MLB 14 The Show Screenshots - Starting Lineups, Pitcher Rotations and Ratings

[SirSpencAlot36]

hey idk if this is too much but i was curious if you could post screenshots of the entire 40-man (SCEA Players) for each team?

Is it my imagination or are the H/9 ratings for the non elite pitchers a bit on the low side??


Could this be to make hitting easier this year, especially on the PS4, where SCEA will be hoping to get a lot of new customers??

Its probably more to do with whatever tweaks they made to the ratings system. It also afffects sims not just gameplay. I doubt that a lower H/9 will suddenly make bad hitters better. There are plenty of tools in the game already to make hitting as easy or as hard as you want without touching the ratings.

Awesome thanks!

Another forum poster, Christian9, gave him this spreadsheet he made of a simulated year 1 of MLB 14. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwGR...N1UHpxbzQ/edit

A few typos in there I think but the sim stats look really good imo. Strikeouts look way better than last year. Only big issue is the amount of Steals are crazy high but it shouldn't be a hard fix for the devs if they decide to patch it (If we make enough noise!)

Download the file and open it in LibreOffice or Excel if it's cut off on Google Spreadsheets to see the full table.

The Yankees record in that sim HAHAHAHA. I can only wish they do that in real life. Pretty happy with the sim stats we've seen so far though

I'm extremely happy.

Even with the patch last year, I honestly would be lying if I sat here and said I was in love with the sim stats.

Everything looks so great right now on all fronts. So much so that I'm debating on biting the bullet on the PS3 version and using the cloud save compatibility once the PS4 version drops.

I see 19 SP with an ERA below 3.00. That seems like a lot.
