Loving everything that's being reported. A bit bummed about the PS3 release date but it's no big deal really.

Just a quick question, things like bat and ball boys/girls, the crowd catching foul balls and holding signs, is this on both PS3 and PS4 versions or just the PS4?

It appears that the player models didn't change.. Is this the case? Players all have the same arms and body types. That's my only disappointment. I thought they'd implement a lot more body types.

One more question

So there will be a Bat Boy for each team and also Ball Boys or Ball Girls down each base line? The Phillies only use ball girls so does this mean in the game they would also only use girls and not boys?

And is this all done in realtime or cutaways?

And do the ball girls look like her?

**** the game can I just get her?!

Re: PS Nation - MLB 14 The Show Hands-On Report (PS3/PS4)

Yeah that would be cool, but i remember Russell saying in a post on here a bit ago that with throwing in the odd 0-0 or any random count (1-1, 1-0) didnt really speed the game up and that was the goal of quick counts

maybe there's an opportunity for there to be a difference between "quick counts" and "generated counts" for future games? Generated sacrifices a little bit of of the quickness, but uses the same algorithm, but just includes the possibility of all counts?

It could be one of the pre-game options where you choose: Full, Quick or Generated.

I've also noticed that it seems like all of the glove types will end up being the same as it was in previous gen.

Does anybody know if two player locks can be used?

For example, me and my buddy love creating our own guys. If we created our guys and put them on the same team in franchise mode(co-op), would we be able to player lock our own guys or can we only player lock one player at a time?

I just copied and pasted a post from knight in another thread. Hopefully this will answer your question.

"When you start a game(any mode I believe...I know it's in franchise games) you get to choose from 1-3(it was 1-3 in November) players to use.(I think you can switch them on/off....not sure if you can change which ones after you begin)
It is like the RTTS play for the game with that player(s)...and you can either just be involved in his plays or be involved in his plays and watch everything else play out(your teammate AB's from the dugout)...

I forget fielding...but I believe it's like RTTS.

Pretty cool actually as you can now create a player ...(yourself let's say) MLB ready and use him exclusively....!

Can't wait for the PS4 version. It will only get better and better with each new iteration.

Questions:

1. Are numbers on the backs of players jerseys , w/o names, centered on the PS4 version? On the ps3 for example jersey numbers are really close to the belt for teams w/o last names on them. i.e. NYY

2. Does anyone else think the walls at Fenway Park need to be a different shade of green or darker?

Nitpicking! Sorry! lol

I guess we should realize though, more visual polish + stadium upgrades will come later down the road. Right now is getting the basics and fundamentals running well on the new system.

The roster files across all three platforms are compatible with one another.

This is such awesome news.....really cool!!!

Re: PS Nation - MLB 14 The Show Hands-On Report (PS3/PS4)

With the saves is that just for roster files?? or every file like franchise? so I could start a franchise on ps3 and just go to ps4 whenever it comes out??

Yes the roster files are compatible across all 3 platforms. The Franchise saves I believe is for the PS4 only, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

so a franchise file would only work for next year?


if that is the case no point buying the PS3 version really the only way I am now going to get the PS3 version is if I can continue my franchise with the PS4

Thanks for your response, but it still doesn't really answer my question of whether or not two players can be player locked at the same time.
