So you enter the 2014 draft showcase, get drafted, decide you want to go to a 4 year college, come back and do the showcase and get drafted again... in 2014. Haha.


I get why they do it that way, but it would be cool if it actually advanced time, or gave you the option to.

I think another reason for this feature being set this way is for year to year saves. i may be wrong but I have a feeling this was done to factor into this feature some how

If it advanced time you have to think about how they would sim those years. Would it just be a rigid set advancement that SCEA came up with before hand (which would be the same for everyone) or would it do an actual sim like you would in RTTS. Not sure what other way they would progress time. Imagine sitting while a 4 years were simmed just to play the showcase again. That would make that feature almost worthless to everyone who didn't want to sit through that.

As a person that plays RttS 95% of the time I am so happy to hear the improvements to it. Also happy to hear Broadcast audio is put back in (with the option to turn it off for those that liked '13's version).

One question though, as this has always bugged me in RttS playing as a pitcher. Will RttS pitchers get credit for at bats (and even fielding) when those oppurtunitues come up? Like bunting a runner into scoring position, or RBI's, hits, HRs (and even scoring from a base)?

I had a game recently where I hit a HR (with a player on base) to go ahead 2-0 in the game, which ended up being the final score. It was such an epic moment for me but there was no fanfare, no excitement from the game. The game acted like it was a typical play. The end result was I only got 5 points for the Run. Also I got player of the game based off of pitching but not the 2 run HR? I thought that was weird (the team was pretty much hit-less during that game).

This updates are making it hard for me to wait it out till May, guess I might have to get all 3 versions (I really hope the pitch meter stutter is gone form Vita version this year)

Im not trying to be over critical and want to say outright that I really like the changes to RTTS this year and adding back in the commentary as a option.

My question is with the changes. In interviews its stated that they wanted to make changes to RTTS goal system because it wasnt realistic and didnt give the feeling they wanted.....so why were they ever in there in the first place? If it isnt realistic or fun or whatever, why did they have it in there for so long and then decide to change it after years of it being like that?

I looking forward to the new design and hope to spend a lot of time with this version. Thanks for the changes SCEA

New to MLB The Show and will be buying this year, quick question.

Do you have to play every game or can you sim individual games? Can you sim parts of games and enter whenever you want?

Im sure the original plan for being called up in RTTS involved the goals bc that was the easiest way to monitor progress and justify getting your player called up. I believe SCEA realized that this needed to change after years of hearing feedback about RTTS players having monster stats but failing to get promoted due to an "unnecessary" goal that wasnt met. I too, like the fact that they made it more realistic this year by dropping the goals and basing call-ups primarily on performance.

Cant wait to dig into it this week and transfer it over to the PS4 when it arrives in May. Good luck in your RTTS.

You play every game you're a starter or you're subbed in as a PH or RP but you don't HAVE to play it, you can sim any game you want (but I wouldn't recommend it) and you can choose to only bat during games if you're a fielder but no you can't enter whenever you want IIRC.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Road to the Show Developer Blog

The thing that upsets me the most is that salaries do not mean anything. I wish they would convert salary to training points because I always sign for close to nothing in order to play for many years with my team.
