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

Does anybody know if two player locks can be used?

For example, me and my buddy love creating our own guys. If we created our guys and put them on the same team in franchise mode(co-op), would we be able to player lock our own guys or can we only player lock one player at a time?

I just copied and pasted a post from knight in another thread. Hopefully this will answer your question.

"When you start a game(any mode I believe...I know it's in franchise games) you get to choose from 1-3(it was 1-3 in November) players to use.(I think you can switch them on/off....not sure if you can change which ones after you begin)
It is like the RTTS play for the game with that player(s)...and you can either just be involved in his plays or be involved in his plays and watch everything else play out(your teammate AB's from the dugout)...

I forget fielding...but I believe it's like RTTS.

Pretty cool actually as you can now create a player ...(yourself let's say) MLB ready and use him exclusively....!

Can't wait for the PS4 version. It will only get better and better with each new iteration.

Questions:

1. Are numbers on the backs of players jerseys , w/o names, centered on the PS4 version? On the ps3 for example jersey numbers are really close to the belt for teams w/o last names on them. i.e. NYY

2. Does anyone else think the walls at Fenway Park need to be a different shade of green or darker?

Nitpicking! Sorry! lol

I guess we should realize though, more visual polish + stadium upgrades will come later down the road. Right now is getting the basics and fundamentals running well on the new system.

With the saves is that just for roster files?? or every file like franchise? so I could start a franchise on ps3 and just go to ps4 whenever it comes out??

Yes the roster files are compatible across all 3 platforms. The Franchise saves I believe is for the PS4 only, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

so a franchise file would only work for next year?


if that is the case no point buying the PS3 version really the only way I am now going to get the PS3 version is if I can continue my franchise with the PS4

Thanks for your response, but it still doesn't really answer my question of whether or not two players can be player locked at the same time.
