The game itself is slight variation on the runner genre--you control a player as they run through the environment, dodging obstacles, collecting coins for points and ...

With both MLB 14: The Show and RBI Baseball 14 making reduced time to complete games a selling point this year a poll was posted earlier in the week to gauge how important that is to consumers interested in baseball. Ă‚Â The final tally after collecting votes from over 3K respondents shook out with a near even split which essentially means it is important but the perfect solution either doesn't (and can never) exist or hasn't materialized yet.

How Important Is Reducing The Time It Takes To Play Baseball Games?
One of the most common gripes with sim baseball video games - and something that many believe prohibits a more mainstream crowd from playing them regularly - is how long each game takes to complete.
