Assuming MLB 14 The Show releases on the first Tuesday of March, as the series has since 2008, then weâre five weeks from its anticipated launch and we have to go to freaking Taiwan for our first look at gameplay video. The game hasnât even gotten an official release date. Sony, you owe baseball fans some news. Now.
In the west, all weâve seen so far is the same comparison shot of Fenway Parkâs scoreboard that weâve seen since November. Whenever I inquire, if Iâm told anything, Iâm told that news is coming âsoon.â
Operation Sports uploaded these vids from a reader today, along with the authorâs notes of a change to the fielding and batting cameras, more responsive fielding, different baserunning animations and âpresentation almost the same!â which it has been for several years (itâs the weakest attribute of an otherwise excellent series).
Earlier this week OS noted that MLB 07 The Show, the first edition of the series on PlayStation 3, launched May 15, 2007, following the PS2âs traditional release (then on the last Tuesday in February 2007). Is Sony being mum because the entire series is delayed? Because one version is coming out later than another? I donât know; I ask repeatedly and get no answers. I canât subpoena this shit.
I guess weâll find out only when The Show feels like enlightening us. But itâs very off-putting that one of sports video gamingâs best and most trusted series, this year facing zero competition, canât even give longtime fans a five-week heads up to start saving for the annual purchase.
