I traded in my ps3 for a ps4 and although I have FIFA and Madden once the show is released FIFA and Madden will gather dust. I bought the ps4 for the Show - and I only play manage mode.

In fairness to the developers they are building 30 stadiums in great detail from scratch and they have added several new features. They also have to get gameplay as bug free as possible prior to release. This is a heavy lift.

yea, i gave up on madden a season ago, and fifa... i wait for the world cup edition, and although i enjoy the show more than nba2k... i buy both, each year. nba2k14 was such an improvement, graphically, and gameplay-wise over the ps3 version... that i was stoked for the show on the ps4, imagining just how much better it could be, too. but i'm just not feelin' it, and won't... till i see something of substance. someone said i sounded like i was coming from an nba2k forum, but i'm not. they also said that game could have benefited from also being delayed a month... and maybe that's the case. idk. i bought the ps3 version and didn't get the ps4 version till i had my ps4 after the new year, so i guess they had the early bugs worked out by then. unlike nba2k though... i won't be buying the ps3 version of the show 14 prior to my purchase of the ps4 version. i love the show, and have always thought it to be the best sports game on the market, but it's gonna have to hit a homerun to justify the may release for the ps4, and show a lot more advancement than a few color and texture changes at fenway park, more hairs to a beard and head, and more fans in the crowd... to sell me on their readiness for a jump to next-gen hardware. i guess, to me... the show has always been about what my ps3 had to offer, compared to an xbox. and now i want mlb the show 14 to be the same thing for this generation.

I spent $500 dollars and traded in my ps3. For MoM I'd settle for gameplay as good (bug free) as it was on mlbts '13 combined with upgrades to graphics and features. I'll gladly wait for May if they can do that. I'd rather wait than get an unplayable game early.

Just looked on Gamestop and they have a release date of 5/31 for the PS4 version

Could still be a place holder though

I just hope that The Show 14 on the PS 4 won't be nearly as buggy as NBA2k14. Just releasing it 2 Months later than usually doesn't necessarily mean they are using that time for bug fixing and to release a super polished game right out of the box. Of course it could but it's also possible they need that time just to get some fundamental things right and some "minor" bugs will or will not be fixed via patches even later...

You had Mark Cerny telling everybody that Sony gave out Dev kits of the PS4 to all the top studios in 2008,so I'm thinking great San Diego is one of sony's top studio(probably #2) we're going to see next gen baseball in March. Then you had Russell saying how they just broke through something graphically and how they were going to have to redo a bunch of the ps4 screen shots. Big disappointment on the release date for the ps4 version

I could see that date... Its around Memorial Day. Its first official start of Summer. The first big baseball holiday weekend. Everyone is thinking of baseball, barbecues, family and friends.

But it's not a Tuesday.

If they stick to the Tuesday tradition, it could be the 6th, 13th, 20th, or 27th.
