Sounds Of The Show or Carry-Over Saves?

I wonder with the PS5 Pro if the technology will be added back for SOTS, as from my understanding it’s something specific with the PS5 that caused the loss of SOTS. Fingers crossed.

Even if PlayStation adds back music files, I wonder if they will be forced to keep the playstation and xbox versions the same. I seem to recall something about " feature parity".

The specific thing was Sony and Microsoft removed the ability to add music files to the console. You can only play music via apps. PS5 Pro tech has nothing to do with it since they are pushing the use of apps going forward.

Ideally SDS, 2k, and EA can partner up with Spotify/Apple Music/other services to allow people to log-in and pick X amount of songs to use for a feature like SOTS. Not sure how difficult that would be to code in since your calling to an outside service for audio, but it would probably be the best way to get it back into the game.

Darnit. I miss voted. I meant to select CO Saves (It's literally the only thing I want) but I selected SotS instead. (I don't care about that at all because I mute the game 99% of the time and watch TV shows/movies or listen to podcasts while I'm playing.) As of my posting this the count should be 15-11 favoring CO Saves.

I have been playing the PS4 version on my PS5 for the last 3-4 years. How can SotS be played on the PS5 with the PS4 version, but not the PS5 version?

They use different operating systems within the ps5

I agree. There just aren't enough quality of life additions to the annual release to justify a yearly purchase. I would prefer COS since I'm using a fictional roster and put a lot of time into it (i dont think the game does a good job as a baseball sim where franchise mode is concerned thus the fictional roster). I realize that getting the new title would just be for a few new cosmetic additions, but at least I could purchase when I want to. I just think I'm going to pass until the game does a better job at franchise roster mgmt and, franchise depth.

Well known I love The Show. I still think it replicates the sport of baseball better than any other console sports game replicates their respective sport.

However…..in terms of franchise mode they are clearly behind all the other sports titles. And the margin is growing a lot the last couple of years.

However when it comes to gameplay……The Show is still numero uno.

I really hope they break away from the PS4 era and develop the game exclusively on the new consoles like CFB 25 and NHL 25.

Oh and I want both back…..we had a long cycle of SOTS and Y2Y.

Let’s start a new one once they completely revamp franchise mode.

We know certain things are sorely needed (expanded rosters, a much better and more robust draft and scouting system). So let’s hope.

While I do agree with you on the both accounts, gameplay in 24 is fantastic, and franchise mode needs work, I don't think franchise mode is unworkable. It's just not amazing or exceptionally "deep".

Everyone wants different things from franchise mode. I don't really care for A ball games, or thousands of international free agents, or non roster invitees, etc. I think that will just make things more complicated for the AI. I really just want an AI that makes building a champion more difficult, so I don't have to employ house rules.

I love the fact that this game has 30 team control in franchise. For me that is huge. I am able to correct so many AI mistakes and make the game 100% more realistic and challenging.
