Yes that's correct it will only work starting next year with MLB 15. All the progress on 14 can be transferred over to 15. I think most people are getting the PS3 version to work on OSFM as those files can now transfer over.

Maybe I'm wrong on this but I'm almost 100% sure I saw where franchise files are compatible between ps3 and ps4. So one could buy the ps3 version start a franchise and then buy the ps4 and play the same franchise. can anyone confirm this?

I'm guessing that it will, because when the PS3 version of 07 came out a month or 2 later then the PS2 version, it had a proper version of Diasuke Matsuzaka. Where as the PS2 version had that created player look to him.

I think they do that because they have to play an official MLB game before SCEA can put their face (or likely-ness) in the game. By the time the PS4 version is released, I'm pretty sure Tanaka will have played at least one game by then. So he SHOULD be in the game, of course the keyword is "should". lol

You might be right. I think I had it all backwards. My bad I thought it was only roster files.

Yup, pretty sure Ive read about 15 times in this thread that you can start a franchise on ps3 and carry it right over to ps4 when it releases.

@ jibbler yeah man i was wrong I misunderstood the file transfers. You CAN do both Roster and Franchise file that will transfer over to any of the 3 consoles.

well hope everyone is right, if that's the case I will buy the PS3 version probably digital copy and play around for a bit then when ps4 comes out all the files and everything I already have, so that would be great

Is there video on Mr Russell's presentation? I feel like he's very charismatic (this is the first video i've seen of him) and would like to watch it!



also, I feel like people are reading through this thread before reading the articles/seeing all the screenshots of the game... lol
