PS Nation - MLB 14 The Show Hands-On Report (PS3/PS4)

11:01 AM - February 13, 2014 by PSNation

There's a lot to digest folks, so here's my first article for MLB 14 The Show this year. Included is over 1,300 words, a video interview with Ramone Russell, Release Dates, and the new PS3 trailer.

I had hands-on with PS3 and (briefly) PS4, with additional time on both with Ramone. The Vita version was not onsite, but in terms of features, beside the smaller amount of Presentation (as always on Vita) the game is feature-complete across all 3 platforms.

Does anyone know if this quick counts or generated counts can be turned off? I understand the idea and think it's useful but please tell me I can turn it off if I choose.

No....I doubt that.
Those are all hand drawn.

Don't think visual. To me the editor is about players....not images. (sorry

As long as they don't clip through the wall as the bend over (or fall over) this could be fun to see how the crowd AI reacts.

Learned.

Anyway, there are other features to be announced. That's not all there is.

They've mentioned that generated counts are completely optional.

Awesome. If rosters are transferable, then we should hook up knight and co with a copy of the show on the PS3 so the rosters can be ready by the time the PS4 version drops. My PS3 bit the dust a couple of months ago so I am out of a PS3 but id be willing to donate to the "Roster Makers" fund for them to pick up the PS3 version if rosters are indeed transferrable.

I guess id be irrationally angry too since the Mets will be out of it by then anyway.

Yes...it's an option to choose when you start any game.

Don't forget, there are even more features being revealed soon. The Fact Sheet is supposed to be in our hands next week sometime, and I already know more than what I was allowed to post

That green color is not right...

If they add tattoos, baserunners wearing gloves, and umpires wearing jackets in cold weather...

I would just be over the moon.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about... they want to make the game the best it can be. I'd rather a game be delayed and be better than have it come out too early and be broken.

Knight, IGN said they always simulate the first three pitches of an at-bat. It's never the first two, one, or zero? Five? After that pitch after the first simulated pitches, can it "further simulate"?

Curious.

Knight is it possibly the ability to add player's real photos ?. I know we have talked about this before through PM. If so that would be awesome.

# 99 Tweeg @ 02/13/14 11:45 AM

The article says that with generated counts you will never come up to a 0-0 count. I hope that's not true.
