Anyway, I just don't want to bury this game without yet knowing anything about it.

For the original poster I replied to he said the Show underwhelmed him. If the Show does that to him then RBI would have to be sim, which it won't be.

Not to put words in his mouth, but I believe he said the news about MLB 14 underwhelmed them.
If you break down what was revealed MLB 14 will have better looking beards, crowds, grass, stadiums and online franchise.
There was nothing about gameplay.
So maybe that's what he was hoping to hear; some gameplay changes, updates, etc.

Saying that, not everyone likes MLB's brand of baseball. That's why it's always good to have choices.
I've gone back and forth between 2K and MLB the last few years. Both offer things the other doesn't.

At this point, nobody has any idea what kind of game RBI will be so it's too early to tell if it'll fit someone's style of play.

I'm hoping for a good game that plays sim but has elements of arcade to it minus the explosions. Give me Thorne as the broadcaster and an ai that knows baseball. Something along the lines of Power Pros would be great, i'm fine with that type of graphics, in fact I almost prefer them!

Kinda feeling this myself. If I have my info correct the devs specialty is social media and is the first videogame they have ever made. Eh, sounds like it's gonna be a simply made arcade game or sim attempt with all kinds of problems. Just a prediction FWIW.

In regards to using the PYS engine, sure would be nice but I'd be surprised if they even heard of it.

I like it. Enough of monopolies by certain sports games/companies. The more competition the better!
