Looks like my wish for alternate uni's has come true. That's cool.

When a game successfully hits the mark 8 years in a row, you tend to trust things a bit more.

I didn't actually have any real expectations for this game and I'm frankly shocked at the level of statistical realism they are even talking about with it.

However, I wish they had done things differently if they had this idea. Approach 2K or EA or some other actual developer and offer a good deal for the MLB licensing and work with them. Have them handle the presentation and MLBAM can provide the data and how to apply it. Even if it wasn't released until next year.

It's just thinking about the potential application of what they can do (especially seeing the new tech they have to analyze plays, it's incredible) that leaves me a bit let down. I'd almost have preferred a simple arcadey port of a mobile game without the tease.

It's still subjective. Not everyone considers that game perfect.

And can we just talk about RBI Baseball in the RBI Baseball forum?

There are times it seems like no matter what pitcher you have, or what pitch you throw, certain guys are going to hit off of you no matter what. I played the same game (MLB13) against the Yanks, 4x in a row, and in each one, Ellsbury got a hit in his first AB regardless of who I had on the mound. But my biggest gripe against The Show is that the pitcher-hitter dynamic has gotten extremely stale. After using 2K's analog pitching and having Hitters Eye, I found MLB to be really boring. I'm well aware of 2K's shortcomings, but for my money, no other ball game has captured the fun and intensity of the pitcher-hitter dynamic like it did. The game was just flat-out fun. That's why I'm hoping RBI has something similar. It doesn't have to be perfect, or as pretty as the other games out there. I just hope it's more sim than arcade and that it's fun. But if not, I'll go back to 2K13.

Really?
NOW guys gotta leave out talk of other games
???

Same troll every time. Just ignore him and he will go away.

I wonder how much editing we can do?
Reading about some classic teams has me thinking that editing some historical teams would be nice.
