MLB 14 The Show Online Servers Closing on June 18th

[NYGiants4Natic]

Base on some of the answers I am seeing here which are not shocking considering the rep that the MLB The Show forum has on OS I am shocked that many are not saying that SCEA should charge double for the game because it is a reason for living.

If the online servers are such a disgrace which they are then why don't they try and use those resources to improve the game more then just a coat of paint year after year.

So we must let them remove the online portion of the previous years game and say is ok because it sucks and those resources can go to this years game? really? Do any of you really feel that the game this year will have better online performance? I dont think so and so if that is the case then why are we not making a bigger deal that a sports games which are mainly played online vs friends and randoms or online franchises is getting away with having a terrible service and removing it from the previous years game while not improving the new version at all.

Because games are mainly played offline, not online. If they were, we'd hear a far louder outcry.

The rep lmao MLB The Show is heavily criticized for their online portion here on OS what are you talking about??? Never knew this many people cared about online here, but think some are simply making it a bigger deal than it really is

If people have not voiced their concerns about this to the game maker, they need to do that now. Hopefully future releases of the game could be restructured to ensure the save files can be transferred either through supported cloud saves or through a USB thumb drive. Otherwise what is the point of hyping the cross platform year to year saves if they only support the feature for people with the latest release.

Correct! The features (cross play and year to year saves) that they pimp us are obsolete when the cloud is turned off. I have PS+ and I back up my games, but there is no way to transfer from PS3, Vita and PS4 without the cloud.

I mainly play off line and USED to transfer my saves between systems, but I disagree with you about games mainly being played off line...I could be wrong, But I disagree.

The claim was that you can play the same franchise or RTTS on BOTH ps4 and vita and you should be able to do this longer than a year! Having usb file transfer support would allow this to be possible while still shutting down the servers. Also, a new big feature was supposed to be that you can continue your franchise from MLB 14 with the new game. Well if you don't get MLB 15 till after the 14 servers are down you won't be able to do this, to my understanding. Know that I do plan on purchasing MLB 15 for BOTH ps4 and vita and I should be able to play the same OFFLINE franchise on both for more than one year! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know right? Such a simple thing to implement like using a USB cable to transfer saves between systems and yet it's missing. You think they want you to buy the yearly release?

For vita to PS3 .....and now that ps4 has USB support.....can you transfer usb( I guess you would need a sd card reader for the vita) for the files?

Also if you don't know, you can only save and continue your franchise, season and RTTS from MLB14 to MLB15 and when MLB16 comes out MLB15 to MLB16. But not MLB14 to MLB16...bummer.
