MLB 14 The Show: Why You Should Pick Up The Vita Version

[DJ]

All 3 Vita versions of MLB The Show have been excellent. Cross-saves with the PS3 is a big reason why I went all-in on a Vita when it launched. I was able to play all 162 games in MLB 12 thanks to this feature.

While I wish that you could still transfer saves on the older games (I get removing online play and roster vault access, but cloud saves should live independently of that), I'm not sure how much I'd play 12 anyway, as I'm really enjoying 14. 13, while a great game, was frustrating for me because that expanded timing window really threw off my hitting. 14 is a nice blend of 12 (you really had to react fast to pull a fastball in that game) and 13 (sit and wait, wait, wait and wait before you swing), so I'm certainly glad I picked the game up.

The Vita may not possess a gigantic library, but there are a lot of quality games out there for the system, so to me, it's well worth the investment.

I just wish we'd get more sports games developed for it. Madden 13 was really good and FIFA (all 3 are basically the same game with updated rosters) is solid. Hot Shots is outstanding.

RTTS is unplayable at the moment due to the bug where it hangs after the completion of a game. Very frustrating. If they could fix this it would be a sweet game.

The article mentions it will all change on May 6. Is he just referring to the PS4 release?

I think he means because you can play the PS4 version using Remote Play, not really handicapping the Vita system because it's essentially just streaming the PS4 version.
