R.B.I. Baseball 2018 is the newest installment in MLBAM's revival of an old classic baseball game series and the first to be developed solely by MLBAM.

Whilst the game releases on the 20th of this month, that is only for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions; unfortunately there will be a slight lag for the other platforms. The iOS version will release the following week whilst the Android and Nintendo Switch versions will have only been given a spring 2018 window.

Personally I do not play sports games as they don't hold my attention, and as for baseball in particular,
I just don't see much fun in it unless you are an avid fan of the sport. As for other baseball game series, they don't manage to stay strong and are instead short-lived; maybe this title will withstand the test of time.
