Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
This sounds awesome and should make fielding even more fun and realistic too. It kind of sounds a little bit like how fielding was in that very old game Tony Larussa baseball from what I remember. In that game for example if there was a lot of wind you would see the little ball indicator say in center field and by the time the ball was about to hit the ground the ball indicator would move all the way to left field thanks to the wind which in turn of course made the catch harder. So what looked like a routine fly ball for my center fielder turns out to be the left fielders ball.The ball location indicator which is that spinning baseball icon is no longer fixated to the exact location where the ball will land. Now it will take a moment to show up and it will keep moving so you have to continually adjust your fielder to make sure you are under the ball properly. It works really well in those suspense type home runs where the icon could show up before the warning track and you think you will make the catch but the icon will keep drifting back and before you know it the ball is just over the fence. It is definitely a nice change of pace ands some dimension to catching flys in the outfield.Last edited by tnixen; 03-04-2014, 07:39 PM.Comment

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
This might seem obvious but I thought I'd ask anyway. Completely removing advancement goals..does that mean 3 homeruns in the next 4 series is gone?Favorites:

They revamped the advancement system and removed the advancement goals.
So i guess it's safe to assume you won't have to worry about 3 homers in 4 series.NFL : Atlanta Falcons

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
Thank god. The advancement goals were always kind of annoying unrealistic for position players. But it seems like last year's RTTS glitched with pitchers and I was kind of getting annoyed when my AL pitcher was getting chewed out for not hitting enough homeruns.Comment

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
The biggest problem with advancement goals, IMO, was when you reached the big league club. You should be benched or demoted based on stats. If I'm hitting .340 with a bazillion home runs I shouldn't be sent down because I missed my walk advancement goals by two. No GM is baseball would do that.Favorites:

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
I agree with this. I got pissed when I was playing my RTTS the other day. I have broken about 8 MLB records and have a .388 average over my career. I just hit age 44 in the game so I am close to retirement and batting over .400 in this season currently. I missed two goals (get a certain number of homers and touch a certain number of bases) and I got an email from the GM telling me if I didn't get my act together right then he would bench me or send me back to AAA.The biggest problem with advancement goals, IMO, was when you reached the big league club.

No GM in the world would tell a 44 year old hall of fame bound player, who is killing it that season, that he was going to bench him or send him down to the minors. Ever.Comment

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
Then the argument is that this should have been in the game many years ago.Why would you not want the game to have left-handers play left-handed @3B, SS, & 2B? If you make a bad decision and/or your bench is exhausted, it certainly would require more strategic play if you wanted to avoid the negatives of a left-handed fielder in this position. It was not realistic or fair to have left-handers play right-handed in these positions. And if you wanted to tilt at windmills in RTTS, wouldn't you want that choice?
There are no generated left-handers, and development time invested was probably @1-2 hours.
I wouldn't have known anyway. I wouldn't have a reason to put a lefty there in the first place. Didn't even know they became right-handed at that point.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
You have to remember online is usually ignored by a lot of OS writers. They probably play one game and give up on it. I personally think MLB TS is the most fun online game.how is online features a low point??? This has been the most overlooked area of the game since its inception and the last sports franchise to incorporate and online franchise. This is PS4 and PSN has been leaps and bounds improved on the PS4 compared to the PS3. PS Plus needed for online play, so it better be up to standardsComment

Re: MLB 14: The Show Fact Sheet What's Hot/Not
I hope they fixed this for outfielders... I recall there being balls hit to the warning track that I had ZERO clue where to run. Just from awkward camera angles. I tried OF and after a few games gave up and went back to infield lolI used to put important things hereComment
