Are the PS4 controls any different from PS3? Can the touch pad be used at all?

The touch pad is used on PS4 in the same way the select button was on PS3.

The Rays use the synthetic grass which is designed to look real.


You see it in football stadiums all the time.

If the rays grass is supposed to look real someone needs to be fired.

Yes it does look real in real life. You only know it's not when you step on it. It's the Synthetic Grass (fake). It's designed to look real. It's NOT carpet like some people seem to believe.

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

Budgets are vastly improved I have actually done about 5 sims past 2021 today. The last sim I tried manipulating the budgets by renewing all A prospects at 2 million and making sure there were no cheap long term arbitration signings. By 2021 I bankrupted about 2/3 the teams...lol. I am going to try and not play god too much. By just letting the CPU do their thing there was no problems, for those people about to freak out.

I have found great ways to manipulate the budgets now. Starting salaries and salaries in general are determined by potential. You can edit the potential up for some older players and drive salaries up, without affecting their stats are progression. I started a franchise by moving some B potential players to A.

I saved each year of my sim, because I was also looking at progression and regression and to be honest this is the part that I love the most. Franchise is truly dynamic now! I was thinking of the roster makers and Knight today. Working on a roster used to take the fun out of franchise because you could predict how players would develop. That is gone. In each sim, players regressed at different ages or different speeds. Check your emails if you get a player is starting to struggle...look out. I have seen players like Beltran drop from a 90 to a 77 in the first year, to dropping only to a 87 in a different sim. This goes for all players. I've seen trout start to regress at 26, 27 and the sims where he is a 99 still at 31.

Budgets seem to be capped now at 15%, I had wanted 13%, but this looks good. Teams are also decreasing budgets now as well. After year one there is a more direct correlation to record and budgets.

There are a few things that I would love to see still touched up that are kind of frustrating. I really believe there must be a bug with the Phillies and Yankees, they are always in rebuild mode and dump players no matter the record or time of year. Even if I get them to a normal strategy they are placing guys on the trade block and trading them that should not be. They also do not want to sign players in the offseason. I was always offering contracts for them.

The other thing is the trades. I have seen in the past the same player traded multiple times in a season, but nothing like this. I have seen players traded 5-6 times in a season and sometimes 3 times in the same day. There needs to be a modifier attached when a player is traded so they are not traded more than twice In a season. Teams get completed shuffled to just shuffle. Seems as if a team will trade a player to swap around the league and then trade back for the player they originally traded.

I really think rp are way too valued. I have seen two A players traded for a rp, that should be toned as well.

All in all it is great.

Im a little confused here, you say the CPU can be left alone to do their own thing, but at the end of your post you say the CPU goes hawg wild with the trading? Is it safe to say 30 team control will keep the phony CPU trading at bay?

Target Field = Pays their light bills

Geez that looks amazing. Incremental increase over the PS3 my ***, lol.

SaintJimbo, I really like that camera angle you got there with the batting view. I use the same custom one.

So Nick Livingston on his stream just confirmed that Intro Fly ins are those pictures of the City backdrops before the game starts. In case anyone hadn't already figured that out yet.

You also don't get those pics every single time either.
