Are graphics getting touched in 19?

Well unless they fired their graphics department I would assume so...

haven't seen a dip on my Pro. Thanks to performance mode option.

I do find it odd that we haven't heard anything regarding graphics for this year. I remember in one of the earliest gameplay videos from last year Ramone mentioned that uniforms were the big focus graphically for 18, and it was mentioned as well in the Twitch schedule in the Little Things stream. This year they don't even have a Little Things stream. I wonder what the graphics department has even worked on for this year. I've noticed adjustments for front jersey numbers and chest logos, but beyond that there doesn't appear to much of a difference.

My guess is that they believe they have tapped out, so to speak, graphics-wise for this generation and the graphics dept have shifted their focus to the PS5 version which would probably be The Show 21, if rumors for the arrival of net-gen are correct. SDS almost assuredly has access PS5 dev kits so it really wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. This way they have basically 3 years to work on new graphics instead of the usual 10 months. Honestly, I'm okay with that, but only if they actually address the problems I've had with uniforms for this generation.

I was hoping by now we'd see dynamic weather, retractable roofs in progress, rain delays, and build your own ballpark, especially since we've seen glimpses of these graphical wonders in other games in this generation and last but alas apparently not to be until PS5.

They added rain delays last year.

Am I the only one that in all the exhibition games I played as practice + 162 Franchise games + the Postseason did not get ONE rain delay?....or was that feature not for Exhibition and Franchise...seems like they only care about DD and Road to The Show, honestly.

To be honest, in order for SDS to do the type of graphical revamp everyone seems to one, they would likely need to skip a year considering their team is so small. We all know that will never happen so the small chances year-to-year will have to suffice. The current engine is starting to look dated tho.
