It is on PC Y4L.  You can buy in on Steam on the 29th.  $19.99

Are you sure it's out on PC on the 29th? The announcement only says "console versions" and I don't see it listed on the upcoming releases on Steam's website.

Lol we've had this discussion before.. I thought RBI looked really cool when I watched it on Twitch.. it's arcadey, fast paced, multiplayer.. the feel was like SNES baseball. In a good way, I must say. 20 bucks is a good price even for my cheap ass.

Its $20 for the same game from last year and the year before. They haven't bothered to fix the clunky swing animation and $20 for a roster update is outrageous. If MLB media really wanted to do the right thing they would have just updated the first games rosters. This is like instead of getting MVP baseball we got 3 straight years of triple play 2001. Not saying triple play is a bad game, but what's the point in buying the same game every year with no improvements?

 They have announced improvements including online play.  I think it's a bit early to say it's the same game.  Besides not everyone cares for the show.  Besides a game doesn't have to look like the real thing in order to be a sim.  Just take a look at the Power Pro games they release in Japan, based on the PYS series but with cartoon looking characters yet it plays very sim

More Details

This game was probably done with a team of about less than 20 people, especially since they're using the Unity engine to make it instead of a custom engine like most sports games.

Also, that wonky swing animation is a staple of the RBI games, lol
