MLB 14 The Show Features Online Franchise - New Screenshots and Videos From Taiwan

Re: MLB 14 The Show Features Online Franchise - New Screenshots and Videos From Taiwa

well the last two years we have been told how the PS3 version was maxed out, so I would assume they fine tune gameplay and any new features (online franchise) would be saved for the PS4

I think the phrase "the PS3 is maxed out" gets misunderstood.

Its maxed out to the point that they cant do anything more to it graphically.
Like add more defined hair and more crowd models and more uniform slots and retractable roofs or stadiums with crystal clear definition.

They can however add more features which is evident in what theyve been able to do for the last few years, including this year with Online Franchise and Quick Counts.

PS3 is not dead yet my friends. Dying? YES! Dead? NO!

Actually they are to the point where they have to think about what they can put in feature wise. Basically something has to go/replaced in order for something to be added in many cases.

What has been removed in the last 3 years that has afforded them the ability to add the new features they have added?

MLB12 they added DD. What was removed?

Last year they added 7 new MiLB stadiums, Extended DD and added TSL.
What was removed to make room for all that?

This year they added Carry over saves, OF and QC, what has been removed?

I am not talking about the past 3 years, talking now and into the future. As far as online franchise, the show already has a franchise mode so they are not doubling up. Plus, I am sure a lot of that is going to be on their servers.

We can save this conversation for later in the season.

OK, but I am. That was the conversation Nem. As Hustlin said , "The last 2 years".
The conversation for the last few years has been that the PS3 is maxed out.
And my contention is that it is maxed out on graphics, not necessarily in adding more features.

They have consistently added new features every year without deleting any.
If it were maxed out like that, this game would have been dead after MLB11.

Sorry but it doesn't work that way, Last gen sales have stagnated, even software is drastically down, often even with less install base, new gen sales are higher, people are ready for a new gen the last one lasted too long. (Gt6 is a good example)

You cannot expect devs to split time and water down the ps4 version because some are not going to jump to next gen right away. people who paid 399 for a ps4 deserve a game that is not held back by outdated tech.

Sorry, but you're wrong. And I wouldn't expect a watered down PS4 version either.

Fact remains, there are still more PS3s in homes than PS4s... I happen to have all three, and will own all 3 versions, but I know that is not the case for everyone. So I don't expect them to have deal with a stagnant game because WE made the jump already.

So yeah... LOL.

Not sure if there is enough time but the signs at Minute Maid left field are being moved before the 2014 season.

I've already mention this to them. Not to say it will make it in... This is what it looked like (the actual ballpark) as of this past weekend:

Well there are a lot of issues that have been cited as being directly related to hardware limitations on PS3 that are not at all related to the graphics engine. I don't remember all of them, but one that I feel like was stated as being hampered by the PS3 was the notion of saving detailed historical stats year over year in franchise or other modes.

But for the most part you're correct, the PS3 isn't hampering features to be added. It might be a factor in determining what features can be added to The Show though since they know it would need to work on PS3 and PS4. Until they cut the leash on PS3 their decision making for future features might be limited to "What can the PS3 do? The PS4 can obviously do whatever that can."

Let us not forget that some of the dirt at various stadiums does not match the real life dirt to a T. Oh, and Toronto has the wrong color blue.

You can sit there and act humble but if your yankee blue wasn't a true representation of the jersey of legends who wore it before now, it would taint your vision and be a constant annoyance.

What if the NY jerseys were Pitch Black or Royal Blue instead of dark blue?
I myself haven't been one here to constantly remind the SCEA team about it because I don't have to, (beating a dead horse) but come on, instead of looking at it as "more people complaining" perhaps put yourself in those shoes and understand why.
A uniform is the essence of the team, the players themselves. If something does not get in the way (style guide) and can be fixed people have the right to express displeasure in a reasonable manner.
I don't recall anyone saying "This game is crap or im not buying b/c of the shade of blue"

My little conspiracy theory is that SCEA is holding up on any announcements until Sony patches the ps4 to play mp3's.

14's feature set includes SOTS so if SCEA released information before the console is patched to allow it it would kinda let the cat out of the bag.

Sony has to make the first move here.

It's possible (though unlikely) that the release date could be pushed back to account for this, but I highly doubt that they're holding back all information simply because of this one feature.

All they would have to do would be to not mention Sounds of the Show until the patch was released/announced.

There's no room for rational thoughts in my theories.

The other part of my theory is this schedule that Russell has referred to is all or nothing.

I'm just writing my own story over here.
