That was the only issue I had in trading in my PS4. I am no longer a Show player, and that will be tough to swallow for sure.

That being said, I'm on board with XBox One now. Super Mega Baseball 2 will definitely be a purchase for me, but there's something to be said about a licensed baseball game. And the fact I'll be able to get SMB2 and RBI Baseball 17 for the same or less than The Show itself, I'll probably get both!

RBI 16 was on sale for $6 a week or two ago, thought about picking it up for Xbox One, since I don't have any other options on that console.

Not really understanding the hate for this game. No wonder there is only 1 big title for each sport.

Really? thats a bit of a rubbish statement.
If EA got their heads out of their butts and made MVP again, it would eventually become a great tittle again and many of us here would have both no questions asked.

Still mind-boggling X1 doesn't have sim baseball.

Hell 2k once made an annual sim baseball game and two other versions of the BIGS. There has to be some money to be made there.

Since there's been no news about the game's features, I assumed it was basically a roster update. Turns out it's a roster update AND a patch.

@MarcRader68 Hi Marc - we've made improvements to the fidelity of ballparks and improved batting, pitching and overall gameplay.

All they had to do was give me online, and I'd pay for this, but no online means no purchase!

Bought the IOS version yesterday. Have only played one game so far. Gameplay feels a little better. I felt like 16's hitting was too difficult - you (and the CPU) had to make perfect contact to hit anything with authority. I noticed a new animation where a guy dove and deflected the ball and then got up and tried to throw out the runner.
The negatives were that the sound only works through your earpiece and there was some stuttering in the later innings. I'm assuming that stuff will be fixed in a patch.
As a mobile game, it's fine. I'm almost glad they didn't release it on PC because I would've been tempted to buy it just to have the latest rosters and because the gameplay seems improved, though I know I would eventually get bored with the simplicity. Can't wait for Super Mega Baseball 2 this summer.
