First Roster Update for MLB 14: The Show
MLB 14: The Show arrived last week but the usual roster update that accompanies sports games for release was absent.

Smart Design Decisions Overshadowed by Reliability Concerns in Early MLB 14: The Show Online Franchise Mode Testing
While SCEA revealed some of the framework to Online Franchise for MLB 14: The Show the company never explained the actual logistics of the mode. Baseball inherently presents challenges like the length of the season and time requirement to play games which necessitates chunks of them being open on the schedule for example - but then how are rotations, injuries, and fatigue handled when not playing games in any specific order?

Early Assessments of Quick Counts and Player Lock in MLB 14: The Show
SCEA made two time-saving features the most marketed additions for MLB 14: The Show.

Of the two options developed for MLB 14 at least one is proving to be a worthwhile option to consider. (more…)...
