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

New dynamic gameplay camera for batting...maybe a hitter's first person perspective...or some feedback of what pitch is being thrown like MVP?

Very nicely done. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

Now THAT'S what Willis was talkin' bout!

The only thing I care about regarding this is if the AI will chase pitches in the dirt. The other issues with the batter AI I can live with. You have to pitch differently to The Show AI batters than you would a real MLB batter. When you have a batter 1-2 after 3 fastballs on the corner, a 99 movement splitter in the dirt should at least warrant a flinch. Pitches that routinely get MLB hitters don't have the same effect in The Show.. Its been discussed on here at length over the years, but if the AI hitters now swing at in-the-dirt pitches at a realistic frequency it could change how you pitch in The Show completely.

Yes I want to see CPU chase pitches out of the strike zone more. CPU reaction to breaking/off-speed pitch has been steadily improving IMO, but where it still fails is that we still have to battle around the strike zone. You cannot really take the CPU batters way out of the zone and expect them to be fooled. That's something I want to see more as well.

I just thought of this, but it'd be nice if the sleeveless jerseys were actually now sleeveless on ps4 instead of regular jerseys with different color sleeves.

I doubt this happens though.

I agree, not that my agreeing means much, but I agree!

I think this was just all about there being 1 jersey template on ps3, basically the same with the Yankees' numbers being too low on the jersey. If the Yankees' number problem is fixed, I don't see why there wouldn't be sleeveless jerseys on PS4. Don't take my word for it though, not 100% sure on it.

Well I for one would really hope with all the great improvements the PS4 version is getting that the game will now have more then just 1 jersey template.
