I also didn't see an option to view the boxscore after simming the game from the Franchise menu.

I presume you still can after hitting X.

In my experience with the show, low pitches sometimes barely out of the strikezone end up being in the dirt especially on 3rd strikes, overall the game looks super fun to play, the one thing i didn't like about the stream was when they talked about parity across ps4, ps3 and ps vita, i just dont understand why?

They did say they like to keep feature parity when they can. I don't think they're holding anything back on PS4 for the sake of PS3 and Vita. I do hope that devs for all games start focusing on the new gen much more. Seems like most of the ceilings have been reached on last gen consoles.

One more question if anyone knows, in the stream they talked about a new format for homerun derby, but i think they forgot about it so does anyone know what the new homerun derby will be like this year?

Interface
• You can now check your pitcher's energy while you are batting by pressing the d-pad. This will make it easier to decide whether or not to pinch-hit for a tired pitcher


You know one thing I wish they would do instead of just having an energy number would be to take something from an old game I used to play called Earl Weaver Baseball. To get an idea, beyond performance, of how a pitcher was doing you would do a mound visit. A window would pop up and you'd get a line from both the pitcher and catcher about how they felt. For example one I remember vividly. Pitcher: Arm Feels great. Catcher: He's got good stuff. But sometimes you'd get the pitcher saying he could fight through and the catcher saying he was done. It was really cool without just breaking it down to a number.

I would enjoy something like that a little more ambiguous. You would likely be able to check it while batting because the pitcher would be in the dugout.

Looking forward to this game on the PS4 this year. My first Show on the PS4.

Only thing I wish is you could pinch head ahead of time, am I correct in saying that you can can't pinch hit hafway through a AB? well on the Show I have always been able to pinch hit someone that might be 0-2 in the count and bring someone else in, that play I pretty sure is illegal to do

You can bring in a pinch hitter at any time of an at-bat....IRL as well as in the Show.

I do wish we could queue up our pinch hitters like we can a RP.....

I didn't know that I thought only if a player was injured.. but a RP must face 1 batter though right?


yeah that's where I was getting at too I wish we could queue up pinch hitting and a messages comes up saying are you still sure. in case you change your mind.

Yes...a RP must face one batter unless he is injured.

I have a question about the alternate uniforms particularly the selection. I'm hoping you can still pick the opponent's uniform as well as your own in a franchise game as well as exhibition game. I really have always liked that option in franchise mode in the Show! Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I don't remember seeing anything on the fact sheet about the uniform question I was asking about,sorry.

Its not very often something like that gets taken out.

"Licensed equipment will only show up in-game on PlayStation 4 this year, due to memory restrictions on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita" Friggg, kinda figured this would be the case. Now us sad ps3ers will have to look at the same old boring generic batting gloves and such. In my head i was thinking, if madden football on ps3 has the memory to show licensed equipment on all there players(nike gloves and cleats)why cant the show do the same.
