MLB 14: The Show

[Maxx]

PS4 features!

Let us also use this thread to begin talks of a possible league!

[Meacon Keaton]

"Possible league"? There will be a league. Even if I have to run the damn thing myself. The Operation Sports rosters should be done by May 6th, so I figured we could use those rosters since they have all 30 teams minor league rosters complete. We should try to get a head count of who is up for it.

I'm so excited for this game it isn't even funny.

[Your Mom]

Me! I'm in

[DYSI]

I call dibs on the Yankees... and Miguel Cabrera.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm fixin' to play an offline as the Yanks, so I'll let you have them.

[Your Mom]

I'm going to play offline as the Cubs so I'll...still be the Cubs

[Maxx]

I think I'm going to take a half day when this comes out.

[Meacon Keaton]

If the baby isn't here by then, I'm thinking of taking the whole day off.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I'm definitely in.

[SeanDMan]

The new features sound hilarious. "We know baseball is a boring game, here is a way to make it less tedious!"

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I really thought I'd hate Quick Counts, but I've learned to enjoy them quite a bit. There is only one thing about them I don't like which is that pitch counts are almost always much higher than you'd like since you never get a first pitch or second pitch out.

[Gabriel]

Quick counts are a great addition for players that don't like the grind of the full game. I'm going to continue to leave them off, but it's a nice feature that they have added.

Road to the Show has been fun so far, but not much of a difference. I started a Franchise as the Astros to get the hang of any franchise changes before I start my year-long quest with the OSFM rosters. The biggest thing I've noticed is that the drop-off in stats isn't as steep as it was last year, thankfully. Trades seem to be easier for me to make, but I'm also trying situation appropriate deals. I got CC Sabbathia out of New York for a couple of propsects because I was making a playoff run, and the Yanks were last in the East. If anything, the trading may be too easy to load up on star players.

I also, for the first time ever for me in the Show, drafted a player that made my MLB team in his first year (though he only started in August), and then in season 2, he was my number one catcher, supplanting Jason Castro, who's overall was a not too shabby 84 at the time.

Prospects seem more realistic this year, but like I said, it seems like the trading is too easy right now.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm glad that the OSFM rosters will (or should) be out when this drops on the PS4. No waiting to start my franchise. I'll be able to jump right in and waste the day away.

[Meacon Keaton]

It's a day late, but it's too pretty not to post...

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I am so excited to play this game on the PS4. It looks stunning.

[Meacon Keaton]

There are quite a few guys over on Operation Sports from Canada, Scotland, and England who already have the game. Stupid foreigners.

[Maxx]

It's our goddamn pass time!

[DYSI]

Hmmm... wait four days or buy round trip tickets to Canada.

Someone with an early copy is streaming. Good god, this game is gorgeous.

[Your Mom]

Looks amazing. I love that someone said there are difficulties in between too. Like I got bored because on Rookie I would score 12 runs every game but the next one up I could never win a game
