    Sometimes you just can't go back. I really wanted to! Nostalgia kicked in, I paid my $20, played a few innings, and promptly turned it off. I should have downloaded the demo first. You'd be wise to too.

    I bought this game on Xbox One having good intentions going into it. Those intentions quickly got show down after the first game I played. There are many problems with this game. The first problem I have with the game is the batting. You can't control the power of your swing so every batter swings the same, which isn't realistic.

There are many problems with this game. The first problem I have with the game is the batting. You can't control the power of your swing so every batter swings the same, which isn't realistic. Another problem I have with the batting is how you have to move the batter to try and hit the pitcher's pitch. I don't know about everyone else but I don't see batter's move that much in the MLB. The second problem that I have is the pitching. You have 4 pitchers to choose from for each team. You have 3 starters and 1 relieving pitcher with apparently is supposed to double as a closer. Every pitcher has the same pitches too, a Fastball, a Curveball to the right, a Curveball to the left, and a very unrealistic Knuckleball. You can't really develop a defensive strategy with only 4 pitches and terrible fielders. The last problem I have, and the one I hate the most, is the umpires. They make terrible calls and they are broken. They call runners safe when clearly the fielder has the ball and is tagging the runner. Also, they called a fair ball when it really was a foul on multiple occasions. These terrible umpires need to be fixed to even make this game even remotely okay. In my opinion I do not recommend this game this game to anyone. If you want a baseball game you might as well stick with the 2K series on the Xbox 360 or play The Show for Playstation 4. The only reason I'm giving this game a 1 is because it's the only baseball game on Xbox One.… Expand

    After last year's abysmal MLB 2K13, a new contender seemed like a breath of fresh air, but R.B.I. Baseball 14 is a poor alternative. [July 2014, p.82]

    R.B.I. Baseball 14 is one of the most baffling new releases I’ve come across. The visuals are somewhat modern, and the rosters are current, but everything that happens after the pitch is thrown harks back to the ‘80s – a time when developers were just starting to figure out how to make baseball games.

    How you enjoy R.B.I. Baseball 14 depends on your love for the original game. This remake does play just like it, and its modes are good fun as long as you bring a fellow player along for the ride. However, modern gamers expect more from their games, even if its an homage to a classic. With no online support and no adjustable difficulty options, R.B.I. could have benefited from more of an update.
