Is there an advantage to DL'ing The Show 14 over getting a hard copy?

Other than not having to swap out discs? No.

I would say the only advantage is being able to install the game to your hard drive before the release so that you are able to play it as soon as you download it. Whereas those who purchase the disc have to install the game before playing

you wont be able to trade it in for $2 after the show 15 comes out.

Okay, let's say I don't care about a trade in. I am wondering if the load times are faster for the direct download. But then again, this is PS4, so maybe that is not really the case anymore like it was on PS3.

No benefit other than swapping disc's and the trade in as mentioned

I'm guessing they mean it's on multiple discs? It was never on multiple discs before.

Bruh, do you even console?

You are playing The Show 14

You decide, frick this, I can't hit Adam Wainwright to save my left testicle. I would like to play some Killzone. Wait though, I have to walk to my console and change out the discs in order to do that. Nevermind, I'll just play a game against the Braves instead, they are terrible at Baseball, and will be a much easier foe to compete against.

It's a double-sided bluray disc. They had to use both sides because building the new stadiums required more storage. So when you play interleague games, you have to take out the disc and flip it over. It's a pain in the arse but totally worth it for the level of detail in these damn stadiums. It even has the Waffle House in Atlanta.

I think sometimes I'm too dumb to realize how dumb I am.

Was watching a trailer, it was absolutely amazing. They even captured that no longer wanting to live emotion on the face of the 50 year old waitresses.

Doesn't look like they are up yet.

I see the PS3 version, but not surprisingly PS4 isn't offered through there yet.

So it's as realistic as people are saying.

So far downloading the game from the PSN has been a nightmare. So much for the available at 12:01 crap.
