There are volume sliders for Music, Sound FX, and Voice (umpire). Set the slider to 0% and it will be turned off.

Does RBI have Legends in the game? I would surely buy this if I could play with Legends of the game in season mode!

Three questions:

1. Can you use a pinch runner or defensive replacement somewhere and I am just missing it? Or is that not available in the game?

2. How do you throw a drop ball that hits the dirt? I select the slow pitch and try to press down right after I pitch it and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Is it only for certain pitchers?

3. How exactly do I influence a flyball or a ground ball? When I press down on the left thumbstick when I'm swinging it moves my guy back in the box. Am I doing it correctly?

It is not available. We worked on these two features, but they were having some issues late in development and we had to make the tough decision to pull them out rather than include them half-working. This is very much on our radar.

Hold UP while you start your pitch to throw a slow pitch. Slow pitches have a chance to drop in the dirt based on each individual pitcher's Drop rating (derived from the amount of sink on their pitches in real life).

Sounds like you are doing it correctly. Hold DOWN while swinging to influence a fly ball. Hold UP while swinging to influence a grounder. The better your swing timing, the more likely you are to get the desired result. The interplay between moving around the box and influencing your hit goes back to the earliest days of RBI and other games of that era.

Just bought the game on Xbox One. Played one game and had some fun with it. I like it.

Pretty big issue with baserunning that can hopefully be patched. I had an issue a few times in this game. Especially with 2 outs because the runners are going no matter what.

We'll say Ortiz is on third running and Victorino is behind him on second.

Ball to the gap, Ortiz will score but he's a pig, Vic gets to third before Ortiz touches home, well, Victorino can't run home, he stands on third until Ortiz touches the plate. THen he'll run home.

That cost me at least 2 runs in the game. Hopefully that can get fixed with a patch.

No couple with with baseball loaded or 2nd and 3rd , 2 outs and a fly ball or what have you. That runner on 2nd can't keep running home, he has to wait.

FUn game though. Not bashing, just hoping to address a pretty major issue.

Edit:

Also, this just happened. Not sure about the fielder you control. Had this happen a handful of times too. Not sure why on earth it would have me control the short stop there. Once again, no complaining, just hoping to address a few things that could be fixed with a patch.

Thank you for the answers! It's a great game, I can't put it down. I look forward to see what this series becomes!

Thanks for the feedback shogun!

We will look at the baserunning issue you mentioned.

And thank you for the video. If you scrub to the 2 second mark. Note the location/trajectory of the ball. And the location of the middle infielders. You can see that at this point the SS is actually closer to the ball's path. So that is why the AI selected him as the best fielder. That is not to say that he SHOULD have been chosen as the best fielder. But that is why it happens.

We appreciate your frustration with this type of play and hope that we can improve this logic.
