R.B.I. Baseball 21 for Negative User Reviews

✓ Opening Day is tomorrow, base throwing glitchAll the improvements to the game are all good. The only concern is the classic assisted fielding control bast throwing glitch. Tomorrow is opening day, I’m getting my rosters set up and I want to start my season. UPDATE: still cannot throw to bases (or steal) on classic fielding/base running. The patch fixes the ability to throw to the cutoff man but cannot throw after that. Now I cannot update my franchise rosters from the April 30 roster update..Marc ElusiveVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Knuckleballs?Since when does every MLB pitcher throw a knuckleball. That ridiculous pitch that every pitcher throws ruins the experience. Change-up? Sure. But a pitch that drops dead a foot in front of the plate? C’mon..Tom SchimmerVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Imagine being able to throw to a base in a baseball gameGame works ok? Few crashes here and there. Guess it’s part of the process. But then the fielding comes along. For some reason, the fielder has no intent on throwing the ball to a base, even with some furious taps to the button. Means you can’t do grounders or throwing ahead of the runners. Absolutely game breaking. Maybe that’s why the devs did not decide to give a tutorial on how to throw a ball to a bag. Not recommended unless this is fixed. Period. I mean can you imagine an MLB game where the infielders just hold onto the ball every time they get the ball? Update: despite the update you still cannot make a groundout to save your life. Also more buggy stuff.Hoanghell123Version: 1.0.1

✓ I’ve played 8 games, my record is 4-0I thought I would like a few of the new features in this year’s version of RBI and they are OK. They even fixed an issue I’d had with multiple previous version where my players would invariably be thrown out trying to steal huge I’d throw out 1 in 500 of the CPU’s runners. But a far worse bug is going to have me setting aside the game for awhile It’s supposed to be a 10-season “franchise” game wherein you record wins, losses and stats. In RB21, I’ve physically played 8 games but only the results of half have been recorded. This defeats the purpose of building a roster and figuring out lineups, etc. just reduces it to a series of exhibitions if you can’t experience long term success or failure. This isn’t a new product. I know they made a few major changes but I wouldn’t think recording results and stats would be affected. Only 6.99 true. But you wouldn’t throw seven dollar bills out the window either. Not worth buying at this point..Dtrain3443Version: 1.0.2

✓ CrashesThis game has the potential to be really good and i do generally enjoy the game, bugs aside, when i’m actually able to play it. This game crashes all the time and that is my absolute main problem with it. This game crashed 3 times in a single game the other day. For a game that’s this much i would expect less problems, better communication from the developers than just handing out a support email under every negative review and more updates to fix the problems that are effecting not just my experience but so many others..Themesteriousface!Version: 1.0.1

✓ Crash all the timeBruh.ChenqnmwselrVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Sucks.This is one of the worst baseball games I have ever played. The graphics are not that good, the game keeps glitching on my phone. Or sucks.HdoajdiixjdVersion: 1.0.1

✓ ThrowingGame is great and fun but I can’t throw the ball to a damn base.ZacksteinmanVersion: 1.0.0

✓ CrashingThe game is great. Definitely would be worth the $7 I paid for it if it didn’t crash. Like I said, great game, great potential. Just fix the bugs and the constant crashing. **Edit** I’ve played this for a few days since I wrote the review. I hit a home run in the World Series and the stupid game crashed and didn’t count it. I change my review from a 2 to a 1. Fix the game. Too much potential to ignore the problem. Fix. The. Crashing. And. Glitching..JKMHEDKK071834Version: 1.0.1

✓ Not very funThe game as a whole is just very boring. Games are just 8 innings of 3 up 3 down offense and then one inning you will hit a couple Home runs and that’s about it. The opponent doesn’t ever do anything offensively and even if you hit the ball 15 feet away from a player, it’ll still magically end up in their glove. Neither pitchers nor first basemen will cover the base on a ground ball hit towards first so it always ends up being a hit. There are definitely better baseball games that are free..BigbadbruinsVersion: 1.0.6

