RBI 2

[bedrsn]

we were blessed with more teams. the players lost weight and started looking gay. the gameplay suffered but the music rocked. discuss this game please.

the ability to dive and jump while fielding was a huge improvement.  i also liked seeing how far the home runs went.  rbi 3 was pretty good too.  everything was the same as rbi 2, except there were updated rosters and the pennant teams dating back to 1983, which was key.  the '83 white sox were the shit.  that was the year ron kittle won the rookie of the year award and you can't forget their leadoff batter.  i have no idea who the hell he is, but his name is parsons, he batted .200 with 0 home runs and he is one of the fastest players in the game.  you won't believe the number of inside the park homers you can hit with him

I could never get into RBI 2, those skinny batters didn't do it for me.  Diving and jumping were an improvement, but the hitting style just lost something.  I think Baseball Stars took the basic concepts of RBI and expanded them in a much better way than RBI2...

And those Instant Replays were obnoxious...

F RBI 2.
F Fred.

Baseball stars has got to be the next best baseball game for the NES.  With the Salary's, earning money with wins, climbing the wall, you can't go wrong, the only problem is the rosters, if they were major league rosters it would be a solid game.  

As for RBI 2 and 3, Tengen must have celebrated too much after the release of RBI, cause it just went downhill from there.

I agree about the instant replays

I think it's disrespectful to Gantry to post anything about RBI 2 on this exceptional forum devoted to the world's best game

RBI II IS STRAIGHT POO...  WHAT AN ENORMOUS LET DOWN...JUST LIKE IN MOVIES,  THE SEQUELS NEVER LIVE UP TO THE ORIGINALS...   LONG LIVE rbi 1!  

[RBIwut]

It was fun but mild simulation fun...

2 & 3 were cool because I'm a Jays fan & they owned both games 

But the gameplay scuked.


& don't even get me started on Super RBI Baseball for SNES

Impressively ancient bump, RBIwut.

I always liked RBI 2 and (especially) 3, but I am in a very small minority here.

[Brookensrules!]

Terrible game.  I don't care what features they add (dive) it is horrible.  I would rather play Bases Loaded then this piece of crap.  It is shameful to have the RBI name in the title. 

[BeefMaster]

You'd rather play Bases Loaded?!  Take that back!  TAKE IT BACK, DAMMIT!

RBI 2  was a big step up from the original, I liked that there were all the teams & bigger rosters & there's the home run distances and the dives & the cleaner more crisp look to the game.  But I still like the original the best, just something about it.  RBI 3 is alot better than 2, all the past division winning teams are fun to use, the graphics are worse but pretty much the same. And the 1984 Cubs are probably the best team in the whole game. Hidden home run power by just about every one, even the zero homer guys, I've hit 450-footers with Billy Hatcher (.111 Avg, 0 hr) before.

RBI 2 still is pretty solid though.

[TempoGL]

once again, metal king disappoints me

[ultimate7]

I liked the instant replay

You're not a Canadian, are you?

Most of the players in that game have ratings directly based on their stats (for example, the top HR guy in the league gets 945 power, and it goes down from there, I think), but there must've been a Cubs fan doing some of the ratings work, because they have high-power guys throughout the lineup.

Bases Loaded was truely horrible wasn't it?  Good lord was it tough to time the hitting.  The only thing I liked about it was when you strike out you here a voice saying, "you bum"

[BeefMaster]

The pitching/hitting was the only good part of the original Bases Loaded (other than the fact that you could get guys to charge the mound).  The fielding was absolutely horrific - everyone moved like they were on skates, balls didn't seem to fall at the right speed - making fly balls really hard to judge - and bounced off the field like they were made of rubber, and they switched the B and A buttons from every other baseball game in existence.

Bases Loaded 3 was fairly enjoyable, however, and endorsed by Ryne Sandberg.  While the lack of season mode was disappointing, it was one of the few sports games that you could actually "beat" - you were judged on how well you played the game (avoiding errors, pickoffs, etc.), and the goal was to play a perfect game and win against an opponent on the highest difficulty level.
