Yeah, I just saw a post regarding that. Hopefully that is that case and maybe it will coincide with a sale. I'd be willing to pay $10 and just be happy playing online games. I probably wouldn't even bother with a season without stats.

Does RBI still have full manual fielding ?

Big problem I have with the Show is the semi-automated fielding and cpu overriding your control inputs.

There is an assist option, but even the standard still does the diving for you. I still like it.

That isn't the direction the company took.

I read your post. I was being facetious. If you played it you should know its not the original game. "That isn't the direction the company took." No kidding, Caption obvious. Can people be critical of the game or is it your job to remind everyone its their own fault for expecting something logical? < That's rhetorical.

The modes we have right now are in line with the expectation of R.B.I. It's very important for us to make sure that the gameplay experience stays true to the core of the entire era and the genre," said Leece, when asked about the basic setup. It's possible that future games in the series from MLB Advanced Media could offer an expanded feature set. But "for this version," Leece continued, "we specifically wanted to focus on making sure that we nailed that right. Adding window dressing, and enhanced features and modes, may have gotten in the way of us getting the core experience right." http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/12/549...ple-fast-paced

Im calling shenanigans on those statements. Typical spin doctor type statements from a company. The idea that they were worried a out nailing gameplay before adding stats in a sport that is heavily stat based in ridiculous. If they wanted to nail the style of that era, they'd have started with similar styled graphics of that era in the first place. Sounds more like they are spinning this because its a rushed game and they wanted to test the waters first with a cheap production before sinking money into the game.

A fun game definitely a nice throwback to easier game play days. Don't really care about stats but online play would take this over the top and make it more worth the $20 price point. Heard there's a possibility of multiplayer being added later would make this something I play constantly.

I played the demo about 20 seconds today, and quite frankly I couldn't believe this was released in the year 2014.

Glad I still have 2k12....... Ohh God, what has happened to my baseball gaming life?

Well at least you gave it a chance.
