So true. They always know more than everyone else, even when their "knowledge" is based on nothing.

Well let's work this out then....

The people saying paint job....their knowledge is based on nothing...
The people saying it's getting everything....again...knowledge based on nothing...

Those saying it's all about money....nothing...
Those saying it's all about their love for the game nothing...

So when those WITH the knowledge(the devs!)....have said....
"It's not about doubling up on money"
"It's not going to be a paint job"

We ignore them and say it must be otherwise...

So when guy said don't waste your breath..
Yeah...he's about right.

You just took Mabster's sarcastic comment and proved him right. I laughed at the irony.

You guys keep me young. I missed this forum.

Actually, the funny thing is that his "sarcasm" is actually truth. That's why I said "so true"....DUH

Right. Nobody ever learns anything in this life. Especially when people share their knowledge with others. Nobody learns from that for sure.

It has nothing to do with learning. People don't listen to facts. They want SCEA to do what they think is right and all factual information is "based on nothing."

Bobhead's post was dead on. Yet a million people will ignore it because that's not what they want to hear.

Re: PS4 Discussion (MLB The Show 14)

If anyone truly believes that any corporation makes any decision nowadays for any other reason but to maximize profits and increase stock price, they are sadly mistaken.

What gets added or not added to a game or any corporation's offering is based on ROI and a business case for that product and not what the coders/tech team necessarily want to add or not add to the game. They will do whatever is necessary to make changes that allow faster and more efficient dev/test cycles. Adding something to a product line must show a value-add return or it most likely will not get implemented.

Not saying our suggestions don't get heard and implemented...they do. But only if the changes fall within a specified budget/business case.

It IS all about the money. Period.

What do you think would sell more units? The game the developers want to make or the game the suits want to make.

The one the suits want to make. Everything in this world is a business. They have highly specialized accountants, marketers, etc who do tons of research before they choose the most financially wise decision. The fact is, the majority of people are still on PS3. By making a sub-par game for last gen and focusing on the PS4 version they would most definitely lose money. People would be upset. Ramona even explained this in the interview with PSNation.

EDIT: I also meant to add that the developers want to make their fans happy. By ignoring the PS3 version and only focusing on PS4, they would fail to do that. It doesn't mean the PS4 version will be bad. Far from it. But it wouldn't be fair to focus on a version that likely not a ton of people are willing to make the switch to yet. So in reality, this isn't just a managerial decision. It's likely collective.

What about OSFM for PS-4 ?

Will they be done in June ?

My understanding is that OSFM will be worked on once the PS3 version comes out April 1st. Once completed, the roster files can be transferred over to the PS4.

Thanks.


Do you know if the PS-3 rosters will be in the PS-4 roster vault ?


Or will we have to download them to a USB stick via a link ?

The vaults are cross platform between the PS3 and the PSVita so I think it's safe to assume the vaults will be the same with the PS4 as well.

I am speaking solely of the release dates.
It IS NOT about money...as I'm SURE releasing both games together and on the earlier date that is "normal" would result in the same IF NOT MORE sales...especially on the PS4 platform.

Period ...exclamation point.

Totally agree. If it was really about money in my opinion it would make sense to release The PS4 version ASAP. That way they would sell a tonne of PS4s for Sony.

Re: PS4 Discussion (MLB The Show 14)

I totally agree with you knight, this isn't some startup company looking to get off the ground. They don't need to prove their worth, sales would be good no matter what.

Re: PS4 Discussion (MLB The Show 14)

We can throw conspiracy theories out there all we want, but fact is, they have their reasons for doing what they're doing. Personally I agree that they don't need to prove anything, and releasing ASAP is best for business, BUT... IF they are delaying the releases, then I am willing to accept the "PS4 version not ready yet" line. Hey, it's a brand new console development WITHIN a normal development cycle. it's logical without saying it's gonna go a little further.
