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

[tnixen]

I wonder if the players in the base runner windows will now have there name and numbers on the back of their jerseys instead of being blank like there are in the PS3 versions?

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.

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.

Only way I see that happening

Those patterns are stored in the Universal Profile, which can be viewed by anyone looking to get a quick scouting report on the player. The Universal Profile can also be subbed in in place of a CPU opponent in Diamond Dynasty and Online Franchise, making for more realistic head-to-head matchups when schedules prevent synchronous play.

That does not relate to what they are talking about at all!

This off the fact sheet is more in line:

CPU plate discipline logic has been re-written.

I certainly hope they have more than 1 jersey template, it should me more than possible on ps4. But i have my doubts that there is actually more than 1 jersey template.

Yes it does read more closely CPU plate discipline rewritten lol I'll believe when I see it every batter has eye of Ted Williams up there

A lot of great additions to the game, no doubt. But, the one question I have is how the "Year-to-Year Saves" will work. As it stands, I but The Show every-other year (largely due to not wanting to start over). Will I be able to keep a save from 14 for 16? Can I keep a save from 14 on PS3, and take it to 15 on PS4? If not, that puts the brakes on my enthusiasm for the concept (but just a little bit. Simply not losing 3-5 seasons of RTTS/franchise is almost enough to warrant $60/year.)

Just noticed some of the changes to franchise have (online franchise) next to them... Has there been a comment by SCEA about whether these are available for offline franchise as well?

Thanks in advance!

As of now its a mystery. It's something that we all hope happens. It would be a huge bummer if the improvements weren't in the base franchise mode.
