Can't hit the cutoff man, it seems. (I realize this is RBI, but still...)

There is a 10 run rule

This reminds me of the game of my youth, which was hours and hours of fun.

Just couldn't recall the advance base runner control buttons, but thanks to Steve, I know it now.

It's all I could ask for since I last played this game.

Played vs the Cards and there was a arch in the outfield.

I said this in another thread yesterday, stats weren't in the game then, didn't expect them now. Yes, they are important to baseball, but when you only have 1 reliever, 4 starters and 16 players, stats aren't that important to me with a game from the early 90's.

To each their own on stats. If they add them later down the line, great.

Can you guys find out what the difference will be on the PS4 version compared to PS3? Thanks Blitz

Did the spitball make the return? I think you held C while pitching back on the genesis. Try holding b while pressing pitch.

Maybe next years version. The gameplay is beyond exceptional. Quick question.

I noticed one of the achievements is throw a runner out at home with a Fast Throw from outfield. What is a Fast Throw?

Love the gameplay. It's PERFECT. I just feel like I woke up on Christmas morning to an empty tree.

I mean the thing is... this thing is called RBI Baseball. How can it not have RBI's?

I know the original didn't either, and I'd probably ask the same question then as well. If it was harder to make happen back then, that's one thing. But now? That's like rebooting the NBA Inside Drive series and removing layups and dunks from it.

I understand that nothing here was "removed" per se, but it certainly is weird.

just played the demo and it isnt something id pay more than $5 for. the fielding is finicky and i cant hit to save my life. pitching is pretty easy though. just spam the throw button and move the control stick around.
