why not developer logos or anything? Kinda weird

Unless this has been in the works for a while now and there is a real game studio behind it then theres really no shot at this even meeting the 2k series standards. Im unbeleiveably excited for this because I dont want to have to buy a dumb ps4 for a baseball game but I need to keep my expectations in check. Thetes no way MLBAM is going to make a decent next gen baseball game. It has to be some sort of cheap downloadable arcade game. Unless of course they hired the 2k baseball division guys.

If this game was made by the 2k devs who have the video game knowlege along with the MLBAM guys who have the baseball knowlege and enthusiasm, then ill be VERY excited.

At the very least, I'd consider buying a used PS3 & the Show 14.

I hope there's info soon. If it's an average cartoony baseball game I'll probably just buy a PS4 and get The Show

I bought a ps3 for the sole purpose of The Show 12, 13. It collected dust when that game wasnt being played. I sold the ps3 when I got an X1.

I had never heard of this, actually. I'd be tickled pink to play a game like that on my 3ds.

On another note... Why oh why can't some developers make some UNLICENSED baseball games for current generations?

Seems like now would be the time with only one (two now, I guess) licensed options.

The more I think about it the worse the scenario gets, it seems like MLB panicked and knew it couldn't. not have a game on the market for other systems, scrambled and got MLBAM to throw something together very quick and cheaply. I really hope im wrong.
