Posted on March 16, 2014 at 1:25 pm

As we now have already learned, sports games are set to go looking very pretty on next generation consoles. 2K Sports proved that it’ll have the prettiest sports online game ever with NBA2K14, but Sony is at an in depth second with MLB 14 The Show.

Sony revealed today its San Diego studio is tricky at work on MLB 14 The Show. This may be the primary entry within the series to land at the PS4, however the long-running sports franchise may even happen at the PS3 and PS Vita besides. You may overlook those old versions though because the team showed off the primary footage of the PS4 version today, and it’s looking outstanding:

It’s on no account NBA 2K14 pretty, however the models are a distinct step up from where they were at the PS3. It makes the nature models in EA’s NBA Live 14 for Xbox One and PS4 the whole more embarrassing.

The team also notes that the PS3 only allowed them to create 42 unique models for the crowds inside the game, however the PS4 lets them have 1,000 unique models. Which may just be unsubstantiated hype, but I’m sure somebody will actually take some time to sweep throughout the audience models to determine in the event that they repeat.

As for gameplay innovations, here’s what the San Diego team says players can expect out of MLB 14 The Show:

  • We know the way much effort and time our fans put into their Seasons, Franchises, and Road To The Show players. So beginning with MLB 14 The Show, now you can carry over your saves to future versions of MLB The Show. MLB 14 The Show lays the muse for year-to-year saves, meaning you never ought to worry about starting your Franchise or Road to the Show seasons over!
  • For a number of you, full 9-inning baseball games is also too long in your liking, so we’ve created an all-new Quick Counts option, which utilizes generated pitch counts allowing gamers to play through full games faster than ever. Realistic statistics during this shortened gameplay experience haven’t been compromised. Users will now manage to play a whole 9 inning game in lower than half-hour, essentially cutting traditional game times in half.
  • We think Road To The Show is the deepest, most realistic single-player experience in sports games, and we’re making it even better. a number of the new features include a brand new advancement system, new intuitive player creation process, and all new pre-draft prospect showcase.
  • And finally, what makes baseball great are those “big moments.” The ability of PS4 will allow gamers to share those moments using the recent “share feature” by capturing and publishing their most thrilling baseball moments, from hitting a game-winning grand slam, to choosing off a runner in the beginning for an important win in a global Series game.

    • All of here is well and good, nevertheless it shall be interesting to determine what 2K Sports does in retaliation with its own baseball franchise. MLB 2K13 was rumored to be the last within the series after it was met with bad reviews and sales, but 2K Sports should want to give it a different shot. In the end, without MLB 2K14, anybody and not using a PlayStation console won’t be getting a 3-hitter next year.

    MLB 14 The Show will launch within the Spring of next year on PS3, PS Vita and PS4.
