R.B.I. Baseball 14 Announced For Current and Next-Gen Consoles, Mobile Devices Too

09:36 PM - January 14, 2014 by woz411

Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) has announced R.B.I. Baseball 14 for current and next-gen consoles, as well as mobile devices, arriving this Spring.

With 2K Sports confirming no baseball game, it didn't look good for Xbox 360 and Xbox One fans, but it now looks like we will see a baseball game for Microsoft gamers after all.

Time will tell what kind of game this really is, but in the meantime you can keep track of the game on Twitter, Facebook and their official website.

I bet that the fact this is being made by MLBAM, and not a true game dev team is the reason for lack of news. With every single product they put out, you don't hear a word until basicly the day of its release. Not sure if they realize this isn't the way its done with video games.

Well, i'm sure the guys at OS and all of the others are beating their ears off for exclusive info on this game. They have to realize we all want info...

I just checked this thread for the first time in about 3 weeks and was shocked there's still no news. I just decided to preorder The Show onVita and take advantage of the preorder bonus. If RBI ends up being good, I may buy it mid season.

Beating their ears off....?

Is that an actual expression, or did you just accidentally reveal a little too much about your self there?

It just shows how much we love the game of baseball. Before my best friend knew me, he didn't know much about baseball, and he thought it was boring. I finally convinced him that its a special sport on one summers night a couple years ago. He sat down to watch his first ever game with me, it was a Giants Astros game. I told him, "the beauty of baseball is that on any given night, you can see something special, maybe even a perfect game. And wouldn't you know, the person who didn't like baseball, sat for 3 hours eyes fixed on the screen, as Cane made baseball history with a perfect game.

Very off topic (but it's not like we have a lot to talk about in this forum currently, haha):

I grew up playing ball and loving the sport. TWIB was my favorite TV show.
But when I turned 12 I lost that love and flipped over to hockey.
I think the biggest reason I stopped enjoying baseball was poor coaching. My travel coaches were extremely nice guys. They never raised their voices or got ticked off over wins and losses. But they also didn't teach us anything.
Every one of our practices was 'one kid hit, the others field'. When we all got a turn hitting, the practice was over.
We didn't work on stealing, grounders, double-plays, relays, etc, etc. We didn't even hit off a Tee.
And our team stunk. We had a second basemen that couldn't catch flies with a bag of poop.
It got to be too much, so I quit and never really gave baseball another thought.

Then I got older and had kids. Soon they were bouncing around the ball diamonds and now my love for the sport has eclipsed what it once was.
I can't get enough.
Like you said, to the untrained eye, baseball appears boring. But if you watch and learn the intricacies, it becomes a game of poetry.
Watching a SS snag a ground ball that seemed out of reach, spin, turn and fire to 1B for an out - all while making it look routine - is a thing of beauty.
So much to love about the game.

My wife, who never played ball or even went to ball games, is now an addict too. She'll sit and watch full games with me and could go to Comerica for all 81 games if we could afford it.

We both live for Opening Day.

Many times when I sit down to watch a game, I wish I could see exactly what everyone else can. Being visually impaired makes that impossible, but that's another reason why baseball is so awesome, you don't have to see it to get the picture. I like to say that baseball is the one game you can see on radio. I started listening to the Yanks when I was 6 in 96, and haven't missed a game to date. These days though, it's a lot different. Back then, I always used my good old pocket radio, now I can use mlb.tv and watch the game with sinced radio on a roku or ps app.

# 294 aguero90 @ 03/05/14 11:45 AM

Well, I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get info on this game. We no next to nothing about it, I mean we don't even know who the play-by-play broadcaster is!

# 295 ODogg @ 03/05/14 12:26 PM

I hope they don't go the realistic player graphics look because MLB the show will just kill them at that...they should do like the original graphics with a cartoon like exaggerated look but with fun, realistic play...you know, like the old RBI games.

What do you guys think? Agree with me?

I don't think it's going to go the cartoonish route. From a video that was posted a while back they were taking facial/head scans of Alfonso Soriano so I'd expect graphically they'll go with a realistic look.

I can't say I'd want them to go with the original style graphics but I'm really not that concerned with graphics as long as it plays a good game of baseball.

# 298 DeerSteak @ 03/05/14 12:42 PM

I'm with you on the cartoon graphics thing. A solid arcade baseball game like RBI gone by (or Bases Loaded or Baseball Stars 2 on the Neo Geo) would be a blast. Trying to make a sim that competes with The Show is a guaranteed skip for me.

No , First I think the shows player Models are old and tired looking after 4 years of the same build and sadly they will now look like a PS3 port to the PS4 but now in hi def though to me they look weird especially with ps4 hair and ps3 bodies , not a good morph as SCEA should have started with all new player models on the ps4 to max its full potential .

I hope RBI plays semi sim BUT fun is the key you know something that makes you wanna play more and not turn off the console in disgust like you not even part of the game at key moments .

I totally agree. I hope it looks/plays like the RBI games from when I was a kid. I only have time for one baseball sim, which will be The Show, but if RBI is a fun pick up and play game, I'll get it.
