    I did notice rain effects were pretty good.. You will notice rain drops in batters box.

    The issue is definitely not the xbox. After the last patch it doesn’t feel that smooth on the series x. All other major sports titles look graphically better and run at a locked 60fps on the series x during gameplay. Well at least madden and NBA2K21. The moment you hit a foul ball it becomes a chugfest and it happens during fielding as well sometimes. This is really disappointing to be honest.

    NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.

      And it's definitely not bc the Series X can't handle the game either. Bc it can. I just think the port over to Xbox from PlayStation didn't go smoothly. Hopefully they can smooth it out in a patch bc the game runs flawlessly on the PS5.

        One of the reasons we didnt see any graphical overhaul either.

        Impressions of having the game since 4 day early launch


        Organic gameplay...

        Great pitching and hitting and the fielding (although still wonky when players run like fast robots to the landing spot) is much improved from the controller standpoint...

        Graphically its just polished and smooth but there is ZERO wow factor or any feeling of man does that look amazing...

        That happened maybe with mlb 17 since then its just been the same "this is great"

          I have a PS5 and the same slow downs...especially on the first pitch in a newly loaded stadium are still there. It isn't a system issue. It appears that it is still loading something in, but, it also happens at randoms times in games. Last night I had a lot of them. Probably has something to do with the online component too. In years past I have heard of people disconnecting from the internet and not having it happen.

            I have had 0 issues on XSX even post patch. NBA2K21 doesnt have ground breaking improvements in graphics either. The lighting (in nba games) is incredible but everything else is the practically the same. 2K also only runs 60fps offline. It's not even close to 60fps online. Framerate has always been crappy online for 2K games.

              I dont know how other PvP modes are but in ranked seasons they 10000% need to allow us to see the opponents lineups. At the very least we need to see the pitcher. I have a nasty roster but if he's throwing a lefty, I have much better options on my bench from the right side. Then I have that lefty off the bench later in the game should I need him. But since we cant see our opponents lineup/pitcher, I am forced to either play with my lefty in the lineup or sub him out and lose him the rest of the game. It's ridiculous.

                Please fix the baserunning where my players will automatically try to turn around and tag up on contact when there are 2 outs. It makes leading off and making the runners go on a 3-2 pitch worthless since they just turn around anyway. Please fix this, it's been happening for years now.

                  In that instance, 2 outs and a full count couldn't you just make all the runners steal?

                    Yes, I do steal with them but if the ball is in the zone and I hit it, the runners turn around on their own as if they are tagging up. It’s so annoying that it happens at all but more annoying that it’s been like this for years.

                      Isn’t some of this part of the baserunning aggro rating? I know I see some guys stay put when I know it’s a hit so I hold the **** out of L1 to counter it.

                      Otherwise I don’t think I’ve ever seen what you’re talking about.
                      Just one man’s opinion.
                      I don’t actually care about any of this.

                        I think I know what you mean. My issue is when there are 2 outs and I hit a deep fly ball to the out field the runner(s) doesn't round the bases, they just stand on the next base. If the outfielder drops the ball and the runner starts running home he'll be out! This is with Auto Base Running. They should fix this but I doubt it. It's been like this for a while but not this bad like I am seeing with MLBTS21

                          So I haven't played RTTS since they did their updates to it. I decided to fire it up tonight and holy cow! All my attributes, equipment perks, etc.....everything works the way it's suppose to! I'm super stoked right now

                            Yeah, they do this with assisted base running as well. I have to hold the advance button to make sure they keep running which is no big deal. My guess is that they could not make the A.I. Smart enough to judge whether to keep running or not. I personally don’t have any issues with baserunning except for maybe stealing. I feel that auto baserunning would be more frustrating than assisted.

                              I finally got patient with this and learned how to advance runners and over ride the AI. For example if I have a runner on second and there's a hit to the outfield I'll flick the left stick towards 3rd and then press X and the runner will head home. When I looked at the window it looked like the runner was hesitating rounding third (there was a slight delay), but when I did the replay the runner motored around the base, no hesitation. Same with a runner going first to third. Flick the stick towards 2nd and press SQUARE. It's really helped my running game. Where I used to get frustrated with some of the decisions I've made the adjustment. There was some initial frustration with my coordination, and it took some forethought ("okay, I've got a runner on third, what do I do if the ball is hit to the outfield") Believe me, I'm not a button smasher and if I had to do manual base running I just could NOT play this game.

                                The year 2021 and I’m getting a golf-clap on a triple and wild cheers during random foul balls. Whoever’s in charge of these crowd reactions should be fired.
