MLB '14: The Show is the 'First and Only' Next-Gen Baseball Sim
 

In what is the least surprising news of the year thus far, Sony has announced triumphantly that MLB '14: The Show will be the 'first and only next-generation baseball sim.'

For a year at least, this means that if you own an Xbox One you will not get a baseball simulation to play. There is always a chance a company such as EA or even Microsoft could step up to deliver a next-gen product on the Xbox, but right now we don't have any indications on who that will or could be.

The disclaimer in the ad does say that the claim does include only disk based baseball simulations, which means an arcade or download-only MLB title is possible. You have to wonder if MLB will consider this a huge issue or not, and it could be a litmus test for the state of the game period as to whether an MLB game can appear on XBox One in the next couple of years.

What do you think about no baseball on the XBox One next year?

Can't wait for some more news

I can't believe 2k couldn't make a decent baseball game graphically compared to their basketball games

This game alone is a console seller.

Xbone can have titanfall, I'll take The Show.

My feelings exactly. Main reason I took ps4 over Xboxone.

Not even a baseball fan, and I'm considering buying this game. Looks phenomenal.

...I am so incredibly glad I'm going from 360 to PS4.

And seriously, forget Titanfall. There are enough FPS's around (Call of Duty, Battlefield, Killzone, Destiny, Blacklight, PlanetSide).
