I know how you feel, joedogg! I didn't necessarily have any "expectations" for this game. Didn't know what the heck to expect, but I certainly HOPED for a "real" baseball game. I already told myself if this was a "real" game, I was going to get it no matter how good/bad. But as everyone suspected, it turns out to be a very cool reboot of an old NES game. Unfortunately, that's just not going to satisfy my baseball needs this year.

(by "real", I mean something close to 2k or the show. You guys know what I mean!)

Then buy MLB The Show, this is a retro game and part of a retro title is to capture what made the original series unique. And a big part of RBI was the simplistic graphics and simplistic play backed by a fantastic stats engine.

Let's face it, if they had went the super realistic, scan-all-the-players route, etc then everyone would have just screamed it was a crappier version of MLB The Show that was trying to trick people into buying by using an old school NES name.

It'd have been a massive failure and rightfully so...they made the right call on this..

Not to sound like a dick but they made the choice when next gen came out to go the XBone route. It was pretty clear leading up to November last year that the show would be the only game of baseball in town. That is what made me get a PS4 over the XBone.

When they say season mode, is it really just one season? Or multiple like a traditional franchise?

I don't know....but with less than 25 man rosters....I can't see how it could be much more than a one and done.
(Maybe with no injuries or trading and retiring)
Unless they plan on expanding it.

Ah, nvm, I didn't read the roster part. I think I still might try this out.

16 man rosters. I love not having to worry about 100 players in my system. I think the Show had the perfect number at 40 though.

Wow. I thought the graphics were great.