✓ GlitchyThis game is crap. It’s unfortunate because it has the potential to be great but there are way to many bugs. First off, the batting even in easy mode is hard and even hard hits are still singles. The timing is tight on 6/10 swings and they all end up pop ups. Secondly, pitching is bad also. How is it a fastball up is almost always hit for a home run? It’s unrealistic. The worst part of the game is fielding. The ball can be in right field but the left fielder will make the catch, that excessive but I’m sure all those who’ve played understand it’s completely terrible, that goes for all fielding aspects. Waste of money. Wish they would update and fix things. RBI 20 didn’t have one update for as long as I had it. RBI 21 has been out awhile and I have not received an update to the game outside of a server side roster update which isn’t completely up to date either..Jonathan413Version: 1.0.1

✓ Glitches and unplayableWhat a terrible version. After playing RBI19 and RBI20, this is a disappointment. The game freezes mid game and at the start of new games, which does not allow the game to progress. I think the glitches in gameplay have to do with the “player creation” feature because gameplay improved once I deleted the player au had created. Also, it would be nice if they updated rosters a bit more frequently..Ragin' RogVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Unplayable constantly crashesJust terrible- this game crashes on iPhone XR and is unplayable. Not worth anything.OakvilleapplVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Game closes as loading !I just bought the game on my iPad and can’t play. It shuts down as soon as it’s loading even though I have the newest version....67moi67Version: 1.0.1

✓ GARBAGEOMG! Why in the world is this 7 dollars?! Like come on! I can’t swing the bat, and when I FINALLY do, it says: LATE. Why did I pay 7$ so I can play a game where you have to smash the swing button before the pitcher releases the ball?! The ONLY reason this is 1 star is bc the commentary is good, and the rosters are updated. and developers, can you respond instead of sending one of those things that says: Sorry, contact us at rbi. net whatever the thing is. I’ve LOVED the previous editions of this game, but update it or your not gonna get more buyers. Just face it..RBI FANVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Bugs1) For some reason, after some games I can’t get out of the box score screen once the game is over. I hit continue continually and nothing happens - I just have to close the app and re-open. 2)Also pitch count needs to be looked at because it’s inaccurate. 3)There needs to be more swing and misses also, and more strikeouts in order to reflect big league gameplay and stats (shouldn’t have to dial sliders in order to reflect this) 4) baserunner AI is pretty bad, it needs to be more aggressive generally, so that more runs score from second base, etc... LOVE playing exhibition games, and rosters are great. Gameplay is lacking particularly in these areas above..Ryn dadVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Needs to be fixedWhen I first bought this game, I was super excited to try it. When I loaded in everything looked good, but when I loaded into a game, it was the opposite. First off, unless you hit the ball in the air over a defender, it’s impossible to get a hit. Second off, every few innings it glitched me so I couldn’t pitch and I would have to exit out of the whole game. But, I really like the create a player feature, it gives you the opportunity to edit or make a player. That’s the only reason I’m not giving 1 star, all around disappointment. I’d wait a few months before buying to make sure they fix the game..Ju1cebox_21Version: 1.0.1

✓ Some fixes neededI only have a couple problems with the game. The first one is that the game will occasionally crash out of nowhere. The second problem I have, which is not as often as the first, is that I will sometimes have a few lag spikes while in a game. The game is enjoyable, but if these problems get fixed, it should be even more enjoyable to play..Reagan BarbeVersion: 1.0.1

✓ BadFielders can only throw the ball to the cutoff man and that’s it. Base buttons are completely unresponsive. Ground ball in the infield, fielder gets it and can’t do anything but run with it. Pitching interface is really weird and could be so much better. Batting interface is also terrible. The timing on pitches is bad, have to swing as he releases to even touch fastballs. Has potential to be a solid game, incredibly unfortunate that nothing has been fixed since the game came out. Waste of money..Zongo236Version: 1.0.1

✓ Bugs and concernsI have noticed a couple times after I finished a game I tap “continue” and I cannot advance to next screen but there will be ambient background sound. Then just recently, I choose a pitch and the screen will be stuck at pitching screen with ambient background noise. I am running iOS 14.5. It feels like I wasted money buying this game..Guapo7467Version: 1.0.2

✓ GlitchyBetter than other years, hitting more balls. Though the player still catches the ball when not even close to the ball. When I tap where I want to throw the ball it sometimes doesn’t go. The controls are glitchy . Overall I think it is a better improvement, hopefully they keep going in that direction of improving the game..A review 123Version: 1.0.1

