Can someone explain to me how they expect it to play different? It's baseball, the show already plays an amazing, authentic, realsitic game of ball, please explain?

Noticed a slight improvement in daytime light (clearly unpegged but the previous look was airway pretty accurate) but holy crap was that night time lighting amazing. I never could put my finger on why night games in the show didn't look as real as they could but now I can.

Similar sentiments for how players look when in the shade on the field.

They did a great job with the lighting.

Anyone looking for a gameplay overhaul this year was only fooling themselves. This year is all about 1080p 60fps baseball. Being on a message board and being apart of a small percentage, you should know how these sports cycles go by now.

I personally couldn't play the PS3 version knowing a much much better version was coming a month later.

Yes sir. Been to a ton of Curve games since Altoona was 15 minutes from my house. Always cool to see (in MLB2K at least, not sure about the Show) that they had that minor league stadium down with the roller coaster just past the right field wall.

The lighting really looks incredible. I get the feeling it's going to be like playing The Show for the first time again. The PS3 version is great, but it's starting to show its age and lose a little of its luster.

But I'm most happy about getting the same game with all of the same great features. They could have stripped down some of the modes (*cough* NBA 2K *cough*) in the interest of pumping out the game solely with better graphics. Kudos for not doing that.

So excited for this. Personally, I was hoping for a graphics overhaul and nothing else for this first PS4 version. And it looks like I got it! I still don't think the players will stack up to those on NBA 2k14, but the stadiums look fantastic. And my one major gripe with graphics on sports games over the years has been that night games never looked good. Most of my exhibition games have been set to "day" times to avoid looking at it, but this game is definitely going to have me playing night games way more!

That's what I genuinely want to know as well. I think people think we are being flippant when we ask these questions. Same for when I was asking about stadium issues.

Ramone talked about what the big difference maker was in the PSNation interview, and pointed out that on PS3, (most) people didn't notice what was missing. Once apparent, you really get a feel for how amazingly improved the lighting is on PS4.

I am pretty excited about this release. I know with WatchDogs releasing later in the month, my PS4 will get some extensive usage this summer.
I don't think complain is the right word more like compare would be better. If you love baseball video games I think you say it is essential the same game with new graphics and some other added things. I don't think when we play we it on ps4, you'll walk away saying this is a brand new game, it's baseball and I think The Show does that better then anyone has done before. I'm ok with the same gameplay and a much prettier landscape. In other words, they know what they are doing and I'm good with whateva they do.
