    Though RBI Baseball was designed as a mobile game first the iOS version appears to be severely troubled. That's not good news for a game that is already perceived to be overpriced at $5. Poor reviews have poured in and a large number of complaints are being seen on social media. Many users are reporting crashing of the game - and though it seems to be at a higher rate with iPads it's also affecting those with iPod touch and iPhones. Some people have not even been able to load into a game ...

    RBI Baseball 14, the resurrection of the 1986-1995 series coming from MLB Advanced Media, has arrived for iOS devices and as a digital download on Xbox 360 and PS3. Though outrageously priced at $20 for consoles and $5 on mobile, considering how thin the game is on content, it hopes to tap into nostalgia and deliver some fun factor as an arcade entry into a market that has become largely devoid of them. RBI Baseball 14 will also be out for Xbox One, PS4, and Android in May or June. Comple...

    RBI Baseball 14 will release as a digital download on PSN for PS3 and XBLA for Xbox 360 on Wednesday. Xbox One, PS4, and Android versions are expected to arrive in May. MLB Advanced Media has treated RBI 14 very much like they would any mobile game by not offering much in the way of details or media prior to release and the lack of it resulted in the complete dissipation of the hype from when it was initially announced in January. As far as the price goes the Xbox 360 and PS3 digital down...

    Given the development time that has gone in to attempting solutions to the issue that is the length of time it takes to play a single baseball game - and marketing which is focusing on it as a major selling point - a segment from the latest Press Row Hangout tackled the topic. The poll posted last week established that consumers do see it as a serious issue that hampers the experienceĀ and limits the sport's reach in video games so it's something that is going to continue to be experimented ...

    It wasn't until last week that MLBAM started talking about its upcoming revival of RBI Baseball and the reaction to the first news and screenshots has been anything but kind. Meanwhile EA Sports has been steadily promoting 2014 FIFA World Cup which hasn't generated the usual level of hype due to the decision not to release on PS4 and Xbox One. The two games were discussed in separate segments of the latest Press Row Hangout. (more…)...

    With both MLB 14: The Show and RBI Baseball 14 making reduced time to complete games a selling point this year a poll was posted earlier in the week to gauge how important that is to consumers interested in baseball. Ā The final tally after collecting votes from over 3K respondents shook out with a near even split which essentially means it is important but the perfect solution either doesn't (and can never) exist or hasn't materialized yet. In total 53% feel that it's important to speed ...
