RBI Baseball 2016 - Opening Day ROMs

Hey folks, it's your old friend TecmoTurd.  Long time no talk! About a year or so ago, actually. Coincidentally, it's been that long since the RBI 2015 ROM release.  If you look at the title, you'll notice I said "ROMs," plural.  That's right, you have more options!

 

RBI 2016 - by TecmoTurd of RBIBaseball.us

This is the yearly release you've come to know and love in varying forms of evolution since 2008.  I've spent countless hours (through the help of MANY people) trying to keep the RBI community alive, and I think the process of making this ROM has evolved to a point where I can say this is the best ROM I've put out. This is the ROM you'll find on the little gray carts you may have seen around town.  If you know where to find the Tecmo ones, you'll know where to find the RBI ones.

 

Style - This ROM is rated very much with original ratings in mind.  The game should play like the old classic, but with with rosters from opening day for all 30 teams available.  Great pitchers will fool you all day long and go deep into the 7th, mediocre pitchers will fool you sometimes and get taken deep others, and terrible pitchers will have a difficult time getting batters out.

RBI 2016 - by Baron Von Lector of Baron's ROMS

I've been talking with Baron for a few years now discussing the editing of various games and this year after discussing our ROMs, realized we both planned to release an opening day RBI ROM for 2016.  Instead of two separate posts, we decided to release them together.  Baron has a knack for high quality efforts, and the sheer number of great ROMs the guy puts out is astounding.  Have you seen his Tecmo NCAA Basketball ROM? It's brilliant!

 

Style - Baron and I have discussed how our ROMs differ.  Generally, our power ratings fall close to each other, while our pitching/speed/contact ratings differ in approach.  Another noticeable difference is that my ROM displays player's names as an almost vowel-less word, (Maldanado becomes Mldndo) whereas Baron's displays names with the first 6 characters regardless of name (Maldanado becomes Maldan) as well as well-known players might display their nickname or first name instead.

As a subtlety, the full dirth paths have been added to the game as they have every year in place of the old school pond style dirt areas around the base.  We think it adds a nice modern feel to the game.  Both ROMs are definitely worth a try if you're into the best 8-bit baseball game ever made. The best part is you get to choose for yourself which one suits you best!  Enjoy, and go baseball!  

 

P.S. We get that some people think Baseball Stars or Bases Loaded 2 are better games.  Believe me, we hear it all the time.  We love those games too! We just prefer fat, pixelated white dudes and the simplicity and fun of RBI!
