Yes I did, the framerate during cutscenes is just bad

Is there a review thread? I haven't seen any reviews for the PS4 version today. On the fence about this game, hearing long load times and poor frame rates.

Yeah because all online games work day 1. Or first month for that matter.
Have you heard of battlefield...

only two reviews i've seen so far is the ign one and venturebeat

Interesting. I thought there was a noticeable difference in the screens.
That's a damn shame. I usually play with the cutaways off anyway so it'll be fine for me but sucks for those who like them on.
Generally, yes, online works in games on day 1.
Have you ever heard of the shit storm that erupted when Battlefield online didn't work...

The waiting game sucks, let's play Battlefield 4...
I would partially disagree with this statement. Most high volume releases have some sort of issues day 1. Maybe not game breaking, but definite issues.

still can't believe stuff still ships with broken netcode these days. :\

can someone change the thread title to MLB 14: The Digital No-show

'Work: The Game of Real Life' has me distracted at the moment, but I sure hope I can get the download queued up soon so it's ready this evening.

Lets be real, not only is mlb a first party game but it does not have anything close to the massive online community as battlefield. Just because battlefield shipped broken (and still is) does not mean it's okay to excuse every game that does so as well.

most do. That excuse is just weak.. Battlefield/EA are in a class of their own for failure. Most deliver day one.

You can't wait a few hours for your game even though they said it'd be up at 12 AM EST? Grace Chen has a life too you know! The entitlement in this thread is astounding! /s
When the devs call it broken, it's broken. Spin that however you'd like.

I just got back from gamestop and it finished installing. I feel bad for all the digital buyers if it literally just came online right now.

Maybe they are afraid to have things up early....after GTAV leak. lol (that or just straight up incompetence)
Then again that would defeat the purpose of having preloading as a feature
Usually its just SCEA though...was it not up in other regions either? Are baseball games even sold in other regions?

Servers are getting hammered. At the current pace it will take me 68 hours.

What makes the online broken? Just curious? Is it lag or can you not play at all with a friend?

Got my copy from Amazon. The disc was loose in its case! Same thing happened with Infamous. I guess I should stop ordering games from there.

Timing based, although you can influence whether you want to hit the ball in the air or on the ground(at least you could in previous versions)
Depends on the control style you chose, you can have both.

Just got back from GameStop. Downloading now! Dude at GameStop wasn't able to get me my preorder code for the 20 dollar in game currency bonus though dammit. He told me to call them back later today to get it. That should be a fun call. Fuckin GameStop man...

You can't steer the ball though, as a RH batter if you're early the ball will go to the left side and if you're late up the middle or to the right side.
I have read a few pages of this thread and from the sound of it, MLB The Show is a huge disappoinent. Onlines busted, cars in the distance on bridges look like crap, beards look like they're made out of clay, choppy cut scenes, etc. Then you get into the actual "game" and you find it's the best, most complete, baseball experience to be had right now. Maybe ever. Can't we cut it just a little bit of slack to get some kinks ironed out? I have this game sitting at home waiting for me to play it for the first time and you all are seriously bringing me down.
Update--- I haven't tried to play online yet so I cant really speak to that, but this is an awesome game.

People just have high expectations based on the quality of previous games(and rightfully so). The game is still very good(at least form what I've seen/heard) and probably the best sports game around.
btw. only 48 hours left on my DL!
Good to know, that's how I prefer it. Thanks.
Holy shit guys. So I guess watching so many streams subconsciously lowered my graphical expectations. Since they're never sharp and always so compressed, I wasn't expecting just how razor sharp this game is. I play a lot of 2K, and while the player models look fantastic up close, you don't see that angle often. Since in baseball the player models are so much larger from gameplay angles, it's really impressive. Pixel perfect 1080p is where it's at.

Oh... Stop being the voice of reason!
If you go to the web store, click Games -> New This Week, it'll show up to purchase (for free).

Wonder if there is a play as you download option for the game. Don't suppose my download is going to be completed by the time I get home from work.

As far as I know the 6b is for an exhibtion match you can play while the PS4 downloads the remaning ~40GB.
OK and putting my Ps4 in standby will still allow it all to downloas , right?

I haven't played the ps3 version in years so this is a nice upgrade. A fun game with some hiccups but worth it for baseball fans. I am sure next year will be a significant improvement.
My Amazon copy arrived a bit ago. Installed and dove into an exhibition.
Loving it so far. Lots of little visual flourishes that add up to make it a solid upgrade over PS3 versions. Those that aren't impressed need to revisit the stadiums in the PS3 games. The increased geometry and higher res assets make a huge difference.
One annoyance thus far - what's up with the game image not properly filling my 1080p screen? I did a quick search and couldn't find this mentioned but I'm sure I just missed it.
