Re: MLB 14 The Show: Hands-On Preview Video w/New PS4 Footage

Can someone explain to me how they expect it to play different? It's baseball, the show already plays an amazing, authentic, realsitic game of ball, please explain?

That's what I genuinely want to know as well. I think people think we are being flippant when we ask these questions. Same for when I was asking about stadium issues.

Noticed a slight improvement in daytime light (clearly unpegged but the previous look was airway pretty accurate) but holy crap was that night time lighting amazing. I never could put my finger on why night games in the show didn't look as real as they could but now I can.

Similar sentiments for how players look when in the shade on the field.

They did a great job with the lighting.

Ramone talked about what the big difference maker was in the PSNation interview, and pointed out that on PS3, (most) people didn't notice what was missing. Once apparent, you really get a feel for how amazingly improved the lighting is on PS4.

I get the feeling that there will be people complaining that it's the same as the PS3 version. You know it's coming.

I am pretty excited about this release. I know with WatchDogs releasing later in the month, my PS4 will get some extensive usage this summer.

I don't think complain is the right word more like compare would be better. If you love baseball video games I think you say it is essential the same game with new graphics and some other added things. I don't think when we play we it on ps4, you'll walk away saying this is a brand new game, it's baseball and I think The Show does that better then anyone has done before. I'm ok with the same gameplay and a much prettier landscape. In other words, they know what they are doing and I'm good with whateva they do.

I know. I think the problem most people have are paying $60 for the same experience year after year. While SCEA San Diego probably gives the most bang for the buck year over year for a sports game, there is some sort of preconceived idea that a lot has to change to make it worth it. If it doesn't meet that idea, then it's garbage.

I understand that argument and am not totally against it. However, if you want more changes year over year, then the developing studio needs more resources. So from that point of view, I don't have a problem paying full price because that should translate into more/improved features/gameplay the following year.

This is all I ever wanted/expected: the great gameplay of The Show with better graphics. Man they even added new features like quick counts and new dynamic cams. What's not to like?! Now show us Ichiro swinging!

Here's mine as well. Video interview with Ramone included.

Hands-on Report

Glenn do you know why there is no Rosen bag on the mound still in the PS4 version? Is this something Sony is planning to add in the future? I would think the power of the PS4 should now allow this.

Also your video is just blank for me is it working for anyone else?

The PS3 version added a ton to the gameplay this year already, so my jump for MLB 13 on PS3 to MLB 14 on PS4 will be massive. I don't know what people expect when it comes to gameplay either, as it seems just about perfect as is. However, I would like new running and pitching animations over the next few years. Maybe even new player models, but I'm still extremely satisfied as is.

My only question (and this is for Phillies fans) pertains to the dirt color in Citizens Bank Park. It seems a little... pale, or dark. Is this accurate for night games there? I've seen quite a bit on TV and it just seems off to me. But I could be wrong.

Now that's what I am talking about next gen gaming with added touches, it doesn't get any better than this, hurry up May 6th. Kudos to SCEA San Diego!!!

[BigshotSportcenter]

Best sports game by far. I can't wait for May 6th.

As far as I know, the Rosin bag will be in the game, and will be a separate object finally. Things can always change before release though, so take that for what it is.

Rebuilt stadiums and yet citizens bank Park still has the wrong LED boards in right field?

Looking good. I'm sure this will divide the forum with people who love it and people complaining that it's the same gameplay.

Maybe to some degree. But I really like the approach SCEA took with the PS4 version compared to EA's approach with Madden on the 360. No need to start from scratch with an already stellar engine. Just build on what's there. The two things I'm most hoping to see fixed are the simulated stats 5-6 (and beyond) in franchise and the dramatic drop off of ratings for good players at the age of 29-30.

This is baseball people it's the same game year in and year out. I love this game and it will play the same just like I played the same game in college for 4 years. See ball, hit ball, catch ball, throw ball. Then of course you have some sick plays you make from time to time. What do y'all want? super jumps to jump way higher to rob home runs, fire on the bat to launch the ball farther, rocket shoes to go faster on gap to gap hits? Hah all these ideas sound stupid! So keep this game how it's supposed to be. An actual baseball game where the same s#*+ happens on a daily basis lol!! This game is amazing just the way it is

Those have been fixed on the PS3 version (read the impressions thread tabarnes did a write up it I believe) so I am sure the PS4 is going to work the same way.
