If they* offer some sort of Upgrade Program like I the ones other games have received, then I have no problem reserving the PS3 version TOMORROW and being completely content waiting until May for my $10 graphics update. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

If they* don't offer some sort of plan and make us choose, then it's going to be really tough for me to decide what to do, because I sure as hell am not going to buy this game at full price twice.

*I think this is more on Amazon, Gamespot, Walmart, and other retailers, and not SCEA, so we may never get an answer from Russell on this, but instead, wait for retailers to offer their individual programs.

As of now....I don't think there is anything extra in the PS4 editor than the PS3 editor.
I think in future versions...this will be the case.....(cosmetic...not attribute or information related).....and they would have to come up with a way to incorporate any change from platform to platform.
I know they are already thinking of how to handle it for year to year franchise saves....

Just a note....if I'm getting this all correct
-Roster files....will be usable across all platforms
-Franchise files will also be able to be used from PS3 to PS4(through the Cloud service)...(which is great for those that are getting both versions and want to start ASAP)
-Franchise continuation in '15 will only be on PS4....
(actually.....I just read all platforms.....nice!)

Ya none at all. One team trying to make 3 games with feature parody across all platforms that are as compatible as possible. You may be right though. I think theyre mailing it in this year. And I can only assume the extra time wont make the game worse, I dont think these guys are taking march off this year

This is one of the most frustrating threads I have ever seen.

Nobody promised anybody anything. Nobody owes anybody anything. We have each formed our OWN expectations, realistic or not.

# 125 glenzariczny @ 02/13/14 08:43 PM

I think I may honestly skip the show this year. I assume someone on here will have a pretty up to date OSFM for the show '13 and I can just roll with that, and wait until next year when this is all shaken out properly

Couldn't agree more. Until you have worked on a project such as this keep your mouth shut.

I used to die and kill for Madden, 10 yrs ago. But they could not compete with The Show and lost me as a customer. I am sure The Show feels competition from elsewhere to make the best game possilbe.

I for one don't mind the later date for the PS4 because I find it hard to make it through a season without it getting bored so maybe this will help. I just hope they fix the issue of the weather and the players auto wearing long sleeves during night games.

# 131 ScouserHUN @ 02/14/14 01:01 AM

At first, I was dissapointed by this May release date for the PS4. Then I went back playing BF4 and I just realised that BF4 came out unfinished. We were playing BF4 on the Next gen consoloes for 2-3 months until DICE patched the game up to be playable.

So, in this regard, I am more than comfortable waiting for the game until May.

However I don't know if it had ben confirmed, that the PS3 roster files could be compatible with the PS4, because this is the only way that the OSFM roster could be out on the PS4 on release day. I really hope SCEA addresses this in the coming weeks.

I have only 1 more problem: the green wall at Fenway park is too light in these screenshots.

# 132 SFCFeagin @ 02/14/14 01:08 AM

glad I didnt buy a PS4 yet.. May is ridiculous when the season starts Apr 1st. Looks like its Vita again this year for me. Thuis game needs to be released early to mid March for real-life roster moves, because the ones they start with suck every year.

# 133 DodgerFanatic2K3 @ 02/14/14 01:31 AM

I don't know what the big deal is?????

I'm thrilled to buy the PS3 version a month+ early so I can play it and say in my head "This is going to be so much better on PS4" each time I play and know that they are still tweaking things to make it even more amazing

Then I will simply trade the PS3 copy in for whatever trade in price it's going for and put that towards the PS4 version

They're releasing the game are they not? Even if there was another baseball coming out (which last time I checked there is) this was going to be the release date.

Coming in to this thread you would think The Show isn't coming out this year the way people are reacting, its quite hilarious.

Did anyone noticed at the end of the trailer looks the ump was ejecting the catcher?

I don't think this game was delayed because it isn't ready, or couldn't have been ready. I think it's delayed because Infamous releases in March and there hasn't been a major title released since the PS4 launch. This gives everyone a chance to buy and beat that game, then they can turn their attention to The Show. That being said, I think SCEA San Diego is going to use the extra time to add some things to the game to make it better that they otherwise wouldn't have had time for. The 'vague-ish' May release date just gives them the flexibility to iron out any bugs that should arise without a major uproar. Saying it will release May 1 then delaying it to May 21 takes much more of a PR hit then waiting to announce it comes out on May 21 (just as an example).

Just my opinion, I think you're wrong. This has nothing to do with Infamous and it's release. It's coming out in May because it's not completely ready yet.

# 139 BoomerHB52 @ 02/14/14 08:40 AM

I just want to play the crap out of this game and enjoy. If I have to wait until April, so be it.

Dude, this is one of the most level-headed set of forums I've read. Have you checked out the MLBTS Facebook page?? (which has 250k followers) People over there believe they're on the threshold of h3ll. It's downright hilarious how entitled people become over a game.
