New Gameplay Today – R.B.I. Baseball 18
Major League Baseball returns to ballparks in just a week, but if you can't wait that long to get your fix, you can get a jump start on season in R.B.I. Baseball 18, available now on Xbox One and PlayStation, and coming in April to Switch, iOS, and Google Play. This is the fifth installment in this annualized series, and it's still looking for its home run, or a triple, or, well, even a single. This series has struggled from the outset and hasn't gotten much better in the years that followed. I scored last year's game a 2 out of 10, stating it was basically a roster update with less content than the previous year's edition.
Developer Major League Baseball Advanced Media is talking a bigger game this year. This includes redesigned stadiums, character models, and the additions of Franchise mode and home run derby. In this New Gameplay Today, we take a look at several of these features and give our early impressions of what players should expect.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
