RBI Baseball Returning for Another Year

Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs is being called the "cover athlete" for the digital-only game wh...

Assuming the individual's speeds (primarily the upload) is fast enough Share Play offers the ability to not just play with or against a friend but also pass them the controller to play on their own. In some cases the result has even proven to be better than the actual online service for the game. Super Mega Baseball does not offer online play and...
