MLB Advanced Media reviving R.B.I. Baseball Major League Baseball is stepping in to fill the void left by the MLB 2K series by reviving the beloved R.B.I. Baseball franchise. R.B.I. Baseball '14 will come to current and next-gen consoles, as well as smartphones and tablets, in Spring 2014.

Now that 2K Sports' hold of the MLB license has expired, it looks like this void will be filled by Major League Baseball itself. MLB Advanced Media sent out a press release late Tuesday night revealing that they would be reviving a classic and long-dormant NES franchise with R.B.I. Baseball '14.

The new R.B.I. Baseball website simply shows a Spring 2014 release date, but also shows that it will be coming to current and next-gen consoles, as well as tablets and mobile devices.

For those that might be too young to remember the days of old-school R.B.I. Baseball, here's a video (courtesy of NES Guide) to give you a quick overview. Baseball games sure used to be a lot simpler back in the '80s.
