The shot of the Twins batter (with the dugout behind him) really shows how the improved lighting has helped night games. It's dang near photo-realistic. And that's on this crappy YouTube video.

And that's the scarry part... Wait until we pop this game in our HD tv!

It makes me down right giddy when you realise this will look even better in motion on your HDTV then it does on internet videos/screens.

I was considering waiting until '15 to get a PS4. Not anymore.

HAHA I knew the show would be my breaking point so I figured why wait, got one at launch, lots of other games this year anyway like destiny, NHL, Dragon Age, The order, Drive club, Watch dogs, Alien isolation etc.....

So do the new catcher animations apply only to blocking and tags?
Zunino and Lucroy have pretty unique set ups, it would be cool to have the option to choose...

The set-up animations are new, sadly its not that big of a difference from past games and every catcher sets up the same...every pitch. It looks a bit more natural, but catchers still don't set-up for dirt pithes, high fastballs, or frame pitches. I'm not sure where all the 150 animations are, but some are definitely related to the catcher setting up. It is a shame that they are so consistently identical. Even if every catcher mixed up his setup animations it would look a lot better.

In regards to the videos...it looks like they still have the body size issue that the PS3 had on some players...i.e. Byrd.

The video was pretty choppy, but I'll assume that it was due to IGN's capturing of the game. The devs have said they are targeting 60 fps and I expect that in the final game, anything less will be a huge let down.

Edit: looks like the footage here is just the same b-roll that SCEA provided. The preview video from OS has the same footage, just not as choppy (maybe just a bit choppy in a few spots). So whatever IGN did with the videos, they look bad. I downloaded the video off youtube at they still looked bad.

I'm only speaking to the quality of whatever IGN did to the footage they were provided.

Re: MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

Is it just me or does SCEA need to come out with more realistic body models?

From what I've seen, Miguel Cabrera will probably look like Marlon Byrd in the game too. I was looking for more realistic models. Next year hopefully.

Other than that..... STUNNING!

SCEA's lead animator was on earlier saying they're aware of peoples complaints with the models, they'll take care of it.

I don't know if it's "popular belief" that he's going anywhere. I think people are just either sick of him or don't like his voice. In a way I get it, as presentation and commentary are some of the best overall ways to give a fresh look. I just think there are other ways we can get there.

Personally, I'm glad SCEA is aiming to work on making what they have more fluid and dynamic rather than scrapping everything and starting from scratch. If they can better capture (or Matt can better deliver...whatever the actual disconnect is) Matt's real life excitement, I think many will stop worrying about a new voice.

I just think that, in worrying about repeated or stale lines, people forget just how much foundation would be lost...not to mention all the names that have been added to the database over the years that might not make it for awhile. So you might get something "fresh" or new, but at the cost of depth (and likely some other cool feature that all the time spent on commentary would take up).

Re: MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

I've said it before and I'll say it again; these videos don't do the game any justice. If they look THIS good compressed on YouTube, just imagine on your HDTV.

This game might get me divorced.

Re: MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

I can't wait to play a full game, because I heard some promising stuff from commentary in these little clips! We heard a lot more conversation, more description when showing a replay, and Matty V's play-by-play of the single was really smooth and realistic. I got all of that out of those small clips, can't wait!
