    As far as PS5 info goes, you're probably going to have to wait a while. MLB 14: The Show came out on May 6th for PS4, whereas its PS3/Vita counterpart came out April 1st. I don't remember how the info rolled out, but I'm pretty sure they're going to want to get as many PS4 sales as possible first before showing the current-gen stuff, plus the fact that they're probably working on it right now (and COVID may have made a staggering impact as well). COVID-19 also probably has a heavy impact on the way they do their general marketing, too.

    Though when the PS5 info comes out, the last thing I want to hear is "Feature parity." I am really, really hoping that this game was rebuilt. This still feels like it's on the PS2 engine (or at the very least still remnants of '08 on PS3) and I feel like part of its evolution has been from the lack of breaking from its old mold. Note that I'm not saying it feels like a PS2 game, I'm just saying that legacy bits of this game stem a bit from one of the positives that came from this brand of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I think it's time for us to get a real sense of next-gen by removing itself from its PS4 counterpart. I hope everything is reworked and nothing is ported over, including cameras (not because I don't like all of the cameras, but just an evidenced bit of knowing just how much we are actually getting from the past games).
    Speaking of cameras, I always thought it’d be a really cool feature to map out the locations of cameras in the real stadiums. Then for replays and cutscenes only use actual camera angles

      You and I both.

      I wish on manual replays you could re-access the main gameplay camera (which I've only seen before in ESPN Major League Baseball) and in-stadium cameras like those ones.

        Both cross gen games published by Sony so far have been free cross gen compatibility and I'd bet won't change. So hopefully they don't have a reason to not promote both games simultaneously.

        You are right that all the PS2&PS3 animations including stances and wind-ups need to go. They don't cut it anymore and the edit list is so big it's overkill anyways

          Also, the devs really need to consider making the uniforms actual cloth that has some physics to it.

          Not only was this done in MLB 2K7 (was overdone but still), but I just added a flag to a home run derby game I'm developing that moves realistically according to the wind strength and direction. I'm only one guy and I was able to do that. It's 400 vertices.

          They can do it. I know it'd be a big change, but it would add so much to what's already done so well.

          I only piggy backed this onto what I quoted because I have a feeling their game engine is what's restricting the cloth physics along with other things like the animations mentioned.

            Considering they are now supposed to be releasing on multiple systems and with covid, I can't imagine there will be a March release like normal. I think it will be a later than normal release such as May for all systems.

                      MLB the show 21 info is going at the same pace as MLB free agency is going.

                        You guys think they could have multiple commentary teams on PS5? I mean, obviously they can, I guess I mean will they. Would be cool because that way you could have one be your local network and save the other crew for national TV games.

                        You know what else would be cool would be a broadcast-creator where you can choose from different graphic overlays.

                        Also, they have got to do Heidi Watney justice on PS5. As the only lady in the game (well, other than the female fans in the stands), she should get a top notch face scan.

                          I really don't see multiple broadcast teams anytime soon, but I'd think it could have been done on the ps4 if they'd go from a 3 man booth to 2 2 man booths.

                          man it would be great to have Heidi join the Show broadcast team.

                            NBA 2k already does. They don't have different graphic overlays though.

                              I'm itching for info on 21. Last console generation, I had an Xbox One the entire time up until last year when I purchased a PS4 and also picked up The Show for the first time since MLB 13 The Show, and my love for the series was revived. I can't wait to see what the next few years bring for the The Show with the next generation.
