Directional Hitting Interface
(PS3, PS4, VITA)
Featured for the first time in MLB 15 The Show is the new Directional Hitting interface, which allows you to influence the direction of your hits in real-time while you swing. Using the L-Stick, you can attempt to influence fly balls, ground balls, pushed hits, pulled hits, or any of those in combination. The most success will be had by swinging at pitches that are conducive to the hit direction you are aiming for. Outside pitches are better for hitting to the opposite field, while inside pitches are best for pulling. If no direction is pressed with the L-Stick, it’s just like using the old Timing Hitting interface. Like never before, Directional Hitting allows you to play into each hitter’s strengths and utilize the strategies of proper situational hitting.


Franchise Mode Refresh
(PS4, PS3, VITA)
With the addition of General Manager Contracts, you now have to consider Ownership Expectations when running your team, and your performance will determine the job offers that come your way. Building a championship-caliber team is more fun and dynamic than ever before, with the new Performance-based Player Progression, as well as much improved Trade and Contract logic. Partner up with Brand Sponsors, giving your broadcast elements an official sponsor and earn some extra dough to spend on your team.


Players and teams get Personality: Aesthetics and Emotion
(PS4 & PS3 Only)
Players on the field get improvements to show their individuality. (Necklaces, Tilted caps, etc..) Real-time situational/emotional AI scenes (dugouts, crowd, etc..) have also been added, and more Team and Player celebrations.


“Inside The Show” News Suite
(PS4, partial PS3)
Franchise, RTTS, and Season modes all feature a new suite of features centered on providing news updates from around the league. Inside The Show is a new radio broadcast that will be heard at the beginning of each new day and will discuss recent scores, notable performances, team news, milestones, records, standings, and more.


Diamond Dynasty Distilled
(PS4 & PS3 Only)
Diamond Dynasty is melted down to its core. Now driven by just a handful of systems, it is much more accessible and less daunting to manage. Driven heavily by a new collection based management system, everyone is building a Diamond Dynasty team just by playing any mode in MLB The Show.


New Slide Step System
(PS4 & PS3 Only)
Perform a slide step while pitching to combat pitchers with a slow delivery to the plate, or runners who consistently get great jumps. This “game within a game” creates a risk/reward factor when performing a slide step. The pitcher will now have less control and slightly less velocity when a slide step is executed, but will be quicker to the plate. As a runner, you now have to worry about your opponent using a slide step when you are attempting a steal.


Legends
(PS4, PS3, VITA)
We partnered with the MLB Player’s Alumni Association to make a total of 30 Legends playable in MLB 15 The Show. Collect an entire MLB team, and you’ll unlock an iconic alumni player from that team. There’s one from each team, and though you’ll have to find or unlock the card to slot them into your Dynasty squad, you can simply opt in to utilizing the whole pool of Legends in your Franchise mode.

(PS4, PS3)
I have a Ps3 but im undecided if i want to purchase a Ps4 for MLB 15 The Show .Some suggests to me the new features may not move the needle that much .to warrant a upgrade.I really like to hear people opinion on this.

[Ghost Of The Year]

If money isn't tight, I'd do it. I still play the ps3 Show for SotS.
I just transfer my file back and forth from my ps3 & ps4, & occasionally mix in my Vita Show, from time to time.
If money is tight, nothing wrong with 15 on ps3 for another year IMO

[sydrogerdavid]

I decided to upgrade right after the fact sheet came out because it said that low stirrups were only going to be available on the PS4. That's really what pushed me over the edge.

It also helps that I did try out MLB 14 on my RD's PS4 when it came out last year, so I already knew that the game played great and Busch Stadium looked much better on PS4.


Another reason I upgraded was because there were already games that I wanted to try (Shadow of Mordor, NBA 2K15) and I there were going to be games in the future that I'd want (Uncharted, Star Wars Battlefront).

And other than DLC for my old games, there just wasn't any reason to continue buying games for my PS3. After MLB 14, I knew I was done.

[My993C2]

I upgraded last season and have no regrets. As good as the PS3 was, the PS4 is better.

[CaseIH]

I was actually planning to stick with 14 and not buy 15 for the PS3, but my wife surprised me a week ago, and we trade the PS3 in for a PS4.


Id say if you have the money its definitely worth the upgrade. Im sure 15 will be good on the PS3, but if its anything like NBA2k was, there was a major difference between the PS3 version and the PS4 version.


I have no doubt the MLBTS devs put forth more effort into the PS3 version this yr than what the NBA2k devs did with the old console game this yr, as it wouldn't take much to beat them guys out , they basically did nothing, while making people think they did,smh, but the MLBTS devs aren't like that, they typically do right by people, so if your not able to upgrade to the new console, Id say MLBTS15 will still be improved this year over last.

[geisterhome]

I feel that The Show 15 will be everything what 14 should have been, that said it's not the worst time to get it on the PS4. But a case could also be made for waiting till next year, after the devs had thier first real full developement cycle. I feel we are still in some kind of transistion period from last gen to current gen, which will be concluded next year.

You know your making some valid points make second guess if i want to purchase a ps4.

[countryboy]

If I was in your shoes, I would review the fact sheet and all the information that has been released thus far and watch the streams. If that information or those streams don't sway you to purchase the PS4 version then I would stick with PS3.

Those who are happy with the game on the PS4 are going to tell you to get it. Those who aren't will tell you to wait. Ultimately, those are just opinions and either side can make valid arguments. You have to do what is right for you and your financial and gaming situation.
