever reason, quick games etc. Now with multiple seasons, stat tracking, and ability to sim games well giddy up!

I enjoyed the IOS version last year and will definitely pick up that one again. I may get the PC one when it's discounted.

Last year was his first year in The Show (game). You act as if it's been forever, yet Cespedes has had generic face ever since he was put in game. Some players get scanned, some do not. The Show 16 facescans will be from spring training of 2015.

this game is beyond pathetic and its an embarrassment to baseball fans, can't believe it's coming out for another year

Multiple seasons? Stat tracking? On the PC? This is sounding promising!!

I opened this thread and immediately ducked out of the way. It was as if he was coming right into my chair.

Those graphics are pretty rough looking. If it plays well who cares, I agree. But still. Yeesh.

Graphically like like a high resoulition n64 game. However if it plays well that's what will really count.

Nice to see that they are continuing on with the series. I do like the look of the spacious outfields, appears as though any type of hit could be available.

RBI needs to let us edit players, names, numbers, abilities, appearance, etc. also, create a player? Create a team, logo and so on. Download or sharing created teams and roster would get the buzz this game needs to get more people playing it.
The gameplay is simple and perfect. Just miss old days when some players seemed super human and hit a hr every time.

By multiple seasons do they mean franchise in some way or the other?

I feel like this game would be awesome if they eased off the, "It's just like classic RBI Baseball!" just a bit. For example, I don't want my starting pitcher topping out at 64 MPH after four innings.
