R.B.I. Baseball 18 doesn’t really need to exist on the PS4, which is an issue. While it’s competent enough to register a clean hit, The Show runs laps around the title in virtually every department. Yes, it’s cheaper and more accessible than Sony’s vastly superior alternative – but we still wouldn’t recommend pinch hitting San Diego’s effort for this.  
It's a whole new ballgame! R.B.I. Baseball 18 take a significant leap delivering all-new Franchise Mode, Home Run Derby Mode, redesigned player models, stunning MLB ballparks and UI presentation.

R.B.I. Baseball 18 is another disappointing baseball 'simulation' on Switch. If you want a solid baseball experience on the Switch, you could do worse than Super Baseball 2020. Failing that, go buy a PS4 and MLB The Show 18 and be happy the rest of your life. On today’s platforms, Sony San Diego has it sewn up and this is not going to change any time soon.

While the game does feature a full 10-Season Franchise mode, Postseason, Home Run Derby, and more, it just felt like the core foundation (gameplay) of the game was neglected. Development for the game was handled by MLBAM (Major League Baseball Advanced Media) which produces the amazing MLB At-Bat app so hopefully, they’ll be able to improve the series with each new iteration. With RBI Baseball 19, I really hope they focus on the quality of the gameplay and making sure it’s fun to play. They’ve got the modes and the visuals are pretty solid–now it’s time to refine it. I honestly don’t think I would recommend this game unless there’s a steep discount or improvements are made.
