MLB 14 The Show Video and Screenshots - The Stadiums (PS4)

01:15 PM - April 7, 2014 by smiley3

We just received a new video from Sony of MLB 14 The Show featuring the new and improved stadiums in the game. The video centers around the theme of "The Cathedrals Are Better."

We have also grabbed plenty of screen captures from the video. You can take a look at them in the screenshots section.

Some tidbits:

PS4 allows for individual blades of grass to be modeled allowing for more realistic striping of playing surfaces.
Up to 1,000 unique character models in the stands. Kids will be amongst the spectators.
Bat boys are included.
Better color depth and accuracy, especially for night games. Seriously watch the video it looks amazing.

Be sure to check out the video and let us know what you think of the new and improved graphics.

Very rarely do you see the below color sky when in the stadium: They need to get rid of this sky in the transition. It's kind of ugly. In the end though, any of this will be okay if the batter-to-batter transition isn't too sudden when it goes to black, like it has been for the past six years (including this year on PS3).

Living in So Cal you see that pinkish cloudy sky everyday, they got it right.

Personally, I don't mind so much that there are duplicates. The only thing that bugs me is that you have 5-20 people in a shot doing the exact same thing at the exact same time, like they're all quickly sitting down in unison. That freaks out my brain. I know it must be tough to keep track of the animations of all the people in the stands, but I still hope something can be done about it in the next year or so. Even if it's just making the animations start in different places or something.

The stadiums do look beautiful! Very happy to see something on them, and can't wait to see them in action more in the coming weeks.

The only complaint I have, which I had with the PS3 version too, is the black abyss of the main concourse at PNC Park. Not a few lights or anything, just black. Big deal, no. But it is just something I notice.

My pants nearly evaporated when that happened. That Zimmerman shot was insane.

You missed my point by a long shot.

I know of the pink sky, I lived in San Diego from 2006-2011. I'm not denying that at all. My first image was in response to another user hoping that sky wouldn't be in the game.

I'm talking about the gray sky.

Yep, same here. No complaints.

That Lighting................ Good holy F**k!

BIG hats off to SCEA devs...you really nailed the lighting. It looks so incredibly great. I'm literally speechless. WOW!

# 111 dubplate @ 04/07/14 06:11 PM

I'm already having trouble putting the PS3 version down. God help me when the PS4 version drops. To quote the poet Bart Scott, "Can't wait."

Thank god for this post. When I first watched it I was like, "Well it's better, but not as much as I thought it would be from the screenshots."

Then I went to 1080...

This just looks incredible. Glad to see they got the HR sculpture at Marlins Park right! I just hope that they got the home/away bullpens switched, too.

You were replying to me but I didn't mean I didn't want pink sky in the game. I just didn't want to see the super clean photoshop gradient of a sunset like the ps3 version.

# 115 Ryan97 @ 04/07/14 06:24 PM

WTF This looks incredible. The Stadiums are jaw dropping.

# 116 Scottsomnia @ 04/07/14 06:31 PM

Looks incredible . Loving the ps3 version but don't know how I can play it after seeing that

# 117 Daruff79 @ 04/07/14 06:34 PM

# 118 Bat @ 04/07/14 06:36 PM
