BREAKING... (The official RBI '14 Thread)

[Turd]

Was just about to write and ask if anyone bought it. I wonder if it's another bench player or you have to insert him into the lineup or what.

also, no robin Yount? Suck.

When the eff is this coming out for ps4? I need a real controller!

[VEGAS]

glitch/problem has been resolved.
Jim Rice just belted two HRs for me today and Bob Stanley (What, no Schraldi?) closed out the game.

Has anyone had success downloading the "alumni pack"? I tried yesterday on my ipad and had the same issues this article talked about (i.e. a "Buy" button that does nothing).

See ya, crappy Ryan Ludwick! Hello Eric Davis of 1987! And fellow MLB Alumni pitcher Tom Browning has been great in middle relief. I'm just 12-16 in my 52 game Reds season on my iPad but am smacking dingers (3-5 per game lately). Even with that, it appears they upgraded the Brewers with the latest update. Played a game with my Reds and hit 6 homers but lost 14-9 as the Brew Crew had 25 hits! Damn! The game actually froze at final scoreboard and did not count! I won the replay 4-2.

$20?

I'll consider it for PS4, any other PS4 peeps here?

[Turd]

I'll get it as well...

FYI Turd, I'm not sure is the answer to your question via text last night, I was in the midst of some grueling FIFA online pro matches and didn't notice your question until after the fact.

It was $20 on 360/PS3 as well.  Also, note that there's no online play, although the word is that they're "hoping" to add it into a patch this summer.  No idea when to expect that, though - consoles still haven't got the roster update that iOS got a week or two ago, and it seems pretty ridiculous to wait until the baseball season is more than half over to deliver something like that.

Me no like.

Online multiplayer and X360/PS3 roster update confirmed for "mid-July to late July".  They also originally claimed that the game would be out on PS4 and Xbox One in May, so take that with as big a grain of salt as necessary.  I'm kinda pissed it's taking until the end of July to update rosters that were out of date a week before the season started, but I guess we'll take what we can get.

Also, it was kind of implied in the article that the Alumni Pack will be included in the console update rather than being DLC, although it's not 100% clear.

[Turd]

Never been a fan of mixing players from different years, so the alumni pack isn't for me unless it's full rosters...

[BeefMaster]

Just got confirmation on Twitter that the Alumni Pack is paid DLC, not included in the roster update.

[Turd]

You guys playing any modified rules? I've always been a 1SP per game kind of guy, but wirh only one reliever, that's kind of tough.

What about something like "starter has to pitch 6 innings or more"

[Turd]

I like making pitching something you have to think about.

[BeefMaster]

I play very little multiplayer, pretty much just with my son, and I haven't come up with any modified rules against the CPU.  I generally do try to leave my starter in as long as I'm in the lead, particularly now that I've gotten the back-to-back shutouts for the Twins' alternate jersey.

[Turd]

Gonna be had to get that brewers one.

[BeefMaster]

I've only got three games left in my season with the Twins, and after I finish the playoffs I'll be making attempts to get some more retro jerseys unlocked.  I think the easiest will be the "two homers in one inning" and "two homers with one player" ones, with the "8 Ks in 5 IP" ones up there as well (since you can just refuse to record outs if guys put the ball in play).

Made it to the playoffs and played my first game, but it didn't give me the "Make it to the postseason" achievement for some reason, which I find annoying.  Currently have a 1-0 lead over the Wild Card Blue Jays in the ALDS, so I'm ten wins from going for more retro jerseys.

I was able to get in a couple games against my son this weekend for my first RBI action in a while. He was the Tigers and I was the Giants. I beat him pretty good the first game. 12-1 in 8 innings. Second game he took the lead in the top of the 9th. I was up 4-1 and he rallied to go up 5-4. I loaded the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th and Kung-Fu Panda ripped on oppo single to walk off 6-5.

The time is going to come when the boy finally beats me. Luckily it wasn't this weekend.

[BeefMaster]

I've lost to my son once already.  I tend to take it fairly easy on him - I keep the pitches in the zone and don't change speeds very often ("slurve" style, in original RBI parlance, for the most part).  He was using the AL against the Astros, and I managed to give up a walk-off grand slam to Miguel Cabrera with two outs in the bottom of the 9th - I did groove the pitch for him, but he still had to hit it.
