MLB 14 The Show Video - Dynamic Batting and Fielding Cameras (PS4)

I will say the ball becomes awfully hard to see during day games without that trail, at least on the PS3. It's not like it scales much or anything - you'll really only be able to see the fielders moving toward it to know where it is, at least from my experience.

At night it's much easier to see, obviously.

I like that aspect too, but in baseball in real life even though it's hard to tell, it's still possible to tell. I don't know if that's the case in this game.

I agree, it is hard if looking solely at the ball. When the ball is the air, I'm shifting my eyes between the flight of the ball and the fielder - similar to when I'm playing or watching (on TV and in the stands). This gives me a pretty good indication if the ball is going to be caught. It's not perfect, but I'll continue to use it.

The new dynamic fielding marker goes hand in hand perfectly with the new camera!! Batting takes a bit getting used to, I like the suspense of the fly ball you hit, but the ball trail makes it kind of arcade-y.

Where on the PS3 version do you go to find it ?? Can you use it with RTTS ??thanks

Although similar, the RTTS cam is unique to that mode, and it allows you to toggle (L2) between your RTTS behind-the-player cam to a broadcast cam, when the ball is in flight.

I like that aspect too, but in baseball in real life even though it's hard to tell, it's still possible to tell. I don't know if that's the case in this game. Even when you watched Puig, Pence, and Russell playing HRD, they couldn't tell if it was going to the third deck or falling short of the warning track. There should be some discrepancy in ball flight there, IMO. The ball should appear smaller, or something of that nature.

Just saying I think they have a while to nail that aspect, even though they have now gotten the "mystery" aspect of it going for them.

A perfect example of how the dynamic camera (especially with the ball trail OFF) factors into gameplay can be found here: http://youtu.be/r2BP6l6MxnI?t=4m5s - you can see me being indecisive around second base because I couldn't tell if it was going to be caught or not. I definitely like the uncertainty it brings to the game, both offensively and defensively. Also, trajectory plays a part in the camera behavior as well.

too bad that same gameplay cant be experienced online and using this camera. Would really like to see it in action vs online opponents.

These dyaminc features are in PS3 right? So nothing new...just footage of it on PS4?

From what I've seen so far on the PS3 game and this video, that is correct.

Well since that's ps4 video, did the devs every say why in the runner window the players still do not display jersey numbers.

Could it be that they were Giants, Red Sox, or Yankees and had no names on their jerseys to begin with? I noticed a lot of those teams in the video.

I like the new fielding camera. But I still think that the batting camera would screw up my base running. I'll give it a shot though.

Im 99% sure a dev has chimed in on here recently confirming runner windows this year will now display numbers.
