Will MLB The Show 22 look like a PS5 game?

I think the Tech Test looks pretty good and better than 21, but either next year or the year after The Show will really shine graphically. It's good right now, as well as the gameplay, which is most important, but fear not for graphics. They will come and likely be amazing.

Graphics have been largely the same since 2014

IMO, there's a certain visual "meta" to the created stadiums and they all tend to look the same after a while. If the devs used the vastly superior computing power on their end to create maybe 10 to 20 new fictional stadiums, they'd look better than anything that could be produced via a create-a-stadium feature. That said, the feature is pretty well done for what it is and what its limitations are.

Honestly I think just adding the ability to re-color objects and also maybe have an array of basic shapes that can be used to build new props (Planet Coaster style) would add a ton to make created parks more unique. Just being able to change the color of the wall at the bottom of each deck would be huge. Custom signs would be amazing as well.

More city-based backdrops would also help. I don't remember what the actual templates were, but I joked about there being something like: city, beach, mountain, farm, desert, neighborhood, etc. There should just be a bunch of city ones, really. That's where ballparks are located, and diversifying that would be awesome.

But yes, last year they were also missing features inside the stadium that most modern ballparks have, including just customizing colors and playing at night (two things I brought up in an early video speculating about the first stadium creator trailer last year). We'll see what else they added to it.

Real city skyline backdrops would be awesome!

Or there are some of us that think the visuals look fine. Stop with this rhetoric that people are "making excuses" for SDS. Everybody has their own opinion on what needs work and what doesnt. Also, I remember a time where attacking the devs and calling them lazy was a definite way to get yourself fast tracked out of OS.

Lol and? You think I care about being banned. I joined this forum because you get the sneak peaks at MLB the Show when they use to improve every year. Again this game hasn’t changed much at all over the past 4-5 years maybe even 6. They could’ve easily just passed a roster upgrade and patch. I wish they had 2K to give them competition because maybe then they would actually improve on the product. All I hear on comments is people grasping for tidbits here and there to defend. Sorry but with how much these games cost, as a consumer it’s fair to demand an improved product instead of the same product every year with a new cover athlete.

Call me old fashioned or basic but I’d have much preferred them spend the time and manpower on improving graphics then adding the silly stadium creator…….. that’s just me though

It’s a silly feature, I would say more of a distraction to throw in from not tweaking anything else. I mean isn’t stadium creator pretty much just inserting a developer tool that they use to create the actual official stadiums and just dressing it up as a new feature? I don’t know I find it lame. But again with no competition, what’s the point.

My ideal stadium creator would be exactly that... that it would be so robust that you could use it to create the stadiums that you see in game (meaning like that's how they would've created the stadiums). This would allow for you to tweak the stadiums as a result.

Same goes for CAP's and batting stances. None of this is possible, though. Not unless you're looking at a game like Dreams, and even then there are so many memory limitations.

The reason you don't see these stadiums change much over the years is because they take forever to build. They are done by hand, if you get the expression. How long did they say each individual stadium takes to make? Three months? I can't actually remember.

Man I said 4-6 years, I would say even further back. You can tell as far back as maybe 08, the improvements has mainly been lighting and I’m sure the technology of 4k tvs, oled, etc has improved what the game looks like just by the tv tech. So I’d imagine it looks similar that far back if you used a similar tv.

But it is possible, there was a MLB game years ago, I forget which title but it allowed you to create your own batting stance. Similar somewhat to how NBA 2K lets you create your own shooting stroke by breaking it down from base, release and follow through. I forget what game that was.

Crazy how Matt V has been in this game since 2006, the grass looks the same since 2007 even on the ps3 and there’s zero difference between the ps4 versions and the ps5 besides resolution. This is why I wish we still had other options because this series is growing very stagnant.

And the jersey's have looked exactly the same (with the exception of texture resolution) since MLB 07. Same with player models (this might be the most egregious offense). Faces have slightly improved since MLB 08. There are still aspects of stadiums that are holdovers from the PS1 and PS2 era!!!

Also, and this has nothing to do with graphics, but stat tracking (and by extension the amount of stats that are tracked over the years) over players careers is still terrible. League leader stats, all-time leader stats, etc are all extremely basic.

Too many people defend this product with their all. They have an army of fan boys and people who accept the bare minimum. This makes it hard to provoke change. I guarantee sales are down this year though. I for one am not purchasing this.

Again I don't know why people come on here and spread nastiness for those of us who like the game and will buy it. Call me a "fan boy" then, and "someone who accepts the bare minimum", if that makes you feel better.
