R.B.I. Baseball 14 Announced For Current and Next-Gen Consoles, Mobile Devices Too

I had one of these on SEGA. I was nowhere near into baseball, but still had a lot of fun with it. Not sure it means anything about sim versus arcade, but I'm interested.

My stance is it doesn't matter of it's sim or arcade. It's baseball, so there's a 98% probability that I'm getting it... along with The Show and PYS 2014.

I'm one of those who doesn't really care if it's sim or arcade. Ken Griffey was my favorite as a kid, and I love The Show, but I usually set games to 5 innings for the sake of time. I have a 3DS, so an arcade baseball game I could pull out for 30 minutes on that would be awesome.

Ya time can be a factor in games, especially if you don't have alot of video game time to play.

One of the things I really liked about the High Heat console series and the PowerPro / Bobblehead series, was the ability to play a very good game of realistic baseball in around 25 mins.

You have to look at it relatively. Having real players in a baseball game at the time of rbi baseball on snes is considered a sim feature. Please explain how rbi was an arcade game? Lets not compare it to the show because you are not going to habe real time ball physics and real life unique player animations on the snes

Because you could throw 30ft breaking balls, the players were 3ft tall & the ball made a whistling sound when pitched & hit

Here's hoping this game is simple and fun as hell. Sports games have gotten way too complicate in recent years. Haven't bothered playing them in a while. Just too overwhelming.

As I said, Bases Loaded was far more of a sim on an inferior system.

Relatively speaking, BL was a sim and RBI was arcadey.


My post and argument though was not to get into the "RBI was an arcade game" discussion.

It was to say that having accurate names does not make a game sim by itself.
