This shows they desperately want a game representing their league avaible to the most amount of people possible. They will want their league represented in the best way, and not by arcade . I would think

I wouldn't put all your eggs in THAT basket just yet.

If that's the case, this game has been in production for at least a year

Or it's footage from another developer's MLB licensed game. This sort of thing would probably be done at the same time and place regardless of if it's being done by MLB or 2K or Sony.

It could be, but I'm not so sure.
The RBI logo is displayed, and MLBAM is shown at the end.

Maybe they're using 2K's photo's from 2K13 or maybe this really is MLBAM's show.

If I were a betting man, I'd say it's most likely for RBI baseball.

Pastapadre says it's an arcade style game

Here is what I am thinking. I wonder if this game was supposed to come out last year, but they probably couldn't get it done. That is probably why MLB 2k13 was a major surprise and was the same game as 2K12. MLB 2k13 was the fall back and seemed to be announced at the last minute.

I am hoping this will be more of a simulation because I would hate to think about buying a system for 1 game (even though the Show is a fantastic game).

I had read that too, but he has no proof. On Twitter he even had to retract the statement.

PP has some good inside info at times but he's not always right.
He was convinced that MLB2K was done after 2K12 but then 2K13 came around.

If I had to bet, I'd say that RBI was going to be more arcade than sim.
Still, nobody knows for sure yet.
For all we know, MLB had 2K produce another game last year while they worked on RBI.
The vid of Soriano makes a good case that they've been working on this for a year already. Maybe more.

I was thinking the same thing.

Really hoping for a 3DS version as well.
