Therefore, it is not surprising that the Baseball series has gained great popularity; recently MLB has developed a new release for the PC platform - R.B.I. Baseball 20 ", with improved graphics and gameplay.

Features of the game “R.B.I. Baseball 20 "

Developers call "R.B.I. Baseball 20 "the annual continuation of the sports series, with a new release, gamers received cool graphics, updated athlete rosters and modes, more convenient controls and a camera. Plus - the accompanying gaming capabilities. But if in America everyone knows the rules of the game from childhood, then domestic gamers, before taking on a new product, should familiarize themselves with the essence of the process.

So, briefly about the rules. Up to 9 people participate, there are 2 teams: attacking and defending. For those who attack, the athlete with the bat starts the game in the "house", and if he manages to slip into the base, then the partner intercepts the bat. If it turns out to hit the ball successfully, then the baseball player manages to run around several bases and return to the "home", and the team gets 1 point. In fact, there are two main players: the pitcher is the thrower, and the batter is the batter. The better a pitcher is at shooting, the sooner his defending team can attack. And the batter hits, then leaves the bat and rushes to the 1st base, where he already becomes a runner - a runner. The role of the batter is intercepted by his partner, while the first number is trying to rush around the bases at this time. There must also be a catcher behind the batter who catches the ball thrown by the pitcher. But only if the opponents did not hit the ball.

A total of 9 periods are spent - innings, in each of them the team attacks and defends 1 time. If it's a tie, add another inning until the winner is revealed.

How should you throw the ball?

The pitcher must throw the ball into the strike zone, this is a special rectangle that is above the batter's knees, but below the chest. The term "strike" means a successful throw. If the ball enters the strike zone or outside of it, and the batter misses, the referee calls the strike. Experienced baseball players use this tricky trick: they throw the ball twice with all their might, and then a little weaker, so that the batter swings the bat earlier than necessary.

It is considered successful to send the ball beyond the far semicircle, this is called a "home run". Then the batter gets a head start to run through the bases without haste, and the team gets a point. When the athletes of the defending team intercept the ball, preventing it from hitting the ground, even behind the distant semicircle, the batter is sent to the bench, and his teammates move to their former bases.
