That alone makes this game awesome.

Irresponsible speculation time:
Does anyone think there's a connection between 2K announcing it was done with MLB baseball (Jan 7) and RBI announcing it's return (Jan 15th) within a relatively close timeframe?

We've already discussed the coincidences of 2K Korea looking for a baseball programmer and 2K Sports publishing RBI '14.

It has me excited at the prospect of RBI using 2K's analog pitching and pitcher-batter interface (which I believe is done extremely well).

Hopefully we hear more news soon. I'm looking forward to the first screenshots released.

I don't think its been confirmed that 2K is publishing RBI. I think that was a misunderstanding with that old RBI project that got an ESRB rating, but never came out.

If RBI has awesome announcers, and pretty good gameplay, I'll get it along with the show! Even though graphics don't mean as much to me being visually impaired, it still has to play a good game of baseball for me. Can't wait to hear some news!

I don't know.

Hearing that it's being developed for mobile devices has me not holding my breath that this will be a sim title.

I hope I'm wrong though!

I guess you never know. Fifa is on mobile platforms. Same with other sports games. I doubt it's sim but we shall see.

Part of me thinks the mystery of what the new RBI baseball will be is going to be more interesting than the game itself. This will be fun to watch unfold.
