MLB 14 The Show New Universal Profile, Stubs Deep Dive (Dev Blog)

[RaychelSnr]

In MLB® 13 The Show™, we introduced Universal Profiles. Your Universal Profile displayed a breakdown of all your earned XP, online stats from past and present, recent play history, and Ratings in our competitive online modes.

This year, we’ve taken two more steps forward in creating a personal and universal sense of progression, regardless of your platform or play style.

Sounds good. Now everyone can officially put the UC/VC(2k14) debate to rest.

Yes please!

This definitely sounds promising. I think it will be great to check out your own profile just to see what you are doing right (or wrong). The Stubs feature sounds really nice as well. I like that I can do well on just an exhibition game or in my franchise and be able to apply it to RttS if I choose.

Great additions.

So the User Tendencies will be available for offline games you play too? That would be great! I only play offline franchise, and I'd love to have this available. (I also only play on the Vita, but I am presuming this is across all platforms)

Yes it is for offline as well. One thing I am not sure of being offline is the ability to play against your own user profile for training. I think that will be an online only feature.

2K should take a look at this game & learn how to implement in game purchases without p***ing everyone off!

Here is one concern I have....

"In Online Franchise, players will be able to practice against your team via the schedule screen."

Ok, but what about if you aren't available to PLAY your franchise game against your buddy in Online Franchise, can we elect to send our "clone user" out there to play against them on a regularly scheduled Franchise game? I don't mean "practice games", I mean regular season matchups.

Sounds great....both versions pre-ordered!

Glad there's a swing percentage tendency in the universal profile. It'll be fun seeing all the 95% and up on DD that will swing at anything you throw them. At least I won't get cussed out for throwing balls!

This definitely brings new depth to DD, being able to play against someone's tendencies without actually playing them. And I know it's not a new concept and that other games have had it, but I always like seeing things like this.

Not for Vita.

Universal Profile (PS3 & PS4) A new tendency-tracking system monitors and records gamers’ unique playing styles. Those patterns are stored in the Universal Profile, which can be viewed by anyone looking to get a quick scouting report on the player. The Universal Profile can also be subbed in in place of a CPU opponent in Diamond Dynasty and Online Franchise, making for more realistic head-to-head matchups when schedules prevent synchronous play.

The profile deals with DD and Online Franchise, neither of which exist on Vita.

Neither idea presented in this blog interest me. Seems as though more resources should be used for better commentary, and animations.

Maybe they have committed more resources to those areas as well.

I completely forgot you're the only one buying this game.

Oh and they did add to those as well.
