R.B.I. Baseball 15 Available Now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

[FBPro]

Is there an auto fielding and option to just bat?

[Twigg4075]

I'm really enjoying this so far. My only real gripe at this point is that all the fielders seem to have rocket arms. So, trying to leg out an infield hit is impossible. I also got gunned at second trying for a double on a ball hit to the gap. It should've been an easy stand up double but, nope. I also don't like that jumps and dives in the field seem to be CPU controlled.

Both of my cousins that said they were going to get it bailed on me so far so I haven't tried online yet. I definitely want to check that out.

Playing on XB1

My very first game and this happens....
http://youtu.be/1fyKXpB3HQE

Really disappointed in the production quality so far. Game has frames where it will be jumpy/jerky when the ball is in play. You would expect for a game that is not graphic intensive to run really smoothly. Then saw the HB Studios logo on next launch and learned they developed the game. Coincidence that neither the golf club or this game is optimized well on the XB1??

Seems like the game was rushed as well. More gameplay tuning needed to be done from what I have seen.
-Outfielders are slow as Christmas from what I have played so far
-I turned static fielding marker on and was standing right in the middle of the circle and my character didn't even try to catch the ball.
-throwing animations sometimes not even playing so the ball just fly's from the player's body
-Had 4 double play opportunities but only converted on 1. The others my second baseman, who was standing over the bag, I guess doesn't know he is suppose to touch the bag before throwing. You have to let the animation play out a little before throwing to first even though he is standing right over the bag. And on one double play, grounder to third, my thirdbaseman threw to second, well my second baseman was standing about five feet off the bag.

I know it's a $20 game and need to temper some expectations, but first impressions weren't good for me. Haven't tried couch 2 player or online yet.

Let me preface this by saying for $20 this a good deal for some of us older gamers who do not have the time to get into a much more strategic game with a higher learning curve. With that being said there definitely some bugs. I was playing a season game and had a ball hit to right field go through the wall. The play never stopped until finally both cpu runners went home. When playing season mode there is no way to change the innings. Its greyed out. There are in game saves though.

Hello everyone. We just created this shiny new account and will be stopping by from time to time to answer questions, give tips on the gameplay, and of course listen to all of your feedback! (as we have been, but now you know for sure that we do)

@TheTruth, very sorry to see that happen in your very first game! We have definitely not seen that issue before, so it should be quite rare. Hopefully the video can help us out - the camera angle is very interesting. I will message you directly for some more info so we can track this down.

@Kayotick, I will message you too about the wall issue you experienced. As for the innings being set to 9 for Season, we were concerned that people could game achievements and unfairly pad their leaderboard stats if we allowed them to play short games in Season mode. We also did not have time this year to account for shortened game lengths in our Season stat simulations. So stats for the players on your team would have been totally out of whack when compared to the rest of the league.

The good news is that on average, a game will take a little under 20 min to play and, as you mentioned, RBI 15 has the option to save your Season progress mid-game. So if you don't have time for a full game, just save and come back later to finish it up!

Hey MLBGames, are y'all planning on a patch for the ps4 for this game. I'm enjoying the game and would love to give some feedback for a patch. Thanks

@mlbgames is there any player movement within the season mode? progression?

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I'm waiting for the Steam version, but I like what I see so far from various Twitch streams. The only thing that concerns me is the lack of a dive/jump button. Seems that would be fundamental.
