    The original RBI Baseball has a place in the hearts of many long-time video game players. RBI 95 was a HUGE step forward not many got to play. RBI 14 saved XBOX users from not having an MLB-licensed MLB game at all.

    And this year, I'm just speechless. Amid one of the worst global plagues in history, this small development team put together quite the gem. It's fun to pitch, fun to field, to hit, and you can adjust the game with sliders, finally, to make it play how YOU want it to. Albeit every game comes out with some glitches/bugs, I haven't hit anything that's broken the game for me.

    As a player creator for MLB The Show, this is my favorite feature, by far. Remember, this is its first year doing this, but the clean player models they added in 18/19 are now at our disposal, including several popular hairstyles, tons of face sculpts, facial hair, hair colors, etc. Though some need some tweaking, sending the folks a simple message over Facebook with a request (politely!) goes a LONG way.

    They're taking notes, and they do listen. At $29.99, we now have a baseball game that is showing me that this will be a version to be remembered, for years to come, with lighting and stadium realism like no other game on the market.

    Given the short time this title has been around after its resurrection, they've come a LONG way, and with 165 EDITABLE legends included, you can tweak them to reflect them during the part of their careers that you remember best. Names like Kevin Millar are always great to see, and you won't find just the usual suspects here.

    I can't put the game down once I start, there's online play finally on the Switch version, and the PC version will definitely attract the modding crowd.

    Get a copy, save your Microsoft Rewards. $30 for game of $60 quality, a game that feel like an actual video game, not a pretty simulation with stiff controls, is what the doctored ordered during Spring Training. Back to creating and playing Franchise games with my all-time rosters!

    I know people rave rose-colored glasses for MVP 05. I still have copies of that game, and it played very well. This has a killer soundtrack and it's a new licensed MLB title by MLB themselves for your PC!

    Make your life easy this year. Play the crap outta RBI 21.    … Expand

    The marketing materials for R.B.I. Baseball 21 makes some bold claims that the end product fails to deliver on. While it does carry the full MLB and players union license, it is a lesser representation of the game of baseball than some of its more-arcadey rivals. It touts features of AAA sports games, yet trips over its own cleats when asked to make a clutch play. The lack of online play will make it a non-starter for many and the aggressively bad animations will disqualify it for anyone hoping for a semi-serious game of baseball. This mess could be cleaned up, but players will need to wait for next year’s outing to find out.
