MLB 14 The Show Fact Sheet (PS Vita, PS3, PS4)

Also on PS4 version will the chalk lines around home plate completely disappear late in the game now?

You're confusing him with Kolbe, as mentioned above.

I was actually the one who mentioned the dynamic fielding indicator. I can break it down, if allowed. (It may be planned as part of a dev blog.)

It really killed the mode for me when they cut all that out and only had sporadic commentary and everything. I know that your player can't hear that in real life, but that made the mode a bit boring for me.

Broadcast presentation (like when playing a regular game) has been added back into RTTS as an option, this year.

Well, it's not just the stats that are listed as online franchise at the moment. Even if that's the case I just can't see them knowingly leave major updates out offline franchise. It doesn't seem like San Diego to do that.

Will online franchise offer all the same features as offline? 30 team control, editing players whenever you want, force trades, multiple saves, etc. I haven't really followed all the talk on online franchise, but it seems like it can't do everything, or can it?

You don't have to worry about sliders much in the show as is, the game plays fantastic out of the box unlike madden. I think this is more so for new people who struggle, as the show can be hard, it is a full on Sim not arcade style baseball game.

Does dynamic refer to size/accuracy and how soon the indicator appears changing depending on the player's fielding ratings? Some really good ideas along those lines were kicked around here in the past...

The only thing I change in sliders is really is bump the human AI up a tad with hitting just to help a little, but that's because I move the pitch speed all the way up so a fastball is on me dumb quick. lol. (realism) But yes, as far as sliders go, not much need for tweaking... game plays amazing out of the box.

Just a quick thought on future saves and such... It seems our RTTS and franchises will save year to year, but what about settings? It'd be great to not have to adjust sliders and options, and audio settings every year. Just pick it up out of a save file from the prev. year. (any confirmation guys?)

The new contract logic that mimics real life is actually a really underrated part of the fact sheet. Last year in my RTTS when I made it to free agency I got the highest contract at 16m a year, which isn't even close to what people are making nowadays. So hopefully things like this are figured out.
