Hopefully we can get the rest of the game to match the advancements they have made with the player faces but it probably doesn't help the case when I see a large amount of people in here mention that "gameplay is king" and they don't care about graphics.
I'm still playing mlbts 23. I was still playing high heat 02 until this game came along because I play exclusively manage mode and no other game had that. I passed up better graphics to keep that game.

I use press box view and perhaps because I don't have a close up view is why I don't see any glaring issues with graphics. If they could get a new graphics engine and transfer the current animations and gameplay it would be great. Gameplay has room for improvement in manage mode but this is the best baseball game I've played - and I still have micro league baseball on a floppy disc.

We need Elon Musk or Bill Gates to develop an interest in baseball video games.

No thanks. I'm all set.

Re: MLB the show needs a new graphics engine.

Microsoft bought the rights to the High Heat baseball series back in 2003, so after over 20 years, I think its safe to say that Bill Gates/Microsoft has no interest in developing a baseball video game.

Could we change weather in High Heat? They might've been playing the long game here.

If they ever decide to put money into anything baseball related, I would rather they buy one of the less fortunate (in terms if money/funds) less fortunate baseball teams. Like the A's, Rays, Pirates, or better yet, an expansion franchise.

Re: MLB the show needs a new graphics engine.

With the PS5 pro right around the corner I wonder if they’ll have some better graphical features for the pro in next year’s version. Maybe the grass can finally look like grass.

I’ve been waiting for a significant update since ps3 mate. Don’t hold your breath! The game doesn’t look bad (besides the awful grass) and player models, but it’s nowhere where it should be.

Watching gameplay of Pro Yakuu Spirits 24. The play once the ball is put into play is a tad stiff, that said, the graphics/presentation/pitching/hitting are amazing.
