I know, I wonder what's up. Maybe since this isn't a normal video game dev team, we won't get the usual type of news. I doubt they would just release the game without some type of news.

I wouldn't worry about that. This is being developed inhouse by MLB so I expect a big media push to get the word out.

Not sure what the hold-up is, but I really do think we'll hear something soon. Especially now that spring training is nearly in full swing.

I agree, I'm actually pretty excited. mlb advanced media does an amazing job with the mlb.tv product, and even though that's not a video game, it seems like they have a sense of how to do things right. I'm a big fan of them ever since they introduced audio overlay for mlb.tv.

Yeah their really the leader in this and I just cant see them not using all the tech at their hands and this alone is why I dont see them just releasing a Bigs type game alone as they really promote their brand well and from what I read down the road they just wanna profit off their own brand and cut out any middle men or other game companies and all the profits are theirs and thats why they created their own video game company with all MLB teams as the owners .

That's a very big reason why I think it will be closer to a simulation. Personally, I think they're just using "RBI" as the title, but I don't think it'll play anything like the original. I was to young to play RBI.

I loved the original and it was very sim.
Yes, it had cartoon sounds, but people forget that during that era there were very few pure sim sports games. Every sports game was arcady to a degree.
But RBI was the first to have real players and varying attributes making each player and pitcher feel differently.

I'm hoping they can recapture how much fun that game was while still providing enough sim qualities for the hardcore gamer.

It was really fun and pretty realistic for the day and one of the first games with real players but being that its 2014 and just a name they chose from the past so at least it wasnt triple play baseball . now that was rough in the final years

Oh my yes, I remember those last days of triple play! Being visually impaired, my best friend jokes that any game looks awesome to me! lol, as I've said many times, sound is huge for me in baseball games. I'll be very interested to see who they choose as the play-by-play. man!