✓ Too many glitchesGame is fun when it works but there are way too many glitches. Many times the game will just hang indefinitely and you can’t progress, or if you’re pitching and there’s a runner on first their display bar will be flashing all over the batter. When batting, the display bar for the runner still moves around strangely and obviously not intended. Have bought this game the past couple years and this is the first time I’ve seen so many bugs on launch..ShuanohVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Fix this game!Just like the other reviews say, can’t throw to bases!.Ez_writerVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Worst version ever for glitchesI have bought every iteration of this game, and this one is by far the worst. In less than a month of playing, I already have had to scrap significant parts of a season twice because the program froze midgame and offered no options to get out of the game mode. I had to delete the app and download it again to start over. Not only that, but also the base stealing option does not work in classic mode. Get it together, folks. I am obviously a loyal customer, but my patience has worn thin..MgconroyVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Please send out a bug fix. Favorite game, but it’s unplayable nowThis is honestly my favorite game. I always play it to distract myself from a bad day, or just for enjoyment. I wish there were more sports games on the App Store, this one to me is the best. But, there are so many bugs. I can’t field(I have to have it on automatic) and now whenever I go to counting a game a it freezes and doesn’t start up. I really really love this game, and I hope someone will reach out from the app to understand what can be fixed. I’m a huge fan and I want to keep playing, but I’m going to go back to RBI 20 in the meantime. The editing players, and creating players is really brilliant, and I love that they added a commentator. So much potential, if only they could x\fix some of the bugs please..JpotopeVersion: 1.0.3

✓ I gave upFinal update: couldn’t deal any longer with the numerous issues - Baserunners couldn’t tell a hit from an out and would refuse to run even on some force plays Outfielders catch the ball cleanly but no out recorded, sometimes resulting in a runner scoring from 3rd on the third out AI runners stealing at will, not once getting a runner even with good throwing catcher AI runners always getting the benefit of a tag call even in run-downs AI refusing to make adjustments to batting lineups even when lead off hitters were hitting a buck and change AI using the same relief pitchers over and over who never seem to need a recovery break Terrible roster management especially if you try going straight to postseason The final straw was an AI pitcher throwing a curveball registered at 6 mph! How does a thrown ball travel all that distance at that speed?.SourdustajmVersion: 1.0.6

✓ GarbageDoesn’t have updated teams or jerseys like it says and the game won’t even loud in for me i have no spent 20 dollars of my money for this game and it works every 2 days .. I’m not happy. At All. Fix your games or just stop selling garbage..ChefhandzVersion: 1.0.1

✓ App keeps freezing; unable to sim to current dateApp would have gotten a better score if it did not keep freezing up to the point where I have to restart my phone. If I want to bring it so my team is up to date with the current real team as far as the calendar goes, the app does not let me sim to those dates; the only message I receive is that the app is either loading or saving. I have tried going forward with another team and I get the same a message. This is extremely frustrating especially since I’ve hardly ever had issues with previous editions. Please fix!!’.Neveragain12Version: 1.0.2

✓ All of above.Great when it works. Which is a rarity. Plz fix..Thomcat80Version: 1.0.3

✓ Buggy when fieldingThrow to base buttons don’t work when using Assisted or Standard settings.. very poor.Briff77Version: 1.0.0

✓ Fielders do not throwCan’t throw to any base..Wwwdotsyco13dotcomVersion: 1.0.0

✓ BUY RATHER RBI baseball ‘20I’ve bought each year the new version of the game since 2015. This 2021 version as different flaws with blurred action images. Crowd and comment or addition are more realistic. Recommandation: buy the 2020 version. More realistic to play (speed of balls for instance) and great HD images even in action..Perspective 2010Version: 1.0.6

✓ Crashes ConstantlyI was really looking forward to this game as I have enjoyed the previous versions. The improvements look nice, but I can’t truly experience them. The game crashes constantly. I was able to play one full game, but it crashed 8 times during the game. I will delete and hope for an update that improves it. Update: Downloaded the update and it still crashes constantly..Hogan873Version: 1.0.1

