PS Nation - MLB 14 The Show Hands-On Report (PS3/PS4)

10:01 AM - February 13, 2014 by PSNation

There's a lot to digest folks, so here's my first article for MLB 14 The Show this year. Included is over 1,300 words, a video interview with Ramone Russell, Release Dates, and the new PS3 trailer.

I had hands-on with PS3 and (briefly) PS4, with additional time on both with Ramone. The Vita version was not onsite, but in terms of features, beside the smaller amount of Presentation (as always on Vita) the game is feature-complete across all 3 platforms.

Fenway looks fantastic. I haven't played Show game since about 2011.

To clarify if I start a franchise mlbts '14 on ps3 I can save to cloud and resume the franchise on mlbts '14 ps4?

I really would like to see a Dev confirmation on this to clarify it once and for all.

While I understand your thoughts ( in fact I initially shared them as well), I think Knight's statements about more to come as well as many others about this not being a full fact sheet should placate your fears until Monday or whenever they released the full info. Graphics is what the majority of people dig so that's what is always going to come first.

# 410 armymule @ 02/14/14 02:41 PM

any chance we can get Morgana the Kissing Bandit into the game? (LOL)

# 411 tnixen @ 02/14/14 02:41 PM

Was The Show Live mode improved any?

Especially on the first release of a new console...could you imagine the outrage if the game didn't look better from PS3 to PS4?

PS3 was dated after 2010 or so... after that I never really bothered much with it except on PSN and Sony exclusives. The rest looked like 2005 to me including the Show which started to look like barf to me the last couple years. Graphics are essential to enjoying a game for many people. It's one of the reasons I haven't personally bought a Show game since 11. I have been waiting for better hardware. The PS3 was a terrible system if you give it a truthful overview. Awesome but terribly complicated CPU joined by a horrid GPU. Not really something that can last 10 years. Last gen is most likely to be the longest gen ever and good riddance. No one in their right mind wants to watch PS3 level graphics for the next 5 years of baseball.

enough dude.
your getting annoying.

You know, there is a new MLB14/PS4 forum. Maybe you would be better suited over there.

Guess what you chose the wrong platform AGAIN for being a graphic w**re lol if ps3 was an outdated system already in 2010 ....well..i don't know how to tell you that ps4/xbone are terribly outdated systems ALREADY NOW, compared to PC master race. I own consoles and PC and I learnt that lesson a long time ago, that didn't stop me for buying a ps4 ofc. good graphics are awesome of course but that's not even remotely the most important part on a game especially console games. Srsly dude you are gonna be so disappointed by this so called NEXTgen if all you're looking for are graphics......

At this point i worry about graphics wayyy more than gameplay because i already know the gameplay is basically perfect.

Hey guys...sorry if this has been commented on.

Has there been anything said about additional stats, at least to the player cards or them being saved from season to season so we can go back to them whenever we want. Why dont they instill stats overlay like the back of baseball cards. Any word on any of this?
