[smiley3]

Re: MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

I just can not get over all the "little things" that have been added to the PS4 version



1. Completely re-done catcher animations suite (over 150 all-new catcher animations)

2. Left-handed infielders

3. New baserunning paradigm (New animation core and logic)

4. CPU plate discipline logic has been re-written

5. Completely re-worked Plate Coverage Indicator (PCI)

6. Japan League-style and slap-hitter swing types (PS4 Only)

7. Team specific, player specific, team generic crowd signs

8. Over 350 new fielding and batting animations

9. New pickoff cameras

10. Bat and Ball Boys

11. Pitcher picking up and throwing down rosin bag

12. New assortment of organ recordings

13. Over 350 new fielding and batting animations (PS4 Only)

14. New dynamic catch position indicator for fielding

15. New dynamic gameplay cameras for batting and fielding

16. Intro Fly-Ins (PS4 Only)

True Broadcast Presentations (PS3 & PS4 Only) - The Show’s presentation crew has taken on a tall task for MLB 14: streamlining the game while enhancing the reality and increasing the variety of the experience. Pace of play is a focal point for the team as we strive to immerse the user in an even more engaging simulation. Heavy emphasis has also been placed on the stadium environment to feature the upgraded crowd actors, jumbotrons, LED boards, dugouts, specific stadium audio and a more engaged, responsive and unique crowd.



-On the commentary side, the three-man booth of Matt Vasgersian, Eric Karros and Steve Lyons return for their second season together. This year's title will emphasize the three announcers in a more interactive, conversational style, yet will also continue to mine the world of baseball to find intelligent, timely and compelling commentary concerning today's teams and players. The overall goal is for the game to get deeper, and for the announcers to better adapt to changing game conditions -- including rising the enthusiasm level when the situation dictates.

What's #12 can you explain?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

me too, I hope this is for the vault as well, it really desperately needs a search function trying to find something is impossible unless you know the persons PSN

It's for in-game roster searches, bit that would be a great addition to the vaults too! *note taken*

You can search players by different categories other than name/position which is cool.

Maybe a reach but....

I don't think they mentioned pitch counts being on the scorebug now, but we already know it is in the game based on the videos from Taiwan.

So maybe there a few other small things like that that weren't mentioned.

Yeah, there are a couple (big) things that weren't mentioned, that I assume will be covered in a developer diary.

Organ music. New organ music.

That was so much cleaner than what I was going to say.......

Re: MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

SO Ive read the entire thread, as I do before making my first comments on threads like this. Loving the features they have added. Theres a solid amount of upgrades that just make this an amazing game. First a big thank you to the dev team and Mr Russel for their work.

I dont like kissing ***, but have never really shied away from being a MLBTS fanboy. I gave MLB 13 a bit of a hard time due to some major fundamental changes in RTTS and Guess Pitch. The option for broadcast in RTTS is great, but player lock would have been an acceptable comprimse, but both, thats cause for an ovation for the extra mile and customer experience. So thank you

Im not alone and my interests dont line up to many others but MLBTS is a year round hobby that isnt a borderline obsession but full on lifestyle. I spend my free time thinking about, creating and living in a MLBTS world. The GF accepts it so I dont care what anyone else thinks.

RTTS Improvements
Year to Year saves
Player Lock (a feature I remember asking for long ago is going to truely change my gaming experience)
Franchise Improvements

• Dynamic Potential for RTTS Player
• New injury presentations
• New Player Search feature
• Ability to hire/fire coaches in mid-season
• New player contract logic that mimics real life
• New overall and potential formula
• Editable potential

The features above in red are my fav bullet points they will add the most depth to the way I play

• New RTTS Player Creation options, including the ability to model your skills, appearance, and signature animations after a real MLB player
• Easier trade requests (RTTS)
• Easier position changes (RTTS)
• Notification system that keeps you connected to your team and league.
• CPU plate discipline logic has been re-written
• Pitcher can now bring up pitch history using L3 (same effect as R2 for the batter)
• New pickoff cameras

These are my next group that are nice additions.

I wonder if lefty catchers will be in or just lefty infielders

Re: MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

I don't think there is MOM in online franchise.

something close

• League members can now manage games on TheShowNation.com (Online Franchise)

I think you may be taking that out of context.

No on actually managing games online......
I'm pretty sure it meant to say managing your team transactions...
(which is sweet!)

Yes, there is a first time for everything but if you look at it logically, since a CAP is a generic creation, then that option should undoubtedly be available for SCEA creations.

I was looking for a probable answer more than just an opinion anyway...

I don't think they locked out the chance of a left handed IF'ers.....but I'm pretty sure they made the chance really, really low.
But who knows...they may have only made it for player creation.

Not even that....it probably means setting lineups, doing front office stuff and such.

I'm pretty sure you are correct.

I really hope we can see more stats from year to year in franchise, that will help a lot with seeing what kind of guys I want to go after in free agency. It'd be kind of cool to see "stats" for rookies entering the draft too, to see where they are strongest.

I believe that for online franchise...they have stated that the stat tracking was advanced.
For offline franchise...I just hope we can see season stats in post season...

Contract extensions mid-season were not mentioned either. I'm hoping the dev blogs will confirm it.

Hallelujah Jesus! Editable potential! I feel this will save a ton of time making rosters. Thankyou SCAE!

YES!

Just FYI...since it's "out".....it's in the editor on a 1-99 scale......available for any player.

This alone is worth a hundred bucks.

See...they do listen!

Like tabarnes asked.....I hope the online trade logic improvements are also in the offline franchise.(since there is no MoM for online....so I can't really take advantage of the online only improvements).....

I believe there was also a new addition to budgets(at leas they were working on it.)

Hopefully Ramone or Aaron or Luis could comment on it!

Looking forward to '14!

I noticed you quoted me, but didn't respond to it. Was it supposed to be like that, or are you waiting on SCEA to respond?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

Pretty nice list of improvements for a year when sony had to work on a 3-headed monster.

As a presentation/franchise guy i am excited for the changes there.

- Sounds like commentary took a much needed upswing.
- hire/fire managers is absolutely nice.
- cant wait to see pics of the new UI
- the assistant gm notification system. this could be helpful in seeing whats going on around the league. last years ticker was a good idea, but not much info was there, plus it took forever to cycle through scores. hopefully the notifier is what i think it is.

this is the one i am curious about the most

• New pitcher/batter breakdown pop-up graphics

wonder if thats concerning the in game stat OSD'S?

all in all, nice work from SCEA. cant ask for much more in a 10 month cycle.the wish list just got smaller.

I am wondering the samething and I hope this means we finally are getting an improved Home Run popup Stat Overlay. You know the kind where it pops up while the batter is rounding the bases

Kind of Like this

So like 1-20 = F, 21-40 = D, 41-60 = C, 61-80 = B, 81-99 = A or something in that proximity?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

I think the emphasis on HR/power during the past couple decades lead to the decline of the type of players that use the style, but I remember quite a few slap-hitting speedsters back in the day. Vince Coleman, Brett Butler, etc. You could say Tony Gwynn was one as well.

I want to see how the hitting style is implemented, but I'm really glad to see this coming to the game.

I could be wrong but a few years ago I had a talk with Knight and Russell. I believe the potentials are more in line with a grading scale in schools. By that I mean that to be a "A" rated player was more around 92/94 + "B" was in the 80's "C" was in the 70's and "D" was in the the 60's and "F" was anything below 55/60.

Now don't quote this as gospel because it has been a while, just trying to share some knowledge.
