OMG...it is BEAUTIFUL...

[Billy...a_kid]

I don't use acronyms lightly.

I have a SONY BRAVIA TV, and I posted a thread about a week ago saying the player models are horribly pixelated. They were. I kept my PS3 version, and would switch between the two of the exact same game...no other way to say it but, they looked like C**P in the PS4 version.

I was very upset with myself for buying this $400 game unit specifically for MLB the Show, and then buying my first day one digital release, only to have it be horrible. It was so horrible, I actually went back to pretty well exclusively playing the PS3 version.

I got so fed up last night, I did an Internet search, and, as usual, found a lot of junk that had no bearing. I did find one specific thing about the main screen for PS4 being very pixelated on the home screen, which is what I had too.

After reading and following the link, I downloaded the firmware 1.54 update (mine was at something like 1.07) for the TV and now...IT IS PERFECT!!!

I couldn't believe how crappy this "next-gen" was, but now I know it was the software for my TV.

HALLELUJAH!!!

If you have a SONY BRAVIA, update it. Trust me, you'll be happy.

(isn't it odd that a "Sony" TV has trouble with a "Sony" console?)

Do you have a link that explains what you are talking about? I have a Bravia, that is about 3 years old, and I have no clue what you are talking about.

Your tv has firmware, just like the ps3/ps4 does, that helps add better/new functionality and can help correct issues.

It's always a good idea to make sure any electronic devices you have are running the most current firmware version.

Since your tv is 3 years old you may not be able to update the firmware, but you can check this link to see:

With any newer tv that is network enabled (either wifi or lan), you can usually check for a firmware upgrade directly from the tv. It will be either the help menu or troubleshooting menu (usually).

Thank you. I was able to find what I need. However my TV does not have an update. It runs the game fine though, so it's all good. Just wasn't sure if I was missing out on something. Thanks again...

Re: OMG...it is BEAUTIFUL...

After spending 3 weeks being really mad that I spent $400 on something worse than the PS3, I have spent the last 2+ days saying, "Wow, that looks great!" to myself more than anything else.

THIS is what I expected; I am so glad I updated it.

(in a way, I wish I had a picture to show of what it was like...honestly, think maybe PS2 or PS1, it really was that horrible with the massive pixelation...PROBLEM SOLVED!)

Re: OMG...it is BEAUTIFUL...

This is about what the outline of players looked like...the surfaces of everything were okay, the stadiums were okay, but the pixelation that is in this picture is about what I was seeing, probably a bit worse, actually. I feel bad for anyone else who still suffers from this, as now I know it is fixable!

Again, just look at the outline of players & the bat (the surface graphics really were not bad, just the pixelation of the outlines on most things)...what I was seeing was probably a bit worse than this...unreal, and I was angry!

The bat, his tummy and upper leg outlines are probably the best examples of what I was viewing! (this is from MLB 2004 for the PS)

Re: OMG...it is BEAUTIFUL...

I have a 7 year old 47" Sony Bravia. Zero issues here. The game looks absolutely beautiful.
