MLB 14 The Show: Little Issues Hampering the Fun

[Nero84]

Only real big issue for me is the inability to execute a hit and run play. Runner slides into 2nd every time and it needs to be fixed.

. You know, I've never been negative towards the show like I have the last two years. Having said that, I shouldn't have said that. I have my reasons and thoughts on the game and I'll leave it at that. I don't need to make a declaration on if I'm getting the game anymore.

I did one to perfection on the PS4. Schafer on 1st & Heyward at the plate. I que up Schafer to steal or run and guess the location of the pitch to Heyward. Heyward hit a gapper to the right-center wall. It resulted in Scafer scoring and Heyward in for a 3B. Schafer didn't slide automatically he kept running. I Que the advance to each base myself...

I don't see much of what the OP is seeing. IMO it's the best show to date. My only wish is that they would fix the edits with shoes and hat brims. To some that's a small thing but to me it's not. I respect everyone's issues no matter how I personally feel. What's important to me isn't to the next guy and vice versa.

That's weird I actually found this aspect to be excellent. When I am at home down by 1 the crowd is louder and boos a close strike call much louder than they boo it in the 1st or middle innings and if I'm ahead in the count they start to get louder in anticipation. Same in reverse when I'm on the road.

It happened to me one time like you said but I was in Houston near the end of the year where they were like 30 games back and the stadium was empty.

I have found 2 things that are really irritating for RTTS,

I know it has been mentioned before, but, when I am on first I am getting 4 to 6 pick off attempts per PITCH. I have had as many as 10. Seriously I am spending more time diving back into first than the rest of my game takes. I realize my guy is a 95 speed, but, come on.....and after the 7th one in a game last night my guy broke his leg.....which is also weird cause he dives back in head first.

Other thing, in franchise when I turn a double play I can preload my throw to first with my SS. In my RTTS I all most always have to wait until the ball is in my hand to input my throw. Is this because my guy isn't the greatest defensively or is this a problem unique to RTTS?

I have a question and I'm not sure where to post it. I'm playing in an online franchise with the St. Louis Cardinals and I don't understand how the AI is able to steal 2nd base at near a 100% clip. It seems like having Molina as my catcher is making no impact on the defensive end which is insane.

I am assuming I'm making the mistake. When I make the pitch I immediately hold the triangle button to make Molina throw to 2nd base and the player stealing almost always beats the throw.

Can someone please tell me how to make throws in this situation or just in general? I always hold down the button of the base I want to throw it to until he throws the ball.

BTW, this is my first time playing The Show. I came from the 360 to the PS4. Thanks in advance!

"Little issues hampering the fun" Come on who are you trying to kid? This game
Is an abomination. San Diego Studios should be ashamed of themselves for even releasing
it. Its nearly Impossible to complete an online game without getting an error booting you out of the game.
SIX STRAIGHT ERRORS IN A ROW the last time I have tried to play. Before
that if if you could complete a game there would always be something happening different than
what the other player saw. In other words on my screen looked like the ball was thrown away
while on the other players screen it wasnt and I would be
"magicaly thrown out easily arriving at the extra base. Its pure BS
This game should never have been released at all. Im renting from here on out.
This game makes 2K MLB Games look like the pinnacle of online gaming.

AGAIN SHAME ON SD STUDIOS FOR RELEASING THIS GARBAGE!
