Will we also be getting videos or is it just going to be the weekly streams?

Just got around to watching the stream. As good as the game was last year, this year is going to be even better. I'm always shocked at how they always seem to make a great game even greater the following year.

Wow, that was awesome! That's so much for the behind-the-scenes look! Best dev team!

It is natural for people to stand behind their purchases but so far truth is, PS4 is not far from PS3, not yet anyways.
(yes I have both)


One thing this thread and other feedback from other outlets is that MLB 15 is not looking as great as it normally does. It's early but normally there isn't this much disappointment and backlash, all the brown nosers here can say what they will but there is reason for legitimate concern.
The game will always be serviceable, but it has always been a step above, those days maybe coming to an end...

I disagree. I have both as well, and I tried playing for a few minutes on the new system, and then trying to play a few minutes on the old system. I will admit there isn't a huge graphics jump, but the gameplay isn't even close.

Knight, regarding weather, if you've already done the research for NY then you got Boston down too, as the weather is essentially the same. Thanks!

i never said all graphics dude. i said player models were exactly the same. lol

Graphics are cool for the first few weeks. After that, the Gameplay is what makes or breaks a game.

EDIT: I also think it's important to point out that the team that makes The Show is nowhere near the size of the team that makes Madden or 2K or FIFA, same goes for budget. They deserve more leeway and patience for accomplishing as much as they do, and putting out such a fantastic product.

Agreed, also i know Fifa has quite a few players in the game, but when it comes to NBA teams have 12 guys, no real "minor" leagues. Baseball has 25, 40 men rosters plus full minors to AA, a lot of models to re-do. Would love to see it but I can guess its a lot of work for not a lot of people.

Still not as cheap as Xbox one. You think Sony would at least match the price of its competitor

Why would Sony match its competitors price when the PS4 is still outselling the Xbox One even with its lower price?

Your loss, every game runs and looks way better on ps4, the controller is better, the OS is fast (Try going to the store on ps3 it's painfull, as are trophy syncing), ps3 has no party chat, streaming, share play, and on and on....GAme look way better in motion, I take it you have not played infamous, or drive club, it puts any thing on ps3 to shame. it's 399 not 500, and thats cheap for a new console.

You gotta buy a couple of games for the system so out the door you're looking at 500 at least. I'm gonna pick it up just don't see a major reason yet to get it. Ain't like the PS3 or the 360 are total trash and I have a decent backlog yet to get through.

I watched the whole video last night. I didn't think I would be able to sit through it all, but it was somewhat fascinating. I don't think most people can really appreciate what it takes to achieve something like this. Seeing that goes a long way to explaining why its not easy to 'just' change something. Everything hinges on something else, when you change one thing, you might have no idea what impacts it will have on other aspects of the game. Great job SCEA. To be this open and transparent with us is fantastic.

One thing I didn't directly see was if there was anything done with hits down the lines? I think the changes to ball physics and fielder speed/routes (and baserunner speed) might take care of this, but it always bothers me how most balls ripped down the lines end up being singles.

I cant find any word if they are going to fix fans player jerseys so they're wearing jerseys with actual player names and numbers, rather than always seeing the "PLAYER" #0 on them.

I think they have 15 scheduled streams. I could be wrong on the number, but they have a lot planned. They still have blogs coming as well.

I'm guessing this is some sort of licensing issue.

I'm curious, does it show Kershaw's curveball from the pitcher's perspective at any point in this video?

To touch on this.......I think this is happening because SCEA uses the average day/night temps......but I've been doing some research on weather underground and looking at the 7PM starts compared to the nighttime avg....it is off.
If anyone has a specific city they feel is way off...and would like to document this by checking the game time start temp and sending me the info...I will get it to SCEA and hopefully they can check on this.
I say this...because I know from experience...just saying...."it's not right" and actually giving data to show..."it's not right"...means a big difference in getting them to look and and possibly change things.

I did N.Y. by checking 4 days of each month and compiling the data....I've just been really busy to go through more right now...and time is tight(maybe even too late...) for them to look at this for '15.

I am working on a MATLAB code right now to quickly compile all the historical temperature data for each city. I should have it done by the end of the weekend...probably too late for this year's game but maybe could be used for next year.
