USGamer:
It's been a long time since I last played an RBI Baseball game. Indeed, it's almost 30 years - I played the first one on NES back in the mid to late 80's and haven't touched the series since then. But here I am decades later playing the 2015 version, and funnily enough, this year's edition really reminds me of that original game from all those years ago in terms of its simplicity and immediacy.
IRB Gamer: “Take me out to the ball game but feel free to leave the peanuts and crackerjacks at the concession stand. We’re looking to hit the plate and swing a ball of two out of the park. No it’s not MLB: The Show, but all of your favorite teams are here. Welcome to RBI Baseball 2015."
The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the immense letdown of nostalgia. Sometimes the past should stay in the past, as AUTOMATON's Wesley Armstrong finds out with R.B.I. Baseball 2015.
"I just recently received a code for R.B.I. Baseball 15 on Xbox One. The game is not great, but it definitely deserves better than the current mid 50s score it has on Metacritic. Big sites like IGN and Gamespot have given R.B.I. Baseball 15 a near failing grade, citing that MLB The Show is a much better baseball experience.
Frankly, comments like that get me a bit upset, because a comment like that assumes players have access to a PS4. Some of us don't, and I fall into that camp. It should be mentioned that I'm a casual baseball fan at best; in fact, I watch the highlights on Sports Centre, and cannot be bothered to actually sit through a game. However, I like baseball video games. Let me rephrase that: I like ARCADE baseball video games."
