I always have the best intentions of playing this mode but as soon as I get to the logo creation section its over!

The logos are not stored on the PS3 itself. If there was a way to import logos into MLB 14 and beyond it would likely be via The Show's servers. When you go into DD and load up your logo it has to hit a server in order to save changes and such. You can manually make a local save, but by default its all stored server side.

I'm not saying they should jump back into the MLB 13 code. I'm saying I am dissapointed this is not happening for MLB 14. If you look at posts in the past and current one of the main issues people have with the mode is the logo creation. Having an easier creator and the ability to use your logo in the future could really benefit the mode in getting some more users to try it out. I have the ability to create a new very detailed logo each year. But not everyone can so if users are dropping off because they don't want to deal with the one time logo creation then it hurts the mode as its contingent on many users playing it at the same time.

But you still need the code that reads those MLB13 logos and translates them to MLB14.

Just like Rosters and CAPs. You could create and save them too. Save them locally, thru the cloud, in the vaults and even to your PC. But until this year, you were unable to transfer them to the next year.... because they either didnt have the coding to do it or never implemented it..

Now they do, so from here forward, we should be set on all file transfers and hopefully including DD logos.

For all we know, it could already be possible this year.
They havent said anything about logos yet one way or the other.

I said MLB13 was dead to me, not PS3.

Thats where the mark was missed.

You don't have to. That's what I've been trying to say. The game doesn't have to use the exact same logo data that is stored server side or local that the game reads. They export and display the logo outside of the game already. So I don't think its a stretch to think they could also export it out of MLB 12, 13, 14 via the server side data, and the just import a flattened one layer image into future versions. Its just an image file at that point.

If you are resticting it to local save file import/export than yes it is impossible to go back and make MLB 13 saves compatible with MLB 14, or MLB 14 compatible with MLB 13 saves at this point if they haven't done it this year. If that is the case than yeah, we have to move on from that dream. But I would gladly take a much lesser import option in the form of just a flattened one layer image.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they decide.
