Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

Has anyone with the game used Analog controls, and if so, any difference as to how hitting/pitching/throwing is in 14 compared with previous years?

Has anyone with the game used Analog controls yet?

I don't see those luxury boxes? Press boxes? Its just bleachers all the way up. I'm thinking no.

What a bummer.

So a bit selfishly:

Did the last name "Yocum" make it in for audio on player creation?

I'm pretty sure that I was able to get it in to the thread to try to get it in this year (after several years of meaning to, wanting to, and ultimately forgetting to come around and sign up in time). I was just wondering if by chance I got it in in time before the cut off. Thanks.

I didn't even know that was a thread, I am going to have to look for next years.


Has anyone tried changing positions yet in RTTS, any details on how they changed that?

Does the Show have rain delays and make up games or double-headers?

Can we get a video going through the batting stances and pitching styles? I'm curious to which player's have updated batting stances and pitching styles this year.

I dont think this year, I do believe it's on the list for 15, but Russell needs to confirm.

This is something I'm interested in as well. By Tuesday, most interested people will have the game so I doubt anyone would post a video like that, but I have to wait for the PS4 version, and it'd be cool to know

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

Not sure if this question has been asked yet or not, but will players portrait's still disappear when that player is traded to another team?

I understood the concept of the idea when it was implemented into last years game, but I honestly can't get used to seeing player models instead of portraits during long seasons. It really doesn't look as authentic and bothers me quite a bit.

I realize this is an aesthetically small gripe to have and I am possibly the only one who thinks this way, but I believe this can be accomplished in a different manner.

Same as last year I am sure. Brett Hayes below.

Still nada on regression? Help, por favor!

It was mentioned in improvements by Ramon, that regression had been tuned once again this year, so players dont drop as fast as they did last year.

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

I had a great idea. Imagine if you could watch live simulations of actual real time games in The Show Live. It would be like MLB.TV but with CPU vs CPU The Show simulations. I think this would be a groundbreaking idea we need to get to the programmers and it would be much better than the Gameday simulations. So my question is where is the best thread to post ideas for future versions?

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

Regarding what you can buy with stubs, can anyone confirm if there are more things beyond these. I remember it being mentioned that there are 4x training point boosts which is also listed on the gamestop product page. So I'm curious if there are more than these offered. I know you can't purchase them yet though.

Also are the prices the same as this screenshot?

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

I actually DO have the game, and have the following questions, after 1st saying that I really do like this year's PS3 version, and will be buying PS4 as well:

1. Its a baseball sim..Why does the First baseman still hold runners on on 3-2, 2 out counts?

2. Why does the CPU hold every runner, all the time? NO ONE is going to hold Lucas Duda on first when Duda's team is down 5 runs.

3. In Spring Training, (Franchise) why does the CPU no longer make multiple position player subs?
Position players are playing the whole game, unless a double switch occurs?

4. Why do runners no longer go on 3-2, 2 out pitches?

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

1. In Diamond Dynasty, are vs. User matchups still random or can we invite friends to play?

2. Does the Braves tomahawk at Turner Field light up properly? In previous games, it only lit up during HR celebrations. IRL, it only lights up whenever the chop is played (usually during a rally and in sync with the drum).
