all 30 stadiums built from scratch.
might mean no minor league/spring training stadiums on the 4?

The option to speed the game up is great, but it will remove events that happen in actual MLB games. Mainly putting the first ptch of an at bat in play. Its something tha happens over 10% of the time in the MLB. Its a sacrifice that I hope I can make as I really like the idea of quick counts to speed up the game. But I would of sacrificed an extra few minutes to get a 0-0 count once in a while.

You will also get 0-0 counts using quick counts.

Ramone specifically said it would not.

Fyi

Here are all the counts you will see using quick counts Every ball 3 count: 3-0, 3-1, 3-2. Every strike 2 count: 0-2, 1-2, 2-2 (3-2 already counted). Every strike 1 count: 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, (3-1 already counted). 9 counts, out of a possible 12.

and again, Quick Counts is a selectible OPTION, it's never forced on you.

Good to see a "slimmed" down CC in this screenshot from the Trailer:

Regarding the May release! CP was kind enough to reply.

I understand that, I want to use it and most likely will. But I also want situations where the first pitch is put in play. That will never happen with QC's which is a bit dissapointing to me, but its understandable.

a 2nd question, I like to play spring training and use it to help set my sliders, are sliders at least going to be similar if I do spring on the ps3 and transfer to the ps4 or am I going to have to start all over and recreate all new sliders

PSNation-
I don't remember there being much detail given regarding actual gameplay. Could you give information or a run down of how the gameplay (ball-physics, differences in "feel" from 13-14, specific camera angles, etc.) has been improved or changed in your opinion?

Why did they wait so long to start working on the PS4 version?

Metswin-

OK so you are new around here. I get it. This is the most passionate fan base of any game that I play, so I understand your disappointment. I think that I will trust SCEA, and be happy that a May release date means a better product. Nobody is bowing to SCEA. We are critical at times when it is warranted, but to each his own.

In person, I'm actually not a jerk. Really! I know that, in the grand scheme, a game releasing in May instead of March is not a big deal, and you're right, it probably will lead to a better product. But you are right about the passionate part. I'm 35, and The Show is the one game that can still make me feel like a kid. Kind of silly, but true. No more negative posts from me today, guys.

Quick counts are a nice addition. ASB '05 had this feature, and remains the only baseball video game that I have been able to play all 162. If I recall, you could do "Random" (which had some issues if I remember correctly), but you could also define a select generated count that would apply to every batter. I ended up using a 2-1 count. That at least gave you one pitch to steal or bunt, but still really sped up the game.

Sorry, I read your post as 0-strike counts. My bad.

I'm so happy I could cry from joy. The sleeves have finally been fixed in the PS4 version!
