MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

I'm hoping the reason Marlon Byrd's body looks nothing like him is because he was given the fat body type rather than buff. Will someone with SCEA's ear please let them know to correct this.

I think people might have too high of expectations of the new-gen system while we are still in the first year cycle while still doing three separate consoles at the same time.

Very true, also, commentary would really make it new! I'll say this, from what I heard in the little video, commentary seems to have been improved.

The lighting and the stadiums being redone will help make the game look diff jus would have thought they would have redone player models as well moving to another system ..

High expectations is an understatement, it's more like unrealistic expectations at best.

Last gen to me the features and gameplay of any game wasn't anything special to me it was jus about graphics .. The show hasn't changed the way it plays since 2009 which is ok the gameplay does what its supposed too jus want diff ways the player reacts to diff things that happen on the field the player movements haven't changed enuff for me .. I love the Show have bought every year and this development team along with naughty dog are the best I've seen .. I jus want diff experience with the PS4 ..

I getcha. I wasn't trying to call you out specifically, just the comments about gameplay in general needing to be changed. Baseball gameplay, to me, is about the number of animations you can get into the game for variety's sake. Fielding 50 ground balls before you see the same animation twice feels so much better than every 10. Like others have said, it's baseball so it can't change too much.

One thing I learned early in my professional career is to be a specific as possible when giving feedback. Being too general doesn't add value. Saying gameplay needs to be different doesn't mean anything. For example, saying baserunning needs to be improved because runners are making turns at 90 degree angles, which isn't humanly possible, means something. I think that is what causes a lot of the disagreements on message boards. General statements sound like hating, specific statements sound like you want to improve things. That's my life lesson (and the aforementioned advice isn't direct towards you OU, just making a general statement to try to improve dialogue).

Yup, The lighting is what's helping the game look good. I like a revamped stadiums which needed to be done in the first place. No excuse for keeping the same animations though.

From the few tidbits of commentary I heard so far does sound better .. I jus wish they would bring back Vin Scully or sign Bob Costas to do commentary ..
