R.B.I. Baseball 15 Review

[RaychelSnr]

Taking classic games and turning them into modern "arcade" titles has been somewhat of a fad the past few years. For the most part -- NBA Jam being the exception -- these efforts have been clear money grabs and the actual games can't measure up to the old efforts if placed side by side.

Unfortunately, R.B.I. Baseball 15 continues that tradition and may be one of the worst sports games of the year.

Ouch. Nice honest review though.

I wish this was posted a few days ago before i bought it. I'm not a fan either. $20 down the drain.

Not questioning your review but one thing that might help out with the fielding is that there is an option for a static ball flight indicator which takes away the adventure of trying to catch fly balls. Not sure if you tried that.

Tried that and it definitely helps (control still isn't tight to me), but you really still run into the game assigning the wrong human controlled player a lot. Really baffling how the game gets stuff like that wrong often.

I felt burned last year after buying that version...played for about 30 minutes and never touched it again hence I had no interest in buying this game this year.

I enjoy it for what it is, but I agree a lot more could be done with it. There is a fun game of baseball in there and it could lean a bit more towards the simulation side in the future if they decide to continue with this game.

Sounds like they need a mega patch!
