However I recall hearing that the ps3 was very hard to develop games on in the beginning and that the ps4 is actually easier to develop games on, so therefore thinking that SCEA might have a easier time creating MLB 14 on the ps4 than what they did on MLB 07 for the ps3, initially being able to harness more power out of the ps4 than what they could on the ps3 the first time around. More than likely I'm reading to far into what Russell said, but I'm not game developer nor work in the industry so I'm totally speculating.

07 on PS3 was sort of dissapointing and in 08 the game was a huge improvement. The issues with the hardware could have been an issue, but it could have also been as simple as a lack of resources (money) and time. I think people need to put things in perspective though. They had years to tune the game on PS3 and its at an incredible place right now. If they can simply replicate the experience on PS4 with a new shiny paint job that would satisfy a lot of people, including me. We need to look at comparables like NBA 2K14 an FIFA 14. As people have said the features should be the same between systems, they weren't even in NBA 2K14. I'd assume there are some added benefits on PS4, but I am not expecting as huge of a leap as maybe some others are. If the game plays as well as it has on PS3 and runs at a smooth 1080/60fps that will be more than enough for me for the first game on a new console.

Looks good I'm really excited for Online Franchise. I've always wanted a baseball game to have this feature. Definitely became a day one buy for me.

You guys need to put into perspective the change of paradigm, pretty much, that happened with PS2 to PS3. You were working on complex, intimidating, and hard to program for hardware. Altogether weak hardware relative to what it could have been with a decent GPU and extra RAM.

All the sudden you were using complex shaders on an entirely different interface with tools hardly considered to be decent.

They may have not had a lot of time on the PS4 but development will have been 300x easier once they, if they had not previously, get the old codebase up and running (whatever they are keeping that is). Not saying it's easy peasy just that now is a different and nicer, gentler world than those days were to teams.

A few things I hope make it into the PS4 version. I've never had any issues with gameplay I've always been an equipment guy and true to real life feel of the players and ballpark.

Tor,AZ,Mia,Sea,Hou,Mil all get at least the options of opened and closed roof(I could care less if it opened during game, just want the option to choose before the game starts or if bad weather is the forecast it'll automatically do it is fine by me).

The player editor:I'm hoping they open up the customization. Example(NONE OF IT NEEDS TO BE NAME BRAND everyone already knows why) More batting gloves, Mitts(Trapeze,Web,Hinge Etc) More variations in the glasses, jewelry, shin guards, variation in pine tar on the bat(only has 1 type now). Get rid the player wearing the MLB The Show Jersey and put him in his real team uni the player editing would be easier and faster. Home/Road equipment(This applies to things like batting gloves,catcher's gear etc...) More variation in catchers gear such as allowing us to edit the colors of the masks and helmets(hockey style) and different mask types(Think Jorge Posada a while back).

I'm the opposite. First time out on a new platform I want the gameplay to be as bug free and realistic as possible. I've played literally thousands of games in manage mode - not simming - and I have edited zero players.

lets hope so, I honestly don't think Ive seen that in any other sports game, at least in the last gen.