✓ MehI’ve got to start out by saying that this is so much better than the console version, as that was the worst $20 I have ever spent in my entire life. But to hit on this one, there’s some things I like, and a handful of things I think could be better and one major thing that you need to fix. Gameplay is nice and (kinda) smooth. One thing I would fix, give us the ability to sort by position, when doing trades, looking at the roster, and editing. Other than that, it’s a pretty decent experience. But for the love of god, can you please fix the fact that I can nail a ball straight center and somehow and infielder magically catches it from 8 feet away?? Every single time. It’s impossible to ground to the outfield because of this..MarkosLongosVersion: 1.0.3

✓ TerribleThis is not a decent game. It’s not even a okay game. It’s an utterly, utterly dreadful game with absolutely zero redeeming qualities..RJ2827Version: 1.0.1

✓ ✅ Angel Hernandez Seal of Approval ✅I swing at a pitch middle middle, it’s a weak grounder to the pitcher. The AI swings at a pitch 10 inches outside and crushes it into the gap. Pitches 6 inches outside are called for strikes consistently. Runners touching home plate on a 2-out groundout score unless the runner is thrown out first. Fielder’s gloves have magical enchantments that allow them to snag pop ups that are 6-7 rows deep in the stands. I chop one foul and because the ball taps the white chalk twice, it counts for two strikes on one swing. If you try to skip the between-inning box score, the game will almost always freeze. FIX. THIS. GAME.._JT46Version: 1.0.1

✓ So many glitchesI’m disappointed with this game. I think the game can be good, without the glitches and crashes. As this being the main baseball mobile game, it should be better. It seems like every time i play something goes wrong. My game has crashes when i hit home runs sometimes, button glitches, created player glitches, etc..Iron_skittleVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Good games, some flawsGreat new addition to rbi, does have some tweaks to work out. Player edits in franchise mode don’t last more than 1 game. When runner gets on 1st base their steal bar can be on the middle of the screen or on the right side by the controls. Switches from Classic to Modern pitching mode in middle of a game. Occasionally base running errors, especially when trying to execute a hit and run. Pitchers tire way too fast..StbullVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Awesome, just app crashes every time I try to play a game.I looked at this game and is specs, and it worked- for three games. I tried completely closing out the app (didn’t work), shutting down the device, even going to delete it before I realized my old iPad didn’t have the capability to delete stuff. Great app for a new device. All of the things you can do on there are awesome, just needs an app update (especially according to the other reviewers out there.) I gave this a three star rating only because of the crashes. Everything else was awesome..??????????????????squiVersion: 1.0.3

✓ DumbTrea turner and max scherzer are still on the nationals it’s so stupid. The fielding is horrible if the ball is at third base it is an out at first and when I hit a grounder foul it’s also an out I get perfect timing it’s a pop out to the catcher when I get a dinger the run doesn’t count the only other possible way to hit is a grounder that the fielder dives through the pitching is horrible you can’t move the pitch up or down there is no hr derby if you want to play a good baseball game don’t play this one..Someguy151515Version: 1.0.6

✓ TerribleIt is impossible to play baseball when the creators of the game don’t even make a game with the rules of baseball correctly. On a two out fly ball the runner can not tag up. The inning is over at Three Outs! I want a refund! WASTE OF TEN DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!! Batting timing is off so how are you suposed to hit the ball when the batter swings 2 seconds after you press swing.JcindcndsVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Could be great if fixedThis game has great potential. The gameplay is great and really fun but there are a few things that I think should be fixed. Number 1: When I finish a game and I hit continue to go back to the menu but it just stays in the box score screen but I know it isn’t frozen because the music is still playing. This is the really big one. Number 2: When I try to throw to a base it works fine but it glitches really weirdly in that it looks like that ball goes through the fielder but then ends up in his glove. This is not fun for the eyes and gets pretty annoying. Number 3: When I have played on my IPad I have experienced a lot of crashing after about an inning maybe more and this makes it so I don’t want to play anymore. If this continues I will not be playing this game anymore. Even with all this, I still think this could be a great game. Minus these things the graphics are awesome and I love all the gameplay options and camera angles. If they put in the effort to make fixes this could be a 5 star caliber game..DFG8874Version: 1.0.3

