News: Baseball season has started which means that MLB 14 The Show is now available on PS3 and PS Vita.

Baseball season is here and that means that MLB 14: The Show is out today for the PS3 and PS Vita. This latest iteration of Sony’s popular baseball franchise adds quite a few features that fans have been requesting for years. These new features include:

The ability to carry over saves year after year in subsequent versions of The Show

Quick counts which significantly reduces the amount of time required to play a full nine inning game

Online Franchise Mode

A revamped Road to the Show experience

"Our vision is to give fans the most authentic, feature-complete gaming experience in the sports genre," said Chris Cutliff, director of production at San Diego Studio. "Year-to-Year saves is just one of the many features we added to The Show this year that will redefine the current landscape of sports video games and we're determined to continue on this path in the pursuit of perfection."

The PS4 version of MLB 14: The Show will be available next month on May 6. The PS4’s version of MLB 14: The Show will deliver photo-realistic stadiums, lifelike player models, four times the texture resolution and beautiful lighting that brings the ballpark atmosphere to life more effectively than ever.

There will also be a new Community Challenges feature (available on both PS3 and PS4) which will enable the game’s huge fan base to freely customize game situations and scenarios on the fly, setting the inning, score, who’s on base, and even where the ball is hit. These custom scenarios can be bundled with a creative set of goals and put forth as a challenge to the community, whether it’s to relive the past, change history or dream of new possibilities.

"MLB 14 The Show is another home run in the vast ecosystem of PlayStation games," said Asad Qizilbash, senior director, first party games marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America. "PlayStation remains the best place to play baseball thanks to San Diego Studios' continued commitment to innovation along with its unmatched ability to deliver some of the most sophisticated features in sports video games."

MLB 14 The Show is available today at local retailers as well as digital download for PS3 and PS Vita. It is available on PS3 (and PS4 next month) for $59.99 and on the PS Vita for $39.99. Which version will you be picking up? Let us know in the comments below.
