I'm not entirely sure but it hasn't been mentioned. Only promoted as playing against someone on couch like old days.

Baseball Stars 1 is still my favorite baseball game of all time. I loved that game so much.

I'm guessing IGN won't be getting an RBI Baseball exclusive anytime soon.

It would be pretty cool if they eventually made this mode so the characters were more of a comic book style like Ken Griffey.

Hahaha


At this point, literally the only thing RBI Baseball has that The Show doesn't is throwback Montreal Expos jerseys for the Nats.

The Show adds that to the Nats... it's over for them.


FTW

They would make a killing! Man let me see old County Stadium with the O.G Bernie Brewer slide in Center! What else would be awesome would be if you could import edited rosters into retro mode! All the classic years roster sets out there.....we could literally have a true retro mode!

They can't add everything in one cycle, so credit to SDS for doing the 4 we're getting + SunTrust Park, and keeping Turner Field.


The one complaint that I could draw is (and they might've looked into it), and that for a game with Junior, I do feel Kingdome not being in the game this year is a missed opportunity. Especially considering Edgar Martinez as well as Junior are both in the game, the game is slathered in M's colors (MVP Ed.), and the two of them, their best years were in the Kingdome, not Safeco.

Cinergy Field would've also been an interesting add considering there's no doubt going to be a flashback Cincinnati Reds-version Junior.

Agreed with the post above, 100%. It seems odd that Kingdome would not be included with the other retro stadiums they've added, given that this is the Junior edition. Maybe next year, but it seems like this was the year to do it.

The retro stadiums that they put in this game were already models they had made from before. They didn't have to go and create them from scratch like they would have with the ones you guys are asking for.

Plus, they might not have the rights to the Kingdome or Riverfront, etc.