✓ Interesting physicsThe fasted pitch ever recorded clocked in at about 105 mph. Which make the Cubs’ pitcher’s 160mph curveball look impressive, impossible even. Well, because it is. The new update seems to have added a few glitches, such as moments when the app is loaded and nothing shows but the team backdrop after the title screen. And impossible catches and pitches. If only I was that good in high school....LeBleuet55Version: 1.0.3

✓ Still incredibly glitchyIn case you were a hold out and wanted to wait for the game to get polished and see how it is don’t hold your breath. I still can’t go more than 2 games without a game breaking bug like runners failing to turn while running the bases and all being called out or an outfielder missing the ball and then just looking at it while unable to pick it up etc. Or the game crashing after an out when you’re pitching and being unable to continue the game and simply having to restart. When you can actually play the game it’s pretty good other than not being able to use Shohei Ohtani as a pitcher. It’s not even a choice between pitcher or hitter. He is only a DH period which is a glaring error in and of itself. But the frequency of bugs is still alarming and offputting. Roster updates are incredibly infrequent and if your team calls someone up from the minors you will not even find them in your reserves until they eventually get around to a roster update. I’ve played countless free baseball games with much better polish and roster options than this one. In my opinion you’d be better off playing one of those than wasting your money on a barely updated, same as rbi 20, incredibly glitchy crapfest..DjgcooldawgsVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Roster update needs an update 😂Just bought this game today (July 19th) and the only options for a roster is either the basic roster that’s from the 2020 season or the “updated” roster from JUNE 4TH! For a game that cost $7 you would think they could update the roster at least once a month now if I want to play I need to spend 20mins changing the entire roster around because the game still thinks players are hurt and not active. This game will get a higher review when they come out with a new accurate roster.FMFF2GVersion: 1.0.3

✓ My fielders can’t throw the ball after fielding. Just downloaded thisGlitch ? Update….. May 3rd, still can’t play defense while having it on assisted fielding. They replied to me “ it’s fixed” but it isn’t . And now after making a few updates to current players on my roster in franchise mode it’s glitched! When trying to choose my pitcher and opponent’s pitchers screen before the game doesn’t have their team at all. It has my starting pitcher and then it’s a blank box where pitchers should be and title of it says rotation and I can switch it to rotation. I think a great feature should be added in the [game options section ] where it could run a quick {clear cache } or something or reboot during a game so it’d save data and Probably have it available on all the other screens too while choosing what you’re currently doing. I like playing classic mode too myself and being able to stack your team with legends when you go to add free agents. Then play franchise mode and win it all.. please app developers go through quick and make these updates. And GO Atlanta Braves ! Lol play ball ⚾️.#1jtiaVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Do buy yetDon’t buy this app yet. $6.99 I really want my money back. The app does everything I want it to do. BUT this thing has more bugs than a jungle. I was trying to play dynasty mode 10 years. I at least want to complete 1 season. The game got to game like 25 and quit. It would only let one batter bat. If he hit a single Freeze. Close the app. Resume game same player K game Frozen. Turn it off and come back. Same inning same batter hits HR frozen. Everyone just stands there. One time playing it just turned the game off. I deleted the app thinking it would save my season/dynasty. Bad news it cleared everything. This is so disappointing..OK-ARK CowboyVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Or worth 7.99This game has terrible graphics compared to the others. It is not worth 6.99 on mobile(Maybe on a Version 1 DS). So if you want to try it out go ahead and waste your money. I think the free game,(MLB 9 innings 21) has better graphics. Another thing is, is that when I throw or hit the ball it seems anticlimactic, like the throwing is not fast enough to be a 99 mph fastball. Same goes with the batting. I recommend MLB 9 innings 21 instead of this game..Baller396Version: 1.0.3

✓ FixCant throw to any base while fielding and game stops in 4th inning.DRobothouseVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Below averageGame has potential but the gameplay is super glitchy. I was playing the orioles and they hit a liner to right field and I scooped it up and hit 2nd to get the ball in play and my outfielder didn’t throw the ball… instead he proceeded to slide 20ft in the outfield while holding onto the ball and allowed to runs to get home including an inside the park HR. I recommend auto fielding till this is fixed. The animations of balls getting past a baseman/shortstop is near impossible… every play you think you have a single line drive it magically gets scooped up and thrown to first by the time your player starts running. Most of the character models are super inaccurate as well..RegIsTheGoatBruhVersion: 1.0.3
