Thanks guys. I'm torn on if I should get the ps4 or not. Really the show is the only game I play and I was willing to buy the ps4 just for the show because I really want the updated graphics. But having to pay this extra $50 for the updated franchise features doesn't seem worth it to me and I may stick with the ps3 another year. If the ps4 version has classic stadiums, SOTS, and a 2nd jersey template for the yankees jerseys then I'll be making the upgrade. If not then there really isn't a reason for me to make the switch.

I always find it interesting where people draw a line in the sand when purchasing something. You seem fine with spending $399 for the system (only the Show) and $59 for the game but draw the line at the extra $50 when in reality it would yield more value in dollar paid with cloud saves, free games etc. Even more you can find PS+ for $29.99 at certain times of the year.

I am not picking on you just more an observation, as I have seen this type of thinking from many.

If people like them actually take a stand and don't purchase a game for a reason, than that's good. We need more people to set standards on what is acceptable in any market. One might see PS+ as a value, others see it as an added burden. Every market has different customers. There were people posting that SoTS was a deal breaker as well, I don't agree with them but I understand why they feel the way they do.

That's a fair observation. To each is own I guess. For me the free games doesn't really add any value because the show is the only game I play. Other types of games just don't interest me. I'm just a baseball fanatic. I would probably go ahead and get the ps+ for the ps4 if some of the features I mentioned earlier are in the ps4 just for the full experience. I seem to change my mind daily on which version I'm going with this year so who knows what I'll end up doing.

But isn't online in these cases PS4......and not the game itself?
There is no online play on the4 for any game w/o PS+....is there?
