Are graphics getting touched in 19?

It's a great looking gane of course but I've seen little to no mention of any graphical upgrades.

Any word on this? Cheers

Don’t think much of anything has been said yet, but they usually talk about that near the end. There’s always at least a few new bits of eye candy, so we’ll just have to wait and see what it is this year.

I’m not holding my hopes up considering there’s also nothing on the stream schedule. The dirt and uniforms could really use an upgrade in my opinion but it doesn’t look like anything has been touched.

I’m also hoping for dynamic weather every year...

I heard Ramone once say that it always takes them around 3 cycles on a new console to reach “graphical maturity” so I think everything it pretty much maxed out now. I must say it still runs smooth in 2K resolution and it looks pretty awesome on my Oled screen.

I think we won’t see any big graphical strides until the PS5 comes around the corner.

Things have changed for night games a little bit. Dusk skies are now purpler instead of that brown color, and I think the light shining on players may have improved as well (maybe more shadow crevices or something, not sure... but it seemed to be the case in the trailers).

You shouldn't expect too much improvement though.

The graphics look pretty solid if you ask me. I'm looking forward to what the PS5 can bring when the time comes.

I'm more interested if the frame rated drops have been addressed. The series used to be buttery smooth 60 fps when I started playing back 2012, and though graphics have improved slightly over the years, the performance has taken a huge dip.

The really need to do something about the graphics. For the last few years, every time a new game comes out, I feel like I've played it already. The game is extra stale and not worth $60 anymore. The updates are more marginal than every other sports game it seems.

I think it's more a hardware issue/limitation than anything else. Fewer PS4 games run a solid 60fps than PS3 games. Framerate was sacrificed for higher resolution.

Well unless they fired their graphics department I would assume so...

haven't seen a dip on my Pro. Thanks to performance mode option.

I do find it odd that we haven't heard anything regarding graphics for this year. I remember in one of the earliest gameplay videos from last year Ramone mentioned that uniforms were the big focus graphically for 18, and it was mentioned as well in the Twitch schedule in the Little Things stream. This year they don't even have a Little Things stream. I wonder what the graphics department has even worked on for this year. I've noticed adjustments for front jersey numbers and chest logos, but beyond that there doesn't appear to much of a difference.

My guess is that they believe they have tapped out, so to speak, graphics-wise for this generation and the graphics dept have shifted their focus to the PS5 version which would probably be The Show 21, if rumors for the arrival of net-gen are correct. SDS almost assuredly has access PS5 dev kits so it really wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. This way they have basically 3 years to work on new graphics instead of the usual 10 months. Honestly, I'm okay with that, but only if they actually address the problems I've had with uniforms for this generation.

I was hoping by now we'd see dynamic weather, retractable roofs in progress, rain delays, and build your own ballpark, especially since we've seen glimpses of these graphical wonders in other games in this generation and last but alas apparently not to be until PS5.

They added rain delays last year.

Am I the only one that in all the exhibition games I played as practice + 162 Franchise games + the Postseason did not get ONE rain delay?....or was that feature not for Exhibition and Franchise...seems like they only care about DD and Road to The Show, honestly.
