Man....it was a little hectic there.....it was early and we are playing off a server....so it wasn't the most stable...
I cannot remember how long you can set the parameters for(either attempts or innings/game etc....)
I'm sorry about that.
Since it's on that fact sheet....perhaps Ramone or Woodweaver can elaborate.(or if any of the other guys used it while there.....I think thaSlab did)

Oh no worries...I know how busy it can be for you guys. We'll find out eventually. I remember using a practice mode like that quite a bit in one of the EA titles.

Is there a limit on how long the situation can last? Meaning can I set it up for the 7th inning with bases loaded and 0 outs and then play through the rest of the game (extra innings if need be). Or is it limited to half an inning? Or just one batter?

I'm sure this will be covered in-depth at a later date (and it may have changed), but yes, you could absolutely string together events/innings/games. I had one set up where you had to score 2, 2-out runs in the bottom of the 9th, and then win the game in a 10th inning walk-off. Or you don't simple 1 batter challenges (e.g. break up a no-hitter with 2-out, 2-strikes in the 9th.)

I can't remember if there was a limit on the number of scenarios in a challenge.

This reminds me of the mode back in the ASB days which was awesome

I wonder if it's possible we will get commentary like you did in ASB??

Does the player lock and the custom challenges apply to The Show Live as well?



Would be cool, if let's say a player is going for a career milestone in hits and he needs about 3 hits to get it, if you could go to The Show Live, have his career stats up to the day, then play the game in player lock as only him, then have a custom challenge to get 3 hits.


Also does the player lock let you field, and does it fast forward until you are going to make a play, or can you have it set up so let's say you player lock onto a third basemen like David Wright and then you field as the third basemen even in plays you are not really involved in?



If both of these are in, it should make for a great game, especially with the next generation graphic increase and extra details.






Edit: Also any chance on having varying cup sizes in create a player or edit a player, or having the players have authentic cup sizes on the PS4 version?

Hopefully it starts outside the stadium in aerial view and takes you inside the stadium and pans around. Could be really nice to set the tone of the start of the game.

Made me love Triple Play '98. Was such a cool happening, especially for a PSX game way back then.

Them Anaham Angels!

The PS2 versions of The Show had things like this as well. They were alright. Cool that they were there, at least. I'm hoping in this version, it's seamless and just a part of the overall graphics, instead of some different kind of rendering.

Man... The stuff people pay attention to.



The only cup I care about is the one with beer in it.

Well you're not mr9inches, are you? You're just... Bobhead.

I'm really excited about the crowd variations this year. 1,000 sounds like a lot, but if you think about it that's just a little more than 30x30. Wow, I wonder how many it will take before you truly won't ever even notice any two models are/animate the same.

I think that's the biggest problem... if all 1,000 animate differently, that would be nice. Heck, it would be cool if it wasn't always "the green shirt guy doing this." I think it would help conceal any loops of any kind.

This may be overkill & it might not be possible, but I'd like to see pitchers' muscles strain while throwing the baseball. The photo of Bumgarner looks as if he's going to lightly toss the ball. Google image search Bumgarner & there's an identical real life photo of him in that motion & you can see his muscles straining.
Also, one thing that bothered me in the Show on PS3 was that the jerseys look like replica jerseys. Authentic jerseys have the athletic small holes & look differently. I would love to see better looking jerseys in the future. The logos on the hats are a little flat too but it's all nitpicking. I'm really looking forward to the game.

Haha touche... and I agree on the crowd. But also I think the animations could use more subtlety. Part of what makes those animation loops so obvious and repetitive is that the movements themselves are, frankly, weird as hell.

If the fans were more human-like and natural, it would not be nearly as apparent when an animation was re-used. They just have to choose those recycled animations more carefully. I don't think I would notice if 100 fans were all running on the same animation loop, if all they were doing was standing up... because standing up is a fairly ordinary mannerism.

But when 20 fans are all simultaneously rolling on the floor or shaking their arms randomly, gyrating like those giant balloon-people at car dealerships? Yeah, of course I can quickly tell it's the same animation.

...

• Universal Profile (PS3 & PS4) – A new tendency-tracking system monitors and records gamers’ unique playing styles. Those patterns are stored in the Universal Profile, which can be viewed by anyone looking to get a quick scouting report on the player. The Universal Profile can also be subbed in in place of a CPU opponent in Diamond Dynasty and Online Franchise, making for more realistic head-to-head matchups when schedules prevent synchronous play.
  
  ...
  
• Diamond Dynasty Extra Innings (PS3 & PS4) – In this mode, a player’s team is always looking for opportunities to challenge other users in an offline setting, which allows the user to earn bonus rewards the next time they log in. When online, the player has the opportunity to challenge other user-created teams in an offline game where the CPU controls their team. Players can only benefit positively in this mode even if their team does not perform up to their normal standards.

These are what piqued interest of mine most. I know OS isn't a place for online The Show gamers, but for someone who has played a ****load of online games this year, these look very interesting additions... not to mention I actually wanted to see something similar implemented (playing against your own tendency). Not sure why this needs to be tied to online though. Perhaps in future, there will be a "player profile vault" or something so that you can play offline games against Knight's playing tendency, for example... That kinda sounds interesting, hahaha...

There are 3 things, with an optional 4th, I would like in MLB '14 that have yet to be announced, but that could happen Monday:
1. Contract Extensions mid-season
2. Historic Teams
3. Dedicated Servers for Online play
4. (Optional) Upgrade discount from the PS3 to PS4 version. Buying the PS3 version at full price should get me the game on PS4 for $10-15?

If we get these three things, plus with everything else that has and will be announced, the game will be perfect! I have no problems with the PS4 release date as it looks BEAUTIFUL!!!

Re: MLB 14 The Show Mini-Fact Sheet (Vita, PS3, PS4) Online Franchise Confirmed PS3 &amp;

I really hope they expanded the amount and tracking of stats. I have been hoping for years that they would add stat tracking between seasons and add more stats in general. Playable single A teams would be awesome as well, but I am not going to hold my breath on that, it is only the first year on ps4.

I wouldn't count on historic teams. That like many other things costs $$$$$$$

True, but it is possible. Anything is possible. If there are no historic teams I won't be angry or anything. The game will still be perfect if we get the other 2/optional third.
