I'll start with saying that I remember the original RBI baseball. The gameplay in a singleplayer session of RBI 2015 is largely on par with that experience, which is okay. There are a lot of additions I want in the singlepalyer experience, but I it wasn't lacking anything it promised on that front. So if you want a singleplayer experience, it will probably be okay for you. Not too many bugs.

That all being said, I wanted a game with good multiplayer. What I got was a game with TERRIBLE multiplayer support.
- The games frequently don't start
- games crash out with regularity, and can't be resumed
- When pitching; the baserunner icons on the HUD disappear with disturbing regularity (multiple times per game)
- when batting: if the opposing teams pitch hits my batter, but I've started a late swing it counts as a strike. This is bad because the animation only looks like I've lifted my leg, not made any swing motion
- sometimes when fielding the ball, I can't throw it. Play literally will not progress to the next batter until all base runners are sent home
- fielding is terrible. I can't seem to allow the AI to control that in multiplayer, where there is an option in singleplayer.
