Stuttering during gameplay?

[Splitter77]

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

This has been an issue for a while with this series. Throwing to third or foul down third base line stutters regardless what stadium you play it

Its called screen tearing because the game drops constant frames from 60fps

was not fixed in 14 or 15 and i doubt it will be fixed in 16

Game breaker? Nope but is there for sure

that actually is a gamebreaker for me.
it sucks that its still in there.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

not again.
is there really framerate problems???

i thought it was 60fps this year.

it was 60fps the last 3 years and it drops from there a lot at times

foul balls down the baselines have stutter which has been there for a while in the show

I think the game only offers 60fps during pitcher vs batter interface

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

I'm confused to how this doesn't seem to be a universal issue, early impressions from over the weekend was stating the game played smooth as butter now today guys are having frame rate issues.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

I agree. The only variables here potentially are the monitors/TV or the person's perception. I have '15 and played part of a game on '16 today and noticed no stuttering whatsoever.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

Yeah I read in impressions thread that someone noticed low framerate in Wrigley. At least I think it was the impressions thread, there are so many right now...

Yeah that was me. Here's the post I made as it'll be kind of hard to go back and find at this point.

I guess I'll ask here.

Anyone getting a low framerate at Wrigley? It's playable, certainly, but it almost seems like a locked 30 FPS, even during gameplay. It's definitely not 60.

I'm sensitive to this stuff as a PC gamer (but not to the point where it affects my enjoyment of games).

I have to wonder, if I'm not the only one seeing this, if this was the tradeoff for not having the graphics downgraded after the pitcher selected his pitch in '15.

There's been one time in the first two innings where it looked like 60 - during a replay where basically nothing but the ball and sky were on the screen. When the ball dropped back down to field level the framerate dropped again.

Since then I played games in other stadiums and it wasn't AS noticeable (or maybe I was just getting used to it) but I know one thing for sure - it's not 60 FPS in gameplay, pretty much ever. I think the reason a lot of people aren't noticing is that the framerate is now more stable across the entire game - because gameplay rate is now lowered to the speed that the out-of-play scenes are.

I wish I could show it but the PS4 caps video captures at 30 FPS which makes it pointless. Maybe I can do an off-screen thing with my phone but I don't know.

I even noticed it in challenge of the week which is the same for everyone, so if you can't see it there, you might not be as sensitive to low framerate as some of us are. As someone pointed out 30 FPS is more like the industry standard these days, so it's just not as noticeable to someone who doesn't experience 60 FPS that much.

I'll be completely honest when I say that this was the first thing I noticed when starting up the game. Make of that what you will.

I was playing my 2nd game on ps3 . Balt minors Norfolk vs bowie and in 7th inning I hit a hr , they show opposing manager in dugout and game froze.Couldn;t get it back so I turned off the console.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

So they intentionally lowered the frame rate? Like I said, most games I play and sports games I play have better frame rate than the show 16 does right now. It changes the gameplay completely for me. I'm going to have fun with it most likely, but the game is not smooth at all.

My tv is an older Samsung and I tried the other hd tv in my house and have the same issue. I don't have any problems with frame rate for any other games right now so I don't see how it's my tv. Definitely a big bummer for an otherwise VERY good game.

I'm one of the early impressions that stated that I do not see any stuttering in the game at all. And I still don't.

Maybe I'm not sensitive to it, maybe it's my TV, or maybe I need to see an eye doctor, but I just don't see it.

EDIT: By saying this I am not disagreeing with or discounting anyone that is noticing/seeing it.

For the record, I'm on an Asus PC monitor, hooked up to the PS4 through HDMI. I also have a Samsung that I can set up to play the PS4 on as well.

But there isn't much point in that when I can fire up MGSV with the Asus and see that it's clearly running at 60 FPS the entire time. It has a smoothness that the Show used to have during gameplay (by which I mean pitching/batting/fielding), and it now lacks. It isn't my input display that's causing this.

I'm going to have to hook up the PS4 to my Samsung pc monitor then. I currently have it hooked up to my 4k tv and I see some stuttering.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

This game is suffering massively from framerate issues. Not AS bad as 14 but way worse than 15, which was pretty smooth.

90%+ of cutscenes are juttery/stuttering for me.
Club logo and 'show 16' swipes, often stop for half a second and are juttery.
Outfield plays suffer from framerate issues.
I've had the ball stutter toward me when I'm batting.

I can't express how dissapointed I am with this. Yes the game looks better than 15, albeit only slightly, but any visual improvements they've made for this version mean absolutely nothing because the game is horrible to watch, thanks to FR problems.

I have a huge amount of respect for the shows devs, it's obvious they genuinely care about their game, but they've dropped the ball here. We've basically gone back two years. It's effectively ruining the game for me.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

The stuttering is a show issue it has zero to do with a monitor or the type of tv you have. ZERO

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

if you play super mega baseball, then play this game, you will REALLY notice the framerate issues. Makes the game almost unplayable after playing the other game.

Great example, better than my MGS one since it's the same sport. Though I disagree on it being unplayable or almost unplayable - I played the Vita version for years so I can deal with pretty much anything and still have fun with it...lol.

Doesn't mean I don't want it improved. I feel like, as I mentioned before, this is the cost of not having the graphics downgrade for gameplay sequences, as the Show has done for many years. People wanted that - well.....they got it.

Re: Stuttering during gameplay?

Now that I see more people have this issue, is there anything SCEA can do in a patch to fix things? Aside from cutscenes in previous games (which I could deal with fine), there's never been this much stuttering.
