The question is: should i buy The Show 14, or just buy the last year's game? I mean, i know i could pay less for the last year's version, but if the improvements are really that great, should i pick 14?

If you have the extra $ to spend, go for '14. The new features in this year's game seems to be worth it, in my opinion.

I have a question for rttp players. In the video it appears training is done by assigning xp to certain categories. Is this how it was done last year or is this new?

I use franchise mode and I'm wondering it this will be part of franchise now.

Unless there is some way to track offline usage I'm not aware of, I disagree.

If they believe RTTS is the most played mode, I'm sure they have something backing that up, but to me the % of games played isn't a great measure of that to me. But Ramone also said they were aware of the time investment difference in the modes.

For example if I had to guess about how I play the game in terms of time invested. I'd guess 50% franchise, 30% online, 20% RTTS. But in terms of what Ramone said I am sure that my total games played in RTTS is way more than the other modes. Maybe not 90%, but its significantly more than the other modes.

I can't wait to get MLB 14 The Show! The new features for RTTS look and sound great!

Thanks guys, i will probably buy 14. These new RTTS features are for the PS4 version only? Cause it looks amazing, and i'm a big fan of these "player career modes", and i can see myself playing RTTS for hundreds of hours.

RTTS new features are on all of Vita/PS3/PS4.
No feature difference between PS3/4 versions of the game at all.

Previously since its first inception it was Training Points, the XP appears to be same deal just different name.
