Well April first is opening day so it would make sense for Sony to release MLB 14 The Show on that day.

Oh my God. We are getting the OFFICIAL release date tomorrow people! Why is there still speculation??

Can't anyone be patient for one more day?

Hey stop clogging the thread with your collective, "so and so just told me the release date is . . ."

1. Please try to stay on topic
2. Wait a day for the real answer
3. If you still need to tell us that you have some special place with the release date there is another thread with many of your proclamations. Thanks guys!

We've already been treated to that with PS3 but my guess is they can even take it a notch further on the PS4. I'd like to see hooking liners, balls down the line that hit the outfield wall, etc. Just physics we haven't been able to see due to limitations with the PS3. Third is collision detection. Obviously collisions at the plate are no longer allowed, but what about base runners sliding into fielders without the canned animation like on PS3 and how about outfielders colliding. It'd just be nice not to see guys morph through each other anymore. Finally is presentation but I don't really need to go into detail on that because it's all been said before.

As great as The Show is, what I bolded above is one thing that has really held it back for me. Hard hit ground balls down the line never die on their own in real life. They either hook down the line and hit the side boundary, or roll into the corner and bounce around. I'd say this applies to ground balls in the game in general. A typical ground ball single up the middle or in between SS/3B, 1B/2B should roll pretty deep into the outfield on an empty field. At Tampa Bay, a decent or better hit ground ball would not stop until it hit the wall.

I also think the outfields in the game are too small. Often times you get a base hit and the defender is there to field the ball almost right when it hits the outfield grass. Has kind of taken baserunning out of the game, you almost have to hit and run to advance a runner for 1st to 3rd on a single.

So no one can post at all until tomorrow then?


No one will have answers for anything until tomorrow, in a thread asking what you expect, I would imagine release date being part of info people would discuss, no?

Opening Day is actually the 31st, but close enough LOL

I expect a May release for PS4 and then much anger and rage. Not from me, just in general.
