MLB 14 The Show Could Have Different Release Dates For PS3 and PS4

02:16 PM - January 23, 2014 by Steve_OS

While we wait on official word for the MLB 14 The Show release date, one has to wonder if the PS3 and PS4 versions will ship on the same day or not.

Looking back at MLB 07 The Show, the PS2 version shipped on February 26th, while the PS3 version didn't ship until May 15th.

I sent a note to Russell, but I'm not sure if he is allowed to elaborate on it. But he did have this to say yesterday.

	There's no conspiracy or grand design, everything is going according to our schedule for this year. There won't be any less information about the game than there was last year. The schedule is different this year that's all, nothing more nothing less.

Either way, it's fun to speculate, since we haven't seen anything new recently. Last year, we received the fact sheet on January 14th. We also saw some gameplay from CES last year at around this time, but it wasn't on display this year. Just taking a peek at our MLB 13 The Show page, we saw a few Developer Journals with hands-on impressions at the end of January.

Let's hope we see or hear something soon.

I really hope its not released that late, the PS4 is collecting dust already. There is nothing worth owning on that system just yet until The Show arrives.

I here you

I bought NBA 2K14 and Madden 25 with my PS4 on launch day and I play NBA 2K14 maybe 2 times or so a week at most and hardly ever play Madden 25 at all. Once MLB 14 The Show and Drive Club are released I will never put down my PS4 controller

If I had to do it over again I think I still would buy NBA2K14 as overall it's really a great game. It's just that I am no where near the basketball fan as I am a baseball fan. And I definitely would not buy Madden 25 if I could do it over again. I love the NFL but EA has once again let me down. Ea has not made a good football game worth buying since the PS2 days and it continues with the first PS4 version.. I was really hoping that Madden 25 would finally bring back the glory days of Madden but after playing it a few times I just got bored with it really quickly. And I can't trade it in because all I buy now is the digital download versions. It's really going to hard possibly having to wait another 3+ months to play a baseball game.

Disagree, but want to discuss lack of games further

That is what is bad with the digital downloads no returns, I only bought battlefield on the ps4 basically just have a game for the system, but that game is so mediocre I returned it with in the week and put the money I got for it towards The Show.

Just received an email regarding more ps4 available and at the bottom they listed upcoming PS 4 releases and MLB 14 the show is showing an available date of 4/1/14. I know this is the date we have always seen but first time i noticed in the emails I get from Gamestop. Here is a screen shot i took.

I also got the same email. They've had 4/1/14 for a while and it has always been assumed to be a placeholder date. But this got me thinking that maybe they have a little more confidence in that date if they are sending it out in emails.

It means nothing until it's confirmed.

Marketing teams and companies selling products are going to promote selling products with the information they are given. April 1st is still as of this moment a placeholder.

I do believe it is still a placeholder and the reason why is that i have received emails from gamestop with placeholder dates like this..and later down the road the dates are correct once the announcement has been official. Since there has been no Official announcement..there is no reason to believe this is the real date...and if it was, it would of been stated by now but it hasn't so again folks..hold on tight but this is a PLACEHOLDER DATE!

We can count on one thing...PS4 version will not release on the same date as PS3 version because this late in development they would know if they were going to finish on time as in past years release dates. So its more than likely going to release "later" than PS3 version.

I find it hilarious how a lot of people stumble across that release date and post something about it, then someone has to chime in informing them it is just a placeholder and that means nothing until confirmed by SCEA and then Johnny Tightlips likes the comment and never gives so much of a clue on when they might actually announce a release date, keeping us in suspense. Why Russell why? you could end this madness but you don't. LOL

If there is no news by mid Feb then don't expect a March ps3 release either. Then SCEA could release all the versions at the same time and save some people from from buying both the ps3 and 4 games.

Agreed. That is what I was thinking as well. Plus, if you notice, MLB 14 the Show is showing "Coming soon" right above it so im taking it as a place holder as well until confirmed other wise.

Plus, I noticed Russell "liked" your post so you are on the right track

Well Gamefly had the release for April 1st. Now it's April 15th.

I have a feeling if Sony announces a late release date of say "May.6, 2014" for PS4 version then the only thing that may keep a lot of us here from jumping off bridges is if the info, screenshots and video they release leading up to release simply blows everyone away!

Seriously MLB The Show is like a drug for some people. It's just so damm good and addicting!
