R.B.I Baseball 18 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
RBI Baseball 18 adds significant new content to what was a fairly shallow game in the form of that franchise mode as well as a home run derby, but it still remains a simple game, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If it were a more polished experience it would be easy to recommend to Switch-owning baseball fans, but as it is it doesn’t really feel finished. If you can get past the mostly minor issues, though, it’s an enjoyable arcade baseball game.
Sadly, RBI Baseball 18, while ahead of last year's edition, is still obviously hampered by porting the mobile version to consoles and charging 300% more. It's not worth your time or your money, unless you're really hard up for a Switch baseball game. If you have access to any other console, play something there instead. Keep an eye on RBI Baseball as a series though, as they're making strides. It's got a long way to go, but they're clearly trying to make a great game.
Poor ol’, R.B.I. Baseball 18. You can’t help but feel sorry for this arcade-inspired adaptation of the Great American Pastime™, which is published and developed by Major League Baseball itself. Primarily designed to ensure there’s an MLB presence on multiple platforms, the PlayStation 4 edition is routinely forced to sit in the shadow of Sony’s own The Show series – and this instalment doesn’t exactly turn the tables.
I’m a huge Baseball fan. I enjoy playing the game, going to games, watching them on TV, and even listening to them on the radio. However, I’ve never really
R.B.I. Baseball 18 returns with fun, high-octane baseball action, featuring a suite of new game enhancements including Franchise and Home Run Derby modes, as well as historic players.
Well, R.B.I. Baseball 18 is better than Tecmo Bowl Throwback, but it presents the same kind of reminder. Next year, R.B.I. Baseball 19 will really need to buckle down on offering fast-paced gameplay that’s a little more interesting to watch.
