      Just don't want you to be like me last year and wake up to it still downloading. I was so upset with myself for not going to a local store, but either way, you'll get the game!

        I think i'm at 28Mbps. But i think the PS4's network signal is better and stronger than the PS3's, so I'm thinking it'll be faster. But again, if it goes all night while I'm sleeping, I think I'll be good. (If not, oh well, live and learn)

            Anyone have any insight on batting stances? Will more players have their own unique and accurate stances? I know in ps3 versions they did a relativelt decenr job on stances but I feel like 80% of the players didnt have accurate stances.

              more than likely, see fact sheet

              After releasing a mini-fact sheet last week, we now have the official MLB 14 The Show fact sheet, thanks to Russell over at The Show Nation.

              Read them over and let us know what you think. The PlayStation Vita and PS3 version arrive on April 1st, while the PS4 version will ship sometime in May. When we get an official PS4 release date, we'll be sure to update everyone.

              KEY FEATURES
              • Next Generation Baseball Has Arrived - MLB 14 The Show makes its next-gen debut on the PS4 system, utilizing the system’s vast resources to deliver exceptionally detailed and fluid gameplay. With improvements to presentation, a wealth of added animations, and a dramatic increase in environment and player detail, we are setting out to create the best-looking and best-playing baseball sim ever created.
              • The Evolution of Road to The Show continues (All platforms) - First among the major improvements is a completely revamped advancement system, complete with improved logic and the removal of advancement goals. Also being introduced is a new beginning to a player’s RTTS career with the Topps Amateur Showcase, a series of games against other draft prospects. Additionally, the training system, logic, screens and modes have all been revamped to provide users with a more engaging experience.

                - Other changes include a new player-creation process, the reintroduction of the “broadcast” presentation perspective as an option, and a re-envisioned Catcher Mode, to name a few (PS3 & PS4 Only).
              • Year-to-Year Saves (All platforms) - For the first time in franchise history, saves can be carried over from MLB 14 to future releases of The Show, meaning that gamers won't have to worry about starting their Franchise or Road to the Show seasons over in years to come.
              • Player Lock (All platforms) - The new Player Lock feature (a.k.a RTTS anywhere) gives users the ability to lock-on to any single player and enter games using the Road to the Show gameplay mechanic, allowing for faster games and more focused on-field action.
              • Quick Counts (All platforms) - Users will now be able to play a full nine-inning game in less than 30 minutes, half the time it takes in previous iterations of The Show. Despite the shortened game durations, realistic stats will not be compromised.
              • Community Challenges (PS3 & PS4) - Players will be able to freely toy and tinker with game situations and scenarios on the fly, whether that’s the inning, score, who’s on base, or where the ball is hit. These custom situations can be bundled with a creative set of goals and put forth as a challenge to the community, whether it’s to relive the past, change history, or dream of new possibilities.
              • Universal Profile (PS3 & PS4) - A new tendency-tracking system monitors and records gamers’ unique playing styles. Those patterns are stored in the Universal Profile, which can be viewed by anyone looking to get a quick scouting report on the player. The Universal Profile can also be subbed in in place of a CPU opponent in Diamond Dynasty and Online Franchise, making for more realistic head-to-head matchups when schedules prevent synchronous play.
              • Online Franchise (PS3 & PS4) - Finally, Franchise mode can be shared with friends online, with most of the features from the offline version making the transition, including Scouting, the Amateur Draft, Free Agency and CPU Trades. The mode will remain highly customizable as scheduling, divisions, postseason spots and more are all commissioner options.
              • Stubs (All platforms) - Playing games in MLB 14 The Show rewards players with Stubs. Stubs can be used to purchase additional in-game content – like Road to the Show training points – or used in our new mode, Community Challenges. Stubs can be earned in any mode, and they are not required to progress through a mode. You can still purchase additional in-game content through the PlayStation Store.
              • Diamond Dynasty Extra Innings (PS3 & PS4) - In this mode, a player’s team is always looking for opportunities to challenge other users in an offline setting, which allows the user to earn bonus rewards the next time they log in. When online, the player has the opportunity to challenge other user-created teams in an offline game where the CPU controls their team. Players can only benefit positively in this mode even if their team does not perform up to their normal standards.
              • Dynamic Difficulty (All platforms) - Baseball is a sport the dedicated love to master, but also one that can intimidate newcomers. In this year’s version of The Show, players who don’t feel like veterans yet can opt to start on a lower difficulty level and jump right in. An advanced logic system will then grade the user’s skill and adjust the challenge level up or down based on their overall performance. Batting and pitching are evaluated separately, so it’s possible for one to increase in difficulty while the other doesn’t, or even reduces. On-screen notifications will advise when the difficulty setting has been adjusted.
              • Franchise Improvements (PS3 & PS4 Only) - Efforts continue to improve the accessibility of Franchise mode. A new notification system, which keeps the user more connected to their organization and the league, serves as an “Assistant GM” and will make sure critical information is more immediately provided and more readily accessible. Also refined is the logic that helps the multi-season cycle of Franchise mode and all of the stats and developments therein resemble real life as closely as possible. Other additions include a player search and the ability to hire and fire coaches during the regular season.
              • True Broadcast Presentations (PS3 & PS4 Only) - The Show’s presentation crew has taken on a tall task for MLB 14: streamlining the game while enhancing the reality and increasing the variety of the experience. Pace of play is a focal point for the team as we strive to immerse the user in an even more engaging simulation. Heavy emphasis has also been placed on the stadium environment to feature the upgraded crowd actors, jumbotrons, LED boards, dugouts, specific stadium audio and a more engaged, responsive and unique crowd.
              • On the commentary side, the three-man booth of Matt Vasgersian, Eric Karros and Steve Lyons return for their second season together. This year's title will emphasize the three announcers in a more interactive, conversational style, yet will also continue to mine the world of baseball to find intelligent, timely and compelling commentary concerning today's teams and players. The overall goal is for the game to get deeper, and for the announcers to better adapt to changing game conditions -- including rising the enthusiasm level when the situation dictates.

