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

[Gantry]

Yeah it's so cheap I'll buy it on Zorb's on Thursday.  Still not expecting much.  How the heck will you be able to pitch?

[VEGAS]

thanks for sharing the link. GREAT article.

My close, personal friend Will Leitch played RBI Baseball 14 and gives it a thumbs up: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/71246016/rbi-baseball-14-video-game-appeals-to-nostalgia-and-fun

He also links to the Dee-Nee page for St. Louis, which is nice. And calls Dee-Nee.com "one of the Internet's finest achievements" which is OK, I guess.

Also for any XBOX experts out there, when they announce that a game is going to be available for download on a certain day does that mean it is available at midnight on that day? or is there a standard time on that day it becomes available for download?

I have not downloaded much on the XBOX but was wondering if I could expect when it would be available. Sweet Jesus, I feel like a kid on christmas eve 

I'm pretty sure it's midnight Pacific time (since Microsoft is on the west coast).  When I had the Xbox 360 on yesterday evening, there was a countdown for the Titanfall release (officially today), and that's what it was counting down to, although I suppose that could just be for the retail release.  If it is midnight Pacific, then it will come out at 2 AM tomorrow morning for those of us in Central time.

[Gantry]

But it's not available for the Xbox tomorrow, right?  Or just one the one and is for the 360?

[Turd]

It is...tomorrow is xb360, PS3, and iOS.  XB1/PS4/Android is coming later (possibly a month later, from what I hear).

Man, it'd be awesome if it supported something like this:

[Gantry]

Ah gotcha - hopefully the Good Brother still uses his PS3 somewhere and we can play it. 

[Turd]

One of the best micro-beers ever made.  Do you have to come to WI to get it, or do they sell it down in Chi-town?

[Gantry]

The Good Brother has made mutiple runs to Woodman's in Kenosha to get Spotted Cow, pretty sure it still isn't available here.

[hort22]

any news on if we are getting more then one stadium?

how many of you are buying tomorrow?

also spotted cow...what does it taste like?  would like a real response from you fellas instead of a snob on beeradvocate or ratebeer.

[Turd]

It's a farmhouse ale. Light. Crispy. Refreshing. I know very few people who don't like it, including IPA fans to fans of Belgians and wheats. New glarus has some great stuff outside of this as well.

[fathedX]

I'm buying the game tomorrow, most likely on the 360.

I live in something of a craft beer mecca but still wish I could try this cow stuff.  The map on their website says it's only available in WI for the most part.

[Turd]

Another dee née fest Milwaukee ends to happen. You can get all you want. It really is fantastic beer. Easily one of my faves.

[RBI Empire]

any news on if we are getting more then one stadium?

The infield grasses look authentic. The Tigers have the home plate pentagon shaped dirt. I haven't seen enough of the outfield walls to know if those will be stadium specific or not.

I'm going to pick it up for my ipad tomorrow and probably wait until it comes out on PS4 to get a console version. Either that or just get it on PS3 if I get too impatient.

[Turd]

I thought I read there were stadiums. The screenshots at least show the stadium name.

[BeefMaster]

Like the other guys said, it looks from the screenshots like we'll get unique stadiums - it would be especially cool to have unlockable retro stadiums, including the original RBI one, although I doubt that's likely.

I'll be picking it up tomorrow, assuming my Bing Rewards credits can be converted into MS credit by then.

[Turd]

I never thought of that. The original RBI stadium would be great!

[BeefMaster]

I never thought of that. The original RBI stadium would be great!

Were I in charge of this game, the original RBI stadium would also have wallzies.

Another fantastic article:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/rbi-baseball--14-is-here-in-all-its-simple--perfect-glory-193246243.html

Here's the best part:

Which may be sooner than we thought. At the time, Leece said, RBI did not have definitive plans to include a multiplayer system in which you could play a friend online. That changed Tuesday. A source close to the game told Yahoo Sports that RBI '14 plans to offer a multiplayer option available via free download this summer. In addition will come updates with players like Masahiro Tanaka, who isn't in the game because he wasn't on a major league roster at the end of last season.

[RBI Empire]

If you watch the fly ball at the start of that video it shows the outfield wall of Miller Park. It looks like the stadium fences will be the right dimensions too. That's awesome.

[Turd]

I didn't even notice the video! Awesome.  I'd be happy even if the stadiums were represente but not perfect replicas...
