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.

Debbie Downer incoming...

My impression of the stadiums is, meh.

Yeah, they look good but I'm not experiencing this jaw-dropping, come-to-Jesus moment like some of you guys are. Am I buying day one? Yep. Can I wait? Nope. But I just don't think it looks that much better than the PS3. Perhaps it because I am paying particular attention to the Wrigley Field shots. Notice on the doors on the outfield wall (not the ivy part), that there is still a blue "cubs.com" logo that looks completely out of place because it is just pasted over the door textures. If the stadiums were truly redone I don't see how that would get overlooked. I wish it actually looked as though it was part of the door.

But in the end, MLB 14 should be great and I'm pumped.

I do like the lighting, but I feel like they look too close to the PS3's overall model. I was hoping for a completely redone model. I can see the higher polygons and lighting, but alot of it feels the same with a moderate facelift, I'll have to play to be sure though, Never the less, very nice, just expected something different I suppose.

I can tell a difference, but not that much. Again, I'm stoked. The player models and faces look a lot better. But look back at the Wrigley Field wall. Again, meh.

Posts like this are the biggest compliment to Ramone and the team. Only a truly outstanding game could draw criticism this inane.

I agree.

Again, I'm not bashing anything here. Just simply stating my opinion on the video posted. It is funny, however, the difference between this forum and the Madden forums.

In this forum if one says something that it critical or points out something that isn't right they get jumped on. Over at the Madden forums it is the complete opposite. Every video, screenshot, etc. that is release is heavily criticized. I guess that's what EA get's for releasing an inferior product.

But my thought remains, if every stadium was truly and completely re-done, why would the artist doing Wrigley Field not make the doors look right? Copy and pasted most likely.

# 128 BSUFAN @ 04/07/14 07:04 PM

My goodness that looked so real!

They definitely weren't copied and pasted, but most likely visually referenced the PS3 models. Regarding what you are talking about, I did mention this to the stadium artist, but I assume they didn't get around to it. Technically, both doors have the same ad (UA) on them in real life, so I recommended the bear cub C on both (in-game), with three '3D' creases. Then again, this may not be final artwork... we'll see. Other than that, anything else that's not right?

Everything looks great other than all the kids having freakishly large heads and look like midgets.

# 134 tsbmolina @ 04/07/14 07:42 PM

Other then the huge heads in the crowd the game looks good.

# 135 JoeCoolMan24 @ 04/07/14 07:48 PM

I see that virtual Wrigley Field includes almost the EXACT LED ribbon stat line that has been missing from virtual US Cellular Field and that I've mentioned in multiple threads for the past 3 or 4 years now.

This year better not let me down and see US Cellular get ignored AGAIN.

# 136 merchant1874 @ 04/07/14 07:51 PM

I see the blue bullies are out again when they sniff a drop of criticism.

The game looks absolutely incredible though other than the weird kids and what looks like shared ps3 assets.

Does fenway still have the socks in the grass?

Absolutely can't wait to get this now.

# 137 RoyalBoyle78 @ 04/07/14 08:10 PM

Wow, that's all I can say wow!!!!

Was it oversized heads or was it because they were given those new protective helmets that are very big and large?

# 139 zack4070 @ 04/07/14 08:14 PM

My only grip is the Wrigley Field home run basket is huge in this game. Should be a lot smaller. But still awesome!!!

# 140 zrtelford @ 04/07/14 08:20 PM

I always thought the show thrived in the behind the pitcher camera, I mean it looked pretty bad *** on the ps3. but this....WOW, just wow. kudos devs. I totally feel good about my $400 ps4 and $700 1080p purchase now. Cant frickin wait!
