MLB 15: The Show Cover Goes to Yasiel Puig
SCEA has just announced the cover athlete for MLB 15: The Show. The honor goes to Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig. Puig does have a history with SCEA as he was part of a live stream promoting the PS4 version of MLB 14 prior to its release back in April and he's a big personality. However he may be considered an odd choice given his divisive nature and inability to act as a strong spokesperson for the product - not to mention his poor performance late in the season that led t...

You Should Be Playing Tap Sports Baseball
Mobile games these days are largely dominated by free-to-play offerings that pressure users to spend money. Often it's about spending money just to be able to continue playing the game rather than the more traditional paying for optional upgrades or bonus content. This has resulted in a reliance on "whales" - the incredibly small percentage of users that account for the majority of the revenue - and creating a game that will hook them. They'd rather do that than make the game fun and invitin...

MLB 14: The Show All-Star Rosters Updated
This week's roster update for MLB 14: The Show included the players for the All-Star Game which takes place this evening. The participants for the game were selected over a week ago but the starting pitchers and batting order were unveiled just yesterday. Unfortunately due to the timing that meant SCEA made a lot of guesses and the result are a number of inaccuracies. More disappointing (as the starting pitcher and batting order can be changed) is that players who have been added to the r...
