MLB '14: The Show Just Saved Thousands of Careers

I think KNIGHT'S comments were a little tongue in cheek.

I don't understand why people say that you wouldn't buy the next game in the series if this was implemented. Wouldn't it be the other way around? Suddenly I want to buy future ones for this very reason, so now I can continue my franchise.

Besides franchise mode itself, this is the best feature in a sports game ever. Period. Props to SCEA.

Am I the only one that's going to miss Armor & Sword's detailed descriptions of his 37 different Franchises spanning 5 different versions of the game?

Yeah Blzer, I agree. Someone said "game changer" earlier and I couldn't have put it better myself.

I dont think people realise how revolutionary this is...this has been needed for years...One of my biggest gripes with sports gaming in general. HAving to start over when in only 2/3rds through my season on last years version...

More sites should be praising this, but the show always gets ignored mainly, despite its impeccable quality.

However, I think we both know that's a bit of a stretch. If, in five years the lowest team batting average in the MLB is .307 and the best team ERA is 5.20 I'll be very, very surprised.

I don't think The Show gets ignored at all. It's consistently rated one of the best games of the year by several gaming outlets. People always complain how boring and stupid baseball is, and those same people always talk about how revolutionary and amazing The Show is. They get it, even if they don't specifically like the particular content of the product.

This is one of those features that will raise the attention of several other developers in sports gaming. Gamers will demand it even more. And now that one game can do it, no one will ever understand why the other could not.

Well, it's early for one. Baseball season just wrapped up, the game doesn't come out until March/April, and other sports will be launching with the system, making them more "up front" at the moment.

Plus, while it's definitely a big feature, it's also difficult to truly measure its impact until we can see it in effect (which really won't be until MLB 15). Currently, we don't even know how it's intended to work, let alone that it does work.

I disagree. the show, never wins for best sports game of the year, when it has deserved it by a wide margin many years this gen. it went to NHL a few times, not exactly a popular sport outside canada either.
