No one other than Samit has seen the game, and he had just seen it. I actually had no intention of discussing it until the last minute, so I put Samit on the spot right before we started recording. It's extremely difficult for those of us who haven't seen it to speak to it, and in hindsight it was not the right forum for discussion. What I should have done is not mention it until the next episode, when most of us will have had hands-on time with it. I thought it would be fun to kick around for a bit, even though what Samit had seen was a preliminary build. I also cut off the discussion quickly, so that's also me. Looking back and considering the community's desire for any and all details, it was a poor decision by me to have this chat. It put all of us in a less-than-optimal place. Lesson learned! I put a lot of effort into making Press Row unique for people who love sports games, and it really bums me out when people are disappointed. I'll keep working to make it a better show.

Rich....don't even sweat it.
There is always a lot going on.....and with something unplanned....it's even harder to gather info.
Thanks for clarifying though

Sorry if you felt we were coming down hard on you guys.
My perception was that the podcast was unprepared and you just confirmed that.

I was pleased with the info that was relayed. So thanks for the show.

They really put on great podcast, Curahee.

If you're new, don't let this deter you. I listened to like an hour one night about NBA Live 14, and I don't (and will not!) own the game.

Like the VH1 Behind The Music of podcasts. Even stuff that shouldn't be interesting is captivating!

All I listened to was the 26 min that was The Show. The rest of it.... not my gig.

I'm excited and glad the panelists were eager to discuss MLB 14, and especially what's new in RTTS, but we really haven't released much of anything in-depth about what is new and different in the mode. They're mostly going off of bullet points and what sounds like a fairly brief discussion between Samit and Ramone, so don't blame them too much for being unclear about what something like emulating your player after an MLB guy will mean. I think they're just trying to get any and all info they receive out to the OS community ASAP, even if it's still sort of foggy.

With that said, we're obviously in the middle of rolling out developer blogs every few days, so you should definitely expect A LOT more info about RTTS in MLB 14: The Show, and all of our other features/modes, in the near future.

Thanks to all of you, including the panelists, for being so passionate about our game! It keeps us motivated during this time of year to put out the best game possible.

For some reason I can't like posts anymore, but thanks Kirby! Keep on doing what you do. Can't come out soon enough.
