    Interested to read impressions and see more gameplay video. I've got the demo in my 360 queue. Hoping to get a chance to play it after work.

      Excellent gameplay. Really feels like the 8/16 bit games of my childhood. Here's my one complaint

      NO STATS.

      This would be my goto baseball game if it had stats. I love the show but find that every time I play it I wish I still had my all time favorite: Ken Griffey Jr presents MLB. It kept stats during the season on your players. That's all I ask.

      I do feel like I will play with my 6 year old but other than playing with kids I would avoid. Unless stat tracking can be patched in. Then it would be the only game I played.

        Really fun game of baseball. Reminds me of the old RBI game which is what I wanted. Controls are easy and the games are pretty fast but do allow you to use strategy in them. I've pulled off a few hit and runs to perfection.

        First game I was the Red Sox and beat the Yankees 6-4.

        Highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of retro games.

        Lack of season stats doesn't bother me as the original didn't have it anyway. If you are expecting the original RBI you will enjoy this. If you are expecting The Show, probably not your type of game.

          I think we must agree to disagree about stats. Stats is baseball. Period. I'm not expecting Sabremetrics here. Just give me W/L/Era/K for pitchers and BA/HR/RBI/SB for hitters. That's it. I realize that the original did not have it but if you are playing a season the numbers matter. I don't care about league leaders. Just my team. Then the game would be a 10/10 all day. Love the gameplay. It's PERFECT. I just feel like I woke up on Christmas morning to an empty tree.

            I can understand that. I will say that the fielding graphics remind me of Griffey.

              Everything reminds me of that masterpiece of a game. I was sounding like a 10 year old all over again talking to my wife about this game last night. She just didn't understand.....

                Here are the settings and controls.

                (You can change fielding controls to Assisted, Ball Height Indicator to Off)

                You can't manually dive, it seems to be automatic, if it needs to happen. Playing the outfield will take some time to get used to.

                  Can't hit the cutoff man, it seems. (I realize this is RBI, but still...)

                      This reminds me of the game of my youth, which was hours and hours of fun.

                      Just couldn't recall the advance base runner control buttons, but thanks to Steve, I know it now.

                      It's all I could ask for since I last played this game.

                      Played vs the Cards and there was a arch in the outfield.

                      I said this in another thread yesterday, stats weren't in the game then, didn't expect them now. Yes, they are important to baseball, but when you only have 1 reliever, 4 starters and 16 players, stats aren't that important to me with a game from the early 90's.

                      To each their own on stats. If they add them later down the line, great.

                        Can you guys find out what the difference will be on the PS4 version compared to PS3? Thanks Blitz

                          Did the spitball make the return? I think you held C while pitching back on the genesis. Try holding b while pressing pitch.

                            Maybe next years version. The gameplay is beyond exceptional. Quick question.

                            I noticed one of the achievements is throw a runner out at home with a Fast Throw from outfield. What is a Fast Throw?

                              I mean the thing is... this thing is called RBI Baseball. How can it not have RBI's?

                              I know the original didn't either, and I'd probably ask the same question then as well. If it was harder to make happen back then, that's one thing. But now? That's like rebooting the NBA Inside Drive series and removing layups and dunks from it.

                              I understand that nothing here was "removed" per se, but it certainly is weird.
