Now that we know that the RBI Baseball franchise will be returning for another run, it’s time to look at what new features are expected to be in this year’s title. For years, RBI Baseball has been an alternate option for Xbox and Nintendo console owners who don’t have access to MLB The Show, a Sony-exclusive. But, the franchise has been limited for quite some time, thanks to arcade-like gameplay.
So what will the folks at MLB Games bring for players this go-around? Let’s take a look at some of the new features being advertised for RBI Baseball 21.
