Re: MLB 14 The Show Road to the Show Developer Blog

As soon this game it the shelves for PS4, I'll buy it. It's just amazing to read an article like that and finally see a company that cares not only about the online modes. This RTTS is looking promising, so far, it's a triple, and might just turn quickly in a grand slam when we play it.

I call bulls***t about not them caring not only about online. Yes they went challenged a lot with RTTS but they made a bulk of their changes to online. This is leaning towards the new/improved online franchise mode, and all of the changes made to that, which can be seen on page 8 of that thread. Also if you read it pissed some fans off. Just the changes that were made for online with the ones made off line Just go read through that entire thread and you may change your opinion.

Number one....what?

Number two, I would disagree with you. You say they went and changed a lot with RTTS, but then brush that off, and say that the bulk of their changes are online...but RTTS is shaping up to be a completely different mode.

The amount of code that goes behind the logic of season long scouting, and call-ups at any time, is a lot more than call-ups and demotions being based on injuries, and training periods.

The fact that bloop singles will be weighted, and valued, lower than rocket line-drive outs, is another area that shows how much is going into the mode to separate itself from years past.

If you wanna highlight any disparities between online franchise, and offline franchise, go ahead, have at it. But you can't brush off what's going into RTTS this year. The amount of code behind the improvements has to be dizzying. I would call that a sizable "bulk" of changes.

Did we ever find out that saves from PS3 version to PS4 version would carry over this year? I wasn't going to buy The Show for PS3, but now I am thinking about grabbing it and just doing RTTS until the PS4 version releases, but I want to make sure I can transfer my file.

I'm sure I'll be able to trade the PS3 version in for $40 at Best Buy during the 100% trade in promotions. Game will only cost me $48 plus tax being a GCU member.

Yes, saves are compatible between all three platforms.

Funny, but my point was your statistics show I'm a fan of rtts when in fact I play far more games in franchise, MoM.

And his point is that you said basically the same thing about three or four times. You made your initial statement about your playing preferences, and then Russell told you what their research has shown. You rebutted by re-stating your playing preferences.

Woodweaver replied, "We know," as in "We get it. You are an outlier. Move on."

You follow? There's nothing creepy about it. He's simply saying "We heard you the first time."

Re: MLB 14 The Show Road to the Show Developer Blog

If you get drafted and choose to go back to school, does that actually advance the game 1 year, to the 2015 draft? Or however many years you decided to go to school for? I'm guessing that's a no, but I figured I might as well ask. I think this would be awesome. Changes up the draft order, adds another element to the process and more realism.

Personally I'd love to go #1 overall (and keep trying the showcase over and over until I do) but I can't say I have a strong desire to play for the Astros haha.

No, the year you get drafted is always 2014.

So you enter the 2014 draft showcase, get drafted, decide you want to go to a 4 year college, come back and do the showcase and get drafted again... in 2014. Haha.


I get why they do it that way, but it would be cool if it actually advanced time, or gave you the option to.

I think it's weird too, to be honest. xD

Agreed, perhaps next year.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Road to the Show Developer Blog

OK here's another question:

Regardless of if you're using custom rosters or not, I assume the game generates a made up draft class right? Can you create a draft class and then enter yourself amongst it?

While it seems strange the way they get around it is they never once tell u what year the showcase was , if u get drafted u still don't know the year it is, if u choose to go back to school the years again are not known... The year only comes into play once u sign with ur drafting team and begin that minor league season which now finally takes place in 2014.

So depending on the path u choose the showcase and ur initial draft could be anywhere from 2009 to 2014 depending on how much schooling u choose if any and probably even depending on more details like what ur fictional schools calendar might be.

Regardless u wouldn't ever know the year of ur showcase and/or draft(s) until u actually begin ur minor league season and then can calculate back from there.

Bottom line, the initial showcase and draft take place in ambiguous, unspecified years so that you always begin ur first minor league season in 2014, which is fine by me. Tricky but well done cuz I can just imagine the fits people would have if they get start in 2014 go back to school then get drafted again in 2014. So this way is better .

I figured that's probably how they did it. Still though, a player gets drafted twice and in both years it's the exact same draft order, even the comp picks lol.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Road to the Show Developer Blog

any plans on allowing female players to be created??

As a female fan/gamer I am interested to see if this will happen some day.

My 7 year old daughter asked me this as well. She loves beginner mode
