so all the spring training/ minor league BPs are the same as on the PS3 or were some of them redone as well?

in general I dont get why the community didn't pressure SCEA into including 2 versions of MLB BP with retractable roof already long ago? I mean I would much rather have those in the game than classic, spring training or all the minor league parks..

I am not sure what a hardcore gamer means. If a hardcore gamer means someone who knows all the ins and outs of the nitty gritty details of MLB, then I am definitely NOT hardcore (though SCEA's The Show title has definitely helped me learn some of these details). But if hardcore is more like "spends many hours playing the game". Then I guess I am sort of hardcore.

I watched Russell's interview and it was good. It backed up what I already suspected that the MLB14 PS3 version would not offer a lot of new to me on how I play the game. But the MLB14 PS4 + future releases of MLB on the PS4 will offer a lot of eye candy that the PS3 can not provide. I was a little surprised to hear RTTS was the most popular mode. I always thought Franchise play was the most popular. If I had more free time, I too wouldn't mind trying out RTTS. But the way I play the game (MoM in Season Mode where I don't rush my games trying to mirror the real world schedule as close as possible) takes up plenty of what free time I have to play the game.

I would like to see MoM improved to the point where "Hit and Run" actually works, and where sometimes you can actually pick off the base runner at 1st base if they take too much of a lead. Not once in the 220+ MoM games I have played in MLB13 have I ever been able to pick off the base runner, though the CPU has picked my guys off. But since there is little chatter that these issues have been addressed in MLB14, I assume they will remain as is, which is not ideal, but also not a show stopper. I just hope SCEA keeps MoM and keeps the dugout camera view (I know not everyone likes it, but I like it) and keeps the AI defensive adjustments they way they work now after one of the MLB13 patches fixed them in the middle of last season. I know I am in the minority of how I play the game. But I enjoy SCEA's MoM and I would be really disappointed if they were to take it away.

One stadium a week is a LOT of work, SanDiego Studio deserves much commendation.

Everyone strives for perfection.......................you're just going about it the wrong way.

I doubt the Dev that makes the fans is the same Dev that makes the stadiums.
And the Dev that makes the stadiums is no the same Dev that makes the Players.
