MLB 14 The Show Video and Developer Blog - Quick Counts and Player Lock

Hopefully the numbers on the CF scoreboard at Wrigley get changed to white on PS4, I know a lot of people requested that last year.

This is good stuff. Liking the new way the game looks. (not to sound unappreciative of the new info especially since we haven't gotten any recently) BUT I'd LOVE to just SEE what the PS4 is up to. Honestly the PS3 screens and vids aren't doing it for me anymore knowing how good the initial PS4 shots looked. Hopefully by next week (or the week after) they'll be ready to throw some PS4 media our way.

Sounds good, but the pitching motions all still look terrible.

Hopefully animations will be a bit better on PS4.

"Player Search" (from the Menu screen) is a great addition. Definitely something a lot of people, including myself, wanted to have. Thanks!!!

I wouldn't count on it. I'd be surprised if we see anything more than a couple screenshots of the PS4 before the PS3 version is released. Their goal right now is to maximize their sales of the PS3 version and not alienate that fan base before moving their attention to PS4 owners. The blogs will refer to both versions, but any video released in March should be PS3 only.

Here is my theory on that. And its just a theory.
But my friend, Graig Kreindler does some AMAZING paintings of MLB players.
He has told me the law allows him to create one painting of each work and it must be different in some way than the original if he intends to sell it.

So, my theory is that SCEA artists have to do the same thing when they create these stadiums and features in the stadiums.
Remember, someone created the real life buildings and scoreboards and in a sense were artists themselves. So re-creating exact replicas would be a copyright infringement. So SCEA makes the Wrigley numbers Yellow instead of White to protect themselves from copyright infringement or from forcing themselves from pursuing the rights from the original designer.

AGAIN..... Just a theory.

I also noticed on the Score Bug it gave the weather and wind conditions before the pitcher made the pitch, very nice.