                  If you're on an ethernet cable there shouldn't be a difference. There is some debate over the PS3's wifi chip and some models of the PS3 having inferior ones. Which has lead to some people saying the wifi sucks and some people saying it functions as expected.

                  I can say on ethernet I have a 10 Mbps connection, I will typically get between 7-8 off PSN, sometimes I get near 10 Mbps, but I also often have days where I get 1-3 Mbps. It is typically slow when the store updates, which makes sense since thats probably around peak download time for whatever they added. GTA V was a mess to download as it basically stopped at some points during the day I tried to download it.

                  I'm sure on faster connections you can get much faster speeds than that, but in the end you are at the mercy of PSN and if it can't deliver the bandwidth than there's nothing you can do but wait.

                    It also slows way down due to the amount of people downloading it at the same time.

                      I guess I'm old school, in the sense that I never download the game, always get my disc.
                      1458, not counting playoffs, that's the number of games in a row I haven't missed! Go Yanks!

                        Don't know about anyone else but I am also really looking forward to seeing how much improved night games will look. With all the new next gen lighting technology on the PS4 I bet all the stadium lighting will look way more realistic then it ever has on the PS3 versions of MLB The Show.

                        I am a 38 year old man and I have never ever been so excited for a video game in my life!

                        Most of my life I pretty much just have always liked playing sports video games. Baseball of course being my favorite by far. I think the first baseball game I ever played was on the Atari 2600 and that's what started my love for baseball gaming. Since then I have just about owned them all including baseball games for Coleco vision and even Commodore 64

                        I can remember like it was yesterday playing this game you see in the screenshot with my brother back in the 80's and saying to my brother you watch someday in the future we are going to be playing baseball video games that look just like real life.

                        Well guys that day is almost here

                          I would have never guessed you were 38 years old.

                            Why because of all the dumb requests and complaints I make? lol

                            Yes I maybe 38 but I will be the first to admit that mentally I feel and even sometimes act no older then 15

                            I am a very young 38 on here and in real life as well

                                Quick question:

                                Not sure if Ramone mentioned it, and sorry if it's been addressed, but can Dynamic Difficulty be used in tandem with Quick Counts?
