Press Row Podcast - Hands-on with MLB 14 The Show and More

[Steve_OS]

In the 75th episode of the Press Row Podcast, we have some fun discussing what we’ve been playing and some reaction to hands-on time with the eagerly-anticipated MLB 14 The Show on the PS4. After that, though, the heart of the show deals with a fun conversation about each panelist’s all-time “desert island” single player, couch co-op, and online multiplayer sports games. It’s topped off by the all-time “desert island” sports gaming system. What would your choice be?[/list]Joining us this week:

From the interview, frame rate for ps4 isn't where they want it and part of the lighting for the ballpark wasn't complete but graphics are much better than ps3. Three minutes of discussion about that, then rtts, it's boring to play 162 games, etc.

I get the impression these folks aren't into baseball.

That pretty much sums it up. I got the same impression.

The guy who had the hands on did not seem prepared to me. He was kind of all over the place.

Man, he was hard to listen to.

edit: If indeed he was a big baseball fan he would have jumped at the chance to try the game out, who here would just sit and watch when all you had to do was ask to try it.

Thanks! I didnt wanna be the first to say it!

He seemed unprepared, nervous and unsure of himself.
I guess that why hes on a podcast and not the Evening News.

There were more Ums, Uhs, I thinks and I guesses than there was solid info.

If I had been there for any reason at all, even to only use the bathroom and I saw The Show, the first thing I would do is ask if I can play it.

I wouldn't call this a wasted opportunity to properly report on the game and share with fans some of the cool and unique things the game is doing...

...on second thought, I would. Too bad.
