MLB 14 The Show Available As Day 1 Digital Download Available to Download Now (PS4)

04:28 PM - May 5, 2014 by Steve_OS

MLB 14 The Show will be available as a Day 1 digital download at 12:01 AM EST on May 6th. (SEE UPDATES BELOW) Similar to how users were able to download the PS3 version, expect it to be available at that time, give or take a few minutes.

It doesn't appear as though you will be able to pre-download, as some hoped with the latest PlayStation update. VG24/7 noted Watch Dogs will be the first game available for pre-download, releasing on May 27th.

UPDATE: As of 10:30 AM EST, the game is still not available to download.

UPDATE #2: Due to unforeseen technical issues, MLB 14 The Show for PS4 is not currently available for download via the PlayStation Store. All parties are working as quickly as possible to remedy the issue. We�ll update this post as soon as a resolution is reached. Thank you for your continued patience.

UPDATE #3: Based off of the many responses, the download should be available for everyone now.

And the year before, and the year before that, etc.

To varying degrees, though. And this is one of the more extreme reactions I've seen.

Definitely not true..... Philly fans are passionate about their sports and, although I don't act the same way, give their team and players crap when they're not performing the way they should. They're also VERY supportive when things are going in the right direction and applaud a hard fought season, even if it doesn't end in a championship

Of course, there are some terrible fans though, like with every city

I understand maybe it being delayed 15-20 minutes.. but it's not good to advertise for a time and be delayed 45 mins-1 hr.. this is my first ever pre order digital and it has left a bad taste, yeah I can wait, but that is not what I was promised. Is what it is, but I can safely say Sony has lost me as a digital consumer and hope to god, discs never go away.

All well and fine, but perhaps Sony should phrase the download like a tv cable appointment. You'll be able to download between 12 and 6 am.

The plan for me was to get a power nap in the evening and thanks to Pens and Rangers, I had that. Then, wake up at 12, start downloading, get back to bed and wake up for training at 5, get back home around 12 pm and play.

Well, I think I missed a variable somewhere. Yep, the only thing I couldn't control. It's not that bad, it's just a game. Still, it would have been nice that the game was on at 12:01. No need to get in a corner and cry neither, which I might do in a few minutes anyway

I know one thing, I won't be doing this ever again.

He's unbelievable, had a good game today, just made that one mistake. Thankfully Hosmer picked him up, time for Holland to shut it down, barring insurance runs from the offense.

I think the biggest problem is the beers here are freaking huge so about a 3rd of the stadium is drunk.

I want to say GTA wasnt available for me and my friends till 1:45 EST. Might have been 12:45 though.

The thread title states it will be available at 12:01 EST. But since we are in daylight savings time, it is currently 12:45 EDT, but only 11:45 EST.

I'd take a slow download over no download, which is what I'm currently getting.

My fantasy team needs saves. No more than 2 more runs.

Yep, this is the first pre-order digital for me as well. Sure as heck, not doing it again. Only did it because I had $60.00 in my PSN wallet from a Christmas gift I received.

There really is very little incentive to go digital at this point.
