PS Vita owners.

[Beefmaster]

Is it worth buying a Vita? I want to get one, but mainly to see my franchise stats and mess with lineups while I am away from my PS3. If it plays well, I might play a game or two on it. But, I just want to carry my franchise with me to do all the stuff I don't want to eat time with when I am home.

Not for one game. They removed the ticker this year, which sucks. And there is also a glitch with the scouting when sharing your franchise between the 2 systems

Unless you plan to play some amount of games I wouldn't get a Vita. Seems a high price to pay for franchise management on the go.

It is! I actually bought the Vita only to play The Show and now I'm in the process of selling my Xbox, simply cos I haven't played a second on it since I got my Vita.

I agree, I got the Vita for the Show and am not disappointed in the money spent. I also got it with the playstation plus bundle so there are free games to fool around with. I think the gameplay is great. You'll find yourself playing quite a few games on it. Don't forget you can watch videos, play music, go online. For those of us without an ipad that just wants something a little more than an mp3 player the vita is not a bad pickup. That's my 2 cents at least

I would say no. And next year it will be totally off compared to the PS4 version.

And we're still waiting for the latest PS3 patch (released 2-3 weeks ago) to be applied on Vita as well. Big deception since was using my Vita to play MoM mode and there's very important fixes in latest patch.

Re: PS Vita owners.

If you have the money, by all means get a Vita.
I don't really do cross platforming, I play RTTS at work on my Vita.
I play franchise/season at home on PS3.
I've bought a few other games to kill time at work
(Madden, Hotshots golf, F1 racing, Metal Gear Solid to name a few)
& even if I only played the Show on it, it'd be worth it to me.

And I'm by no means rich, I had to eat my share of baloney sammiches to get my Vita

Re: PS Vita owners.

If you buy one of these things, do you need to buy the same game for Vita to be able to cross platform?

Yes, you do.

How did you expect it to work?

Re: PS Vita owners.

I thought it would work like PlayStation Allstars. You buy the PS3 version and are able to download a digital copy to your Vita at no extra cost. Luckily The Show came out during the Target buy 2 get 1 free sale. If not, I would have passed on the Vita version.

That's what I figured as well..

Unfortunately not - this game hasn't ever been part of the cross buy scheme. Those games are advertised, so if a game doesn't get any advertisement for this scheme, it's not available.
