Re: MLB 14 The Show Features Online Franchise - New Screenshots and Videos From Taiwa

What has been removed in the last 3 years that has afforded them the ability to add the new features they have added?

MLB12 they added DD. What was removed?

Last year they added 7 new MiLB stadiums, Extended DD and added TSL.
What was removed to make room for all that?

This year they added Carry over saves, OF and QC, what has been removed?

They removed the ability to schedule bobblehead night, set ticket prices, newspaper mode in franchise, resodding the field (i don't recall that option last year) etc. All of which I loved and made franchise mode deeper (and this game didn't need franchise mode getting any less deep).

Now I know to most people these features were worthless, but as a finance dude they were huge. If they add all this stuff back in for PS4 (which looks doubtful at the moment), I might have to go ahead and cop that PS4 earlier than I anticipated....assuming the wife oks it....Father's day maybe...

I loved them as well, but they were largely empty. Who cared if I had $500,000,000? I couldn't use it for payroll (unless I'm remembering incorectly) and once you got to a certain point all of the upgrades and field resurfacing was essentially free because the money built up to ridiculous degrees.

If they could balance it properly and let you do all of those things and then use that money to pay for the scouting, player development, and coaching/player payroll I would welcome those features back in a heartbeat; however, if they get back and are just as cosmetic as they were in the past I say that their time would be better spent elsewhere.

You can sit there and act humble but if your yankee blue wasn't a true representation of the jersey of legends who wore it before now, it would taint your vision and be a constant annoyance.

What if the NY jerseys were Pitch Black or Royal Blue instead of dark blue?
I myself haven't been one here to constantly remind the SCEA team about it because I don't have to, (beating a dead horse) but come on, instead of looking at it as "more people complaining" perhaps put yourself in those shoes and understand why.
A uniform is the essence of the team, the players themselves. If something does not get in the way (style guide) and can be fixed people have the right to express displeasure in a reasonable manner.
I don't recall anyone saying "This game is crap or im not buying b/c of the shade of blue"

oooooookkkkkkk

I can dig that playboy. My original point was that they did in fact remove features to add new ones in so maybe the PS3 was indeed tapped out. I'd rather they leave pointless things in and expand on them (like the ideas you pointed out) rather than simply take them out of the game, but I understand that it's not always possible

LOL then stop reading it

I'd rather they further reduce what's in franchise mode and instead make a more robust GM mode that has all the minute details that people are suggesting, as well as playing the games of course. Then people can have both, a simple multi-season mode or a more in depth GM mode.

Those features were removed not because of space or memory...but when they reworked franchise mode that year...they were cleaning out some old code and items that were basically dated and useless(the money aspect didn't effect your franchise really....it was more like dressing.)
Aaron_SCEA will likely re-introduce some aspects of financials to the game at some point...but only when it really means something.

I always wondered why, but didn't feel it was worth asking because I'd knew I'd get the "no one gives a rat's *** abut finance" comment LOL. thanks for that update chief. I'll spare you the "do you know anything about when" questions

I know, right? Man alive. The guys at SCEA who actually read through these threads to answer our questions and concerns and consider our ideas only to read through the most pointless banter.

I liked all of that stuff, but I do agree I would rather just wait until it can be implemented properly than have more pointless stuff to have to keep up with in my franchise. I think in a couple of years that we are going to be blown away by how many cool things are added to these modes like Road to the Show and Franchise, because they are already quite good.

Which is why I said I was speechless.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Features Online Franchise - New Screenshots and Videos From Taiwa

Something to think about:

If the ps4 is really selling that much more than xbox one, i think i saw someone say twice as much, and that definitely wasn't the case last gen. Then that would mean potentially more people have the opportunity to buy the Show, which would lead to an increase in the Show sales presumably, at least in a few years when most people finally make the jump to next gen. This of course would mean more profits for Sony/SCEA then they were making last gen.

Right?

Didn't they also downgrade the stadium graphics somewhat in '13? Also didn't they cut back on some things things like the movement of the clouds and stadium flags?
