    With SCEA having expanded upon the announced features for MLB 15: The Show with a complete list, and having hosted the first live stream for the game, a poll was posted last week to gauge levels of interest in the improvements and additions that have been detailed to date.

    RBI Baseball 14 was inarguably the worst sports game released last year. Essentially a mobile game ported to the PS4 and Xbox One it was overpriced, lacked necessary features like stat tracking, and even post-release support promises like the addition of online play were never fulfilled. The game was greeted by horrific reviews and shunned by consumers. Today MLBAM announced RBI Baseball 15. Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs is being called the "cover athlete" for the digital-only game wh...

The fact sheet includes more details on previously announced features and various improvements for the game. That includes licensed equipment, save migratio...

    Despite its popularity among a hardcore group of fans the management game Out of the Park Baseball - which has been a mainstay on PC and in recent years expanded to mobile - has struggled to break out sales wise beyond that dedicated and passionate group. One reason for that could be chalked up to a lack of Major League Baseball licensing. While real player names could be used (similar to how fantasy baseball services can utilize them without a cost involved) there was no MLB branding, te...
