Agreed

The PS5 version of 20 will most likely just be a port, but Im curious what 21 will be like.

Should be no framerate drops on ps5 playing in 4k.

I think that's a little too much to ask for considering the 3080 benchmarks came out and didn't show over 60fps minimums across the board. While we don't know the exact details of the graphics card inside the PS5, it's a pretty safe assumption that it'll be worse than the 3080.

Also, we do know what CPU is in the PS5, and those framerate drops could come from CPU bottlenecking. Odds are MLB 20 will be locked to using only 4 threads (thanks to bring originally programmed for the PS4) so it's only the per core clock speeds that will improve that bottleneck, which are marginal.

And then you have engine limitations and possible porting issues... I'm not saying 4k 60 fps locked is impossible, it's just a much bigger ask then you realize. 1440p 60 fps is much more in the reasonable and achievable range, though I wouldn't guarantee that either.

Frame minimums are such huge hurdles to get over.

I wonder if the faster setting is an unlocked frame rate or if the max is 60fps. I’m hoping it’s unlocked, the PS5 might be able to run the current game at 120fps at 1080p. That would be great since my tv’s input lag goes from 14ms @ 60fps to 6ms @ 120fps. It’s the first thing I’m going to check when I get the PS5.
