MLB 14: The Show

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

That's called being a Cub.

Haha, that's awesome.

That happened to me though too. I was demolishing opponents and crushing homers left and right, so I upped the difficulty and wound up struggling to compete. At first, I thought maybe it was unbalanced, but then I realized that I was the Blue Jays.

Sometimes you're too good as a player on one difficulty, but your team is just not good enough when you move up a level. I mean, I've totally had it happen in games where it's completely unbalanced and the difficulty gap is insane... but The Show has been very good about that for as long as I can remember.

Yeah, it's called Dynamic settings. The idea is that the game will progress the difficulty depending on how you play. I think they said there are like ten levels to the difficulty. There's like Rookie, Rookie+, Veteran, Veteran+, etc. They apparently have a great structure so they don't promote you too fast, also.

For those with The Show on PS3, already have it for the PS4, or will be getting it Tuesday, wanted to let you know that the O.S.F.M rosters are officially out.

You can find it in the Roster Vault under the name "O.S.F.M 2014 O.D."

So excited that they were able to get this out before I pick up the game on Tuesday.

[The Buscher]

Can't wait to get a PS4 so I can play this on next gen. With the accelerated counts feature I should be able to actually zip along through a season.

[Meacon Keaton]

Player-lock is a feature I plan on using quite a bit. Maybe go through the line-up and play one game as a first basemen, next game as second base, etc. So ready for Tuesday.

[DYSI]

Why must the Nets/Heat series start on Tuesday??! I guess I'll have to wait until Wedensday before I can get a couple hours to play. :/

Two days!

One of the programmers is doing a live stream on Twitch. He just said that the MLB/MLBPA requires them to have a minimum amount of fans in each stadium so it doesn't make certain fanbases look bad. He said they then build on that minimum and if your team is doing well in franchise, more fans show up. And the better your team does, and the later in the season, the more fans you'll have and the more likely they are to be dressed in your colors. So the Marlins are likely to have a half full stadium of casual dressed fans, but if you're the Orioles and you're in the playoffs, you'll have a stadium packed with fans in orange and black. That's super neat.

He also said that later in the game, if the home team is getting blown out, you will noticeably see the stadium start to empty during the game.

That is so cool. This is going to be the best baseball game ever

[SeanDMan]

Madden had a similar feature in the 06-08 versions, it was sometimes a real lark watching the stadium empty out at the start of the fourth quarter.

So I'm swapping my Xbox for a PS4 to get this. This game has to be in my life.

[thatshortguy]

I asked for a PS4 and The Show as a birthday present. My wife agreed, but only after she managed to score a $1,000 Old Navy VISA credit card.

This is likely a trap, but I don't think I care.

[Maxx]

Yay!!!!! New PS4 friends!

[Twist]

I got my ps4, it immediately blue lighted on me. I do however have a day to replace it before UK release!

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm sitting outside of GameStop in my car right now. I think I'll spend the last fifteen minutes with my face pressed up against the glass of the door.

[Twist]

I've got to wait until tomorrow (tried working around by getting through a US account but far too much hassle for getting the game a day early). I have a working PS4 though, so that's a win.

[DYSI]

Installing!

Love the intro.

[Meacon Keaton]

For those of you without, it's nothing special.

Just kidding. This game is wonderful.

[Twist]

Waiting one more day is just too much! Its downloading!!!!!!!

[DYSI]

Oh man these graphics are beautiful.
