No, it's not an April Fool's joke. Sony has finally announced the release date for MLB 14: The Show and it will be on the PlayStation 3 and Vita on April 1st. For those with a PlayStation 4, Sony has just said it will be released in the month of May.
Miguel Cabrera is the cover athlete, and deservedly so. He's had some monster couple of years lately. 50 new features will be in the game and an all new UI design for the PlayStation 4 version. Those with the PS3 and Vita versions will not get the new UI sadly.
Sony's pretty excited for the game debuting on the PlayStation 4 and who can blame them. The game looks really amazing from the screenshots and video. The Show is certainly one of the best sports games around and Sony's looking to hit it out of the park with the PlayStation 4 version.
There are items that can be picked up by earning Stubs. These Stubs can be purchased or you can play the game to earn them that way. Sony has said that the rate at which you can earn Stubs is generous, so let's hope this is true as I'd hate to see things that are nice to have be hard to get unless you pay money.
I haven't payed The Show series in a few years, but I loved them when I did. You can bet I'm picking this one up once the PlayStation 4 version is released.
