MLB 14 The Show: Road to the Show Better Than Ever

[TheFlamingWeazel]

I was really disappointed in RTTS, sure the goals and draft process are way better, but it is the same dull, shallow grind with zero personality, franchsie also suffers from this. I dont feel a part of a league, I have no control over anything, money is useless..Why if I want a trade, and I am a superstar do tey never listen? Why cannot I sign endorsements deals? why dont I get tweets from fans/family based on my play? Newspaper articles.? This games needs a fresh coat of paint. Dont get me wrong I LOVE the show, gameplay is great, but does anyone else feel everything else feels so stale?

Clearly, you're comparing to the MyPlayer Mode in 2K. I could do without a lot of that stuff; yeah, it'd be nice, but I know how little time the dev's have between games and the last thing I want is resources spent on coming up with fake Twitter messages. If the core of the game and mode were completely solid, then sure go for it; but I'd much rather have flawless gameplay. I remember back in the day playing much less technologically advanced baseball games where I used to imagine all the ancillary stuff (e.g., storylines, rivalries, off-the-field stuff, etc.). LOL at how far our expectations have come!

I was drafted by the Padres in the 1st round my second go around. First time it was by the Angels. I'm a lefty 1st baseman. I was fast tracked to AAA after about 25 games or so, just destroying the ball. Took a bit longer, but I'm in the show now towards the end of my 1st year. I imagine I'll get an invite but go back to AAA to start, but who knows. I have to say this has been up there with 09 for my favorite of the series thus far. I was disappointed in the 13 version, no commentary in RTTS was VERY disappointing. But, being able to carry over saves from year to year makes me even more excited to keep on playing both RTTS and Franchise.

RTTS is what keeps me coming back to the show. Progression seems to be much improved. I wish the load times were better...at least on the PS4, it's a full minute or more every time I jump into a game. Sometimes if I'm just a pinch-hitter, it takes longer to load than it does to play. That's got to get fixed for me to go to the 2015 edition.

I have been drafted lower after going back, but it was when I first got the game and was messing around with it. My RTTS that I am doing now I didn't go back to school and was drafted 12th in the first round.

And you performed better the 2nd time in the Showcase? If so, that is a nice touch to being drafted. Something else the player must consider. I only see this affecting someone, who thinks they ware going to carry the RTTS in future editions.

I used to think that NBA 2k held the crown for career modes.....

Until I played RTTS this year.

I'm having so much fun with my CF it's unbelievable. The atmosphere, commentary, progression, attention to detail...it all makes for an extremely immersive game mode. And the fact that i'll be able to actually FINISH a career thanks to carryover saves makes it that much more awesome.
