Why is this a shady decision? Why should they keep supporting an old game when there is a new one out? Pretty smart if you ask me, you force people to go out and get the new game.

I never bought a game because I was forced to.

So i'm guessing that the Show 15 servers will be shut down a year from now.

Maybe als to give the'15 servers more breathing room idk.

This is normal for SCEA to do this. Last year I believe it was August and the year before that I think it was MAY.

I don't think it is them forcing you to get new title if that was the case at launch of new game the previous title servers would go down then.

This is nothing new, they always shut down the previous years online servers down at some point.

They shut down MLB 13 in November of 2014. This one is being shut down 5 months sooner! What a joke!

I understand some folks will be upset because they are still relying on MLB 14 online functionality. But there is a trade-off. The way I understand it, MLB 14 servers are kind of a joke. I'm guessing the majority of users would rather see Sony San Diego put their time, resources, and especially money into supporting the MLB 15 servers to make them as improved as possible.

Granted, in the grand scheme, the cost of keeping a couple MLB 14 servers online for a few more months may not be that much.
