Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

Can someone look and see if David Price and Felix Hernandez pitching motion have been fixed please??

I second this question! The game always has Price with his pitching motion from like '08 in it, although it's significantly different now

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

Thought about another issue in the MLB 13 game and wondering if it has been addressed in MLB 14. I was thinking of starting my own thread, but to avoid the "Thread Nazis", I better ask it here.

Anyway, you know the invisible player problem in MLB 13. It happens at random times in the game when all of a sudden one of the fielders turns into the "Invisible Man". The player can still field the ball and the bug can easily be reset simply by entering into the "Replay" screen. Anyway for anyone who has an early release of MLB 14, have you seen the "Invisible Man" in the game or is this something that might have been fixed this season?

I hope it isn't fixed. It happened only rarely and it really cracked up me when the catcher was the invisible player...

I just compared slow-motion Hernandez and Price to these videos:

Price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ9h-9O91E8

Hernandez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGwzJKuEi0U

And while they're not perfect – for instance, Price looks like he's starting out with his body facing the 1st baseman in the game, where it looks like he's facing home to begin with in the video; Hernandez doesn't have quite nearly as much head movement in the game as he does in the video – they look pretty good to my eye.

Does Anibal Sanchez look normal in this game? In '13 he always looked...odd.

Awesome! So in this year's game Price does NOT bring his hands over his head during his windup? Thanks for the reply!

I'd need to double-check, but I don't think he did.

I played a CPU vs CPU exhibition game with Quick Counts. It doesn't look like you can save exhibition games.

What are the commissioner options for the Online Franchise Mode? Looking to setup a league with a buddy and want to look at what we can do. Thanks!

as far as what, online is not available yet so hard to say what really has changed

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

Ah. I just wanted to know what all options you had when you set up the league. What I'm really interested in is how the schedule works? Can you play any game on your schedule? Do you have to wait for your buddy to play a game before you can move on to the next game?

open schedule can play any game

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

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

Agreed. I remember last year someone posted a video on YouTube. It's just nice to see that every year they update player's batting stances and pitching styles. I mean that's what makes baseball really unique. Am I right?

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

When setting up an exhibition game, what are the time and weather settings? Is it still Day/Night and Sunny/Partly Cloudy/Overcast/Rain, or are there more possibilities? More specifically actual game times, like 1:30, 4:15, 7:30, and 8:00?


That's one thing I wish they changed; the Day/Night thing is pretty plain and dull.

This is a question for someone who has the new game. Does it have rivalry mode where you can create your own extended series.

Can anyone tell me if Avisail Garcia of the Sox face looks better than it did last year? Thanks!

Re: MLB The Show 14 Questions and Answers Thread

open schedule can play any game

Is this 100% factual? If so, that is a huge and underrated feature as no one wants wait on your commish to "advance" the league and whatnot. BTW, I'm not doubting you Hustlin, just asking the question.

yes a couple different way to setup scheduling, flex(auto) can set an amount of games to play in a certain amount of days or flex(manual) where commish can advance when needed or as stated open where any game on entire schedule can be played

Not that I can see...? You can set up a playoff though, which I guess would functionally be the same thing.

Nope. Day/Night. Clear/Cloudy/Overcast/Rain.
