    Please help! PS4 franchise save file to PS5

    Ok...please help an old, non technical, guy out.

    I got a PS5 today (yay I'm with the times! LOL), but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get my PS4 franchise file to the PS5 version to play on it. Yes I know I lose SotS and all that, but I'm wanting to play the free upgrade version.

    I've tried what I thought was everything, but apparently I'm doing something wrong, or I'm completely naive and it can't be done.

    So please, help an old fart out.

    Thank you in advance.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

    Try this...

    You can transfer (copy) data from a PlayStation®4 console or another PlayStation®5 console to your PS5™ console.

      I did the transfer. My save file is on the PS5 (under PS4 console/cloud storage), but I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to become a PS5 save file so that I can continue my franchise on the PS5 version.

      I can play the PS4 version on the PS5 without issue.

      I'm confused....

        When you go into data utility in the game does it offer you the option to load the PS4 file? I believe it should.

        Then you should be able to just continue.

          I got you buddy. Go inside your franchise on the PS4 version. Then go up to settings, click on upload to cloud. Follow those instructions. Then fire up The Show on PS5. At the main menu, scroll over to Franchise, hit square, then choose download from cloud. Should be able to download that PS4 franchise from there.
          I literally did this the other day so I could play my PS5 franchise on my Series X.

            You won't have a PS5 version unless you start a new franchise on PS5 with a PS5 roster from vault. At least I believe that is how it works.

            But you can continue to play your franchise on the PS5...but it will save it back to PS4 directory.

              I'm such an goofball....LOL

              I tried that but it kept showing a different save file because I never uploaded my recent one.

              Thank you so much!

              Thank you as well ctguy2021

              Appreciate the help from both of you very much!

                    The Show on PS5 is stellar looking. I am still playing 20 and it still shines!

                      You are going to be pleased at how great 20 looks on the PS5.

                          Man, as someone that has played hundreds of games of '21 on the PS4, there is a noticeable difference with the PS5 version.

                              Jcar, if you have the cash and are willing to pay more than retail, try out Facebook marketplace. There are always people on there selling PS5 and Xbox series x. I didn’t want to pay more either but if I had not I’d still be waiting. Good luck!
