I'm not sure what that means, honestly.

Matt, the CPU pitchers threw a couple spitters at me.

I would say if you didn't play the original RBI, you probably won't like it because you are used to 2k and The Show. If you did play the original RBI, you will probably like the game.

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

Exactly! It already tracks these things throughout the game below the box score. Why not compile them throughout the season. Who cares if they are goofy. I want Freddie a Freeman to bat 480. That was a large part of the charm those days. The individual games felt fairly realistic but stats were not necessarily.

Hows the IOS version? Can I play on both Iphone and Ipad?

Is there roster customization? I only have ps4 and am craving baseball badly right now may spend the $5 to get a quick mobile fix.

iOS version looks pretty much the same as the console version, controls are obviously a little different. I bought it for the iPad, but saw it on my iPhone as well. Don't have to pay twice, if that's what you're asking.

There is no customization of rosters, period.

I guess I'm just different.

I know I'm playing a arcade type game, I don't need to know Carlos Gomez hit 107 HR's and drove in 362 runs.

I know I'm being facetious, but I don't need to know or track that, especially in a single season game.

Maybe if the game played out in multiple seasons, I'd see the point more to track stats.

We are at the mercy of the company's decision.

I'm sure part of it was to keep it simple like the original game.

I suppose but I just don't see how it hurts the game to track some basic stats.

To answer another question, IOS is good also. I can't field worth anything do to virtual joystick so I use auto field on ios

damn was hoping for HR distance...i know the original didnt have that but rbi 2, 3 on NES did.

I grabbed the iOS version. I got it for iPad and iPhone. It is definitely the first time I've really enjoyed a game of baseball on iOS (not counting OOTP). For $5 on iOS this game is worth it all day long as a time killer on the road or whatever.

I love the graphics actually. The field looks great, they implemented real life "stadiums" for all the teams, colors are vibrant and it feels like the RBI and Griffey baseball we remember. It's just fun.

I will say that it is better for iPad than for iPhone. Granted I have an iPhone 4 so it's old hardware and the screen is tiny.
