Definitely liking the new menu layout. Wonder how online franchise will work. Wonder if it will be like Maddens online CCM mode where you can do things such as trades and player progression from your phone/tablet/pc.

Oh sure, The Show does it and it's the best thing ever. NCAA Football 14 does it, and everyone hates it.

Are community challenges going to be like NHL live moments or Madden moments? Or are they going to be challenges literally made by the community to challenge other gamers? I hope it is the former not the latter. A feature like nhl live moments in baseball would be very tough. They could have you earn points completing them (either repeating history or going against it). They could have a certain amount from last year and then update it each week like Madden does. I guess we can only wonder for now.

Personally, I "don't like it" as of this moment. It reminds me of most tablets and the Xbox menus. It will be "user-friendly" on Vita, but I like the linear look of things more than these tile layouts.

Doesn't make it bad, but I don't think this is any more streamlined than before.

But if it means anything, The Show seems to have done it better. Every tile is more congruent, within each tile are the options for that mode, and there is a bottom line to navigate to different areas of the menu. NCAA's is a bit off, and more like that Windows 8 crap that I despise.

I'm going to say he didn't play enough.
Commentary and presentation.
FWIW.

I think we knew we weren't getting a complete change....but I'm SURE it is not the same.

Did u have a chance to go into franchise mode? if u did, is there a relocation or rebuild a stadium ability?

I doubt it for the ps3 as I believe they were maxed out for space!

Doubt(for '14) is putting it mildly.

Not only that if the game had relocation/stadium builder that would fall under an Owner mode most likely and from the looks of it Owner mode isn't on the menu.

If it's like last year, SCEA throws a challenge out there every week and the winner gets a prize. Like, see how many HRs you can hit with Joe Mauer, and the prize was a signed Joe Mauer jersey. Or strikeouts with CC, and you get a CC jersey. They weren't always jerseys, those were just the two that stuck out to me.

That's not what he was asking, I don't think because it already says in the menu, "Challenge of the Week" and then elsewhere it says, "Community Challenges."

Welp, didn't see that.

Perhaps but I think you're jumping to conclusions far too early.

Highly doubt it. Just look at Knight's comments up above.

Re: Some MLB The Show 14 pictures (ps3)

I am cautiously optimistic about all this and will wait till I see more to have a better feel of it , I think its more like a demo of what it will look like and not anywhere like a finished look, JMO

In addition, the Show has real pictures of real players to add a more baseball like feel.

NCAA has solid colored tiles with boring mode logos.
