MLB 14 The Show Q & A (PS4)

Re: MLB 14 The Show Q & A (PS4)

Sound isn't noticeably different from past PS3 versions, but I'm no audiophile either.

Neither of us has played this year's PS3 or Vita version so everyone will have to keep that in mind for gameplay improvements to ball physics, animations, etc. Haven't come across anything that seems worse than previous versions.

The flat far away backdrops outside the stadium look really good. Will check tonight how big the 3D area outside of stadiums seems.

Initial full loading takes anywhere from 20-40 minutes. The game is very rough with slow loading and what you can actually do before it's fully loaded.

13 minor league and 2 ST parks + 30 MLB ones.

Did you get a chance to play a game in the rain? Would love to hear or see how the game looks during rain.

Damn that sucks on the ST parks. Not too big of a deal though. I might as well ask cause someone will if I don't. Did the add the Mets Alternate Blue uniform? (for whatever reason for some OSers this is make or break for them)

Re: MLB 14 The Show Q & A (PS4)

Same amount of uniform slots. Mets only have blue ones for ST. Pretty sure exact same list as PS3.

Install according to the box is 47GB.

I've taken a few screens I'll try to share tonight at some point. With the PS4 update hopefully videos are easy enough to get online in decent enough quality to make it worth it. Unfortunately I do not have any dedicated video capture equipment.

Videos should be in 720p now.

Yes indeed, any screenshots (taken in game with the PS4 capture thing) and/or videos would be hugely appreciated!

Next question....commentary.

Are you finding theres much new stuff talked about? Do they go off on tangents about players/stories etc, is there much new material/lines as far as you can tell?

Is the Rosin bag always on the pitchers mound and does the pitcher pick it up and throw it down in real time? On the PS3 version the Rosin bag was not on the pitchers mound but they did have a cut scene showing the pitcher pick it up and throw it back down once in a while.

I am hoping it's now always showing on the pitchers mound and the pitcher pick it up and throws it down in real time instead of a cut scene.

Can you check if the division standings on the green monster at Fenway Park now update in real time in season mode?

Bearing in mind that 1 game makes it tough to gauge how repetitive commentary gets, so far it has been different enough. It was an exhibition game so you're dealing with last year's statistics etc etc but the in game stuff was nice in context. None of this may be new (my primary mode was RTTS last year so I did not exhaust last year's commentary) but specifics that I recall:

-Getting criticized mightily for sliding into first on a lark
-Comments on the failure of my team’s strategy when my pinch hitter struck out swinging
-Discussion about my player’s inability to go 1st to 3rd on a hit and run that went to shallow centre
-Discussions about a Record for HRs by a 41 year old that Ibanez set last year
-Commentary on pitch count and the impact this can have on effectiveness and subsequently commenting on me leaving in a relief pitcher for a third inning even as he tired commenting that he had earned his chance to go at it for that inning based on performance.
-Context sensitive commentary about a pitcher leaving a 3-1 pitch up in Pujols wheel house and getting punished
-Discussion/compliment of a pitcher who got fed up nibbling for corners when ahead in a count and just blowing by a fast ball
-Commenting on the fact that Grinke is considered a strike out pitcher but had not been getting strike outs.

As always you kind of have to expect that as you play more games that you will find less and less new nuggets of commentary and it will all sound repetitive. But at least on the surface they appear to have done a decent job of getting context sensitive commentary spot on.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Q & A (PS4)

Does either of your guys PS4 get loud when playing? Mine does for certain games especially 2k. I know you can get a replacement from sony for a loud fan. But no way i am doing that less than a week away from the show.

Just the sort of thing i was asking about...thankyou, excellent observations.

Have you seen any neat "little things" yet like birds or airplanes flying by?
