MLB 14 The Show Video and Screenshot Captures - New Fielding Ball Marker (PS4)

[LastActionHero]

I love this new feature. Should bring some much needed excitement to chasing balls in the outfield.

That lighting makes the game so much more vibrant and looking like...well a actual sunny afternoon game.

I really like this new way to field, makes it a little more interesting. And I loved watching more PS4 gameplay, it looks awesome!

Anyway, the game seems to be very enjoyable ... although frankly I would have expected something really amazing this year for ps4 versio of the show!

I am hoping that you're being sarcastic considering that this is the first year/cycle on the ps4. I honestly can't see the team doing anymore and it turning out as awesome as it has. Great video Russell, I'm as anxious as ever for the 6th of May.

This and the fact that it is impossible to tell the true fidelity of the grass (or any of the graphics for that matter) on a 720p compressed video. It is going to look flat and untextured because it has low resolution. Wait until it is on your TV.

I've learned this after many years. I can honestly say games look AT MINIMUM 25% better (usually 50%) on my TV than on videos. Perhaps my TV is a genie...

Gone are the days of everyone being an all-star caliber defender taking perfect routes to the balls.

But why is info about the Rosin Bag such a big Secret? If it's not in again I would just like to know why? Is it a memory issue or something like that? Can any Sony developers comment on this please? Thanks

Why is the rosin bag so important? Honestly, do you even notice it during a real baseball game? If you are sitting there thinking about the rosin bag, I don't know what to tell you.

I'm not sarcastic ... I'm a big fan of mlb the show but in the last few years what disappointed me the most was the grass of the diamond ... too dirty than the reality! Obviusly this is my humble opinion...

It's less about the rosin bag itself and more about the freedom of the animation and players on the field. For a pitcher, in real time (not a cut scene), to be able to bend over and pick up the rosin bag is a technological advancement not seen before. And one that will lead to much more.
