MLB 14 The Show: Little Issues Hampering the Fun

Exactly! That's why it's so aggravating. I was honestly in shock when slow wasn't an option because The Show is probably the only sports game where they don't take options away, but rather continuously add new ones and keep what they already have. They are so good with this but it's just a shame it's not there. I know I keep on talking about this topic but it is really the only issue that is hurting this game for me. I posted it as a suggestion bug on The Show Nation and the guy who responded said they'd look into it for next year. I don't think it will make its return to the game via patch this year, nor did I expect it to.

My experience with pick-offs are the complete opposite of Operation Sports. The Ai always throws over to first over and over excessively as soon as I take a decent lead. I am getting picked off often, way more then before because when I hit R1 to retreat to the bag , sometimes my player is slow to respond.

Exactly, not sure why OS Sports is saying make pickoffs more successful, they are way too much now, that along with errors making a pick-off, and the AI constantly throwing to first when you take a 1 step lead.

Unfortunately, it seems this is case for a lot of things we had gotten used to in past games. For me, I used to play The Show Live constantly. I loved that you could play the actual games as they were happening with updated lineups, stats, etc. In this mode in the past, you used to be able to edit visual things and still be able to play the game; things like equipment. I used to get so much satisfaction playing those games with all the players with their real equipment, etc., but now, it seems the game pulls the roster fresh from the server every time you play so you can't edit these things...now if I want to play The Show Live, I'm forced to rely on SCEA roster updates, which (as far as Stances/Equipment Edits/Pitches goes) are terrible. Needless to say, I don't play the game mode anymore...

baserunning in general is a bit of a let down for me. here is one issue I went through as a rtts second baseman.

I don't know i this is an attribute thing but my player now every so often but mostly when I've plotted the course of the ball and am waiting for it to come to me, I'll get it then double clutch it before throwing. on throws to first it's not big deal but to start a double play time is of the essence and that is now costing me double plays. I've found that if you're moving you won't get that. you'll flip the ball to the shortstop.

Off topic I guess, but I have personally come to the conclusion that most sports games (the show included) should release a new game once every 2 years and the other years just have new rosters come out and charge whatever they need too. I was going to wait to buy the ps4 till later in the year bit after reading most of the early impressions... I fell for it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game and I've enjoyed it for years and am thankful for a good mlb experience. To me tho I just don't see it as much of an upgrade when considering the upgrades versus the bugs this year. Sadly tho if stats don't get a major boost in the next year or two I probably will pass on this game in the future. Stats are a huge part of baseball and for this series to be this far along with such an incomplete line a stats is shocking to me!!!

This is one of the first articles written by OS that i disagree with.
If you spend time trying to find something wrong with EVERYTHING in life, then you will be very unhappy.
This game is great...this article is just trying to hard to complain
