MLB 14 The Show Reports Tomorrow, What Do You Expect?

[SVCbearcat10]

When compared to that time when Jesus hit a bases empty Grand Slam to win the game for the Bethlehem Braves, this will be much more impressive and spectacular!

Expecting PS3 vs PS4 screenshots, a release date, and some new comparative screenshots on the PS4 showing the very very recently improved lighting.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Reports Tomorrow, What Do You Expect?

I'm not so sure that they'll spill all their beans tomorrow but I would expect a hay maker or two. I'm guessing (hoping) we'll get:
-ps4 & ps3 screenshots
-ps3 game play (hopefully ps4 too)
-Hints about new features, modes, animations, detail to players and atmospheres, cpu logic, but not super in depth.
-Release dates for both versions.

I honestly will not be disappointed tomorrow no matter what. Even if it's just 1 screenshot and a release date.

From everything we've seen from sports games thus far, I'll say more hype, to make more money. As much as they can, because no dev is living up to the true capabilities of the system. They show nice movies but the actual experience is never what it could've been. I know it will look amazing. I also know M.K. will edit rosters, But with out DD exportable to franchises with custom uniforms, and expansion or custom leagues, deeper franchise management and trade logic, without having to spend extra money, then it's just another hyped better looking game on a new powerful, system. That we will buy bcuz we love baseball.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Reports Tomorrow, What Do You Expect?

The main thing for me is what kind of improvements to the game did they make in the graphics and detail department. Ball boys, faces, stadiums, atmosphere, etc. Next is the bat and ball physics. We've already been treated to that with PS3 but my guess is they can even take it a notch further on the PS4. I'd like to see hooking liners, balls down the line that hit the outfield wall, etc. Just physics we haven't been able to see due to limitations with the PS3. Third is collision detection. Obviously collisions at the plate are no longer allowed, but what about base runners sliding into fielders without the canned animation like on PS3 and how about outfielders colliding. It'd just be nice not to see guys morph through each other anymore. Finally is presentation but I don't really need to go into detail on that because it's all been said before.

No faith? That's too bad. The Show and SCEA have put out an awesome title every year and this year should be no different.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Reports Tomorrow, What Do You Expect?

release date is 4.1.14 per Gamestop

If that was the date we would all know about it and they would not be having a podcast tomorrow about the PS4/PS3 and Vita realese date , So again for the 1000th time Gamestop is not Sony.

Target just told me release date of 4.1.2014

Target just told me release date of 4.1.2014

Well April first is opening day so it would make sense for Sony to release MLB 14 The Show on that day.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Reports Tomorrow, What Do You Expect?

Oh my God. We are getting the OFFICIAL release date tomorrow people! Why is there still speculation??

Can't anyone be patient for one more day?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Reports Tomorrow, What Do You Expect?

Hey stop clogging the thread with your collective, "so and so just told me the release date is . . ."

1. Please try to stay on topic
2. Wait a day for the real answer
3. If you still need to tell us that you have some special place with the release date there is another thread with many of your proclamations. Thanks guys!

As great as The Show is, what I bolded above is one thing that has really held it back for me. Hard hit ground balls down the line never die on their own in real life. They either hook down the line and hit the side boundary, or roll into the corner and bounce around. I'd say this applies to ground balls in the game in general. A typical ground ball single up the middle or in between SS/3B, 1B/2B should roll pretty deep into the outfield on an empty field. At Tampa Bay, a decent or better hit ground ball would not stop until it hit the wall.

I also think the outfields in the game are too small. Often times you get a base hit and the defender is there to field the ball almost right when it hits the outfield grass. Has kind of taken baserunning out of the game, you almost have to hit and run to advance a runner for 1st to 3rd on a single.

2. Wait a day for the real answer

So no one can post at all until tomorrow then?


No one will have answers for anything until tomorrow, in a thread asking what you expect, I would imagine release date being part of info people would discuss, no?
