MLB The Show 21 Arrives on April 20 with Cross-Platform Play & Cross Progression - Some Details Revealed

[The Kid 24]

CB, I think you mean April 16th... Collector's edition gets the game 4 days early.

I listened to Down in the dugout's (Ridin and team) latest podcast, they think PS4 and PS5 versions will be totally different games.

If that is true, man I dont know what to think... That would mean a TON of us would be missing out on what PS5 would be offering.

If legit, I think I absolutely need to find a PS5... Although I wasnt ready to do that yet.

Didn't the info drop from the other day say that it will feature cross-play between not only PS/XBox but also between the generations. If that's the case fundamentally it can't be that different. Offline possibly could be slightly different feature wise but a lot would still need to remain the same.

If they said about PS4 can play against Xbox 1, PS5 can play against Xbox X/S but PS4 cant play against PS5 and same with Xbox... I would have to listen again but pretty sure that's what I heard them say.

Guys from the podcast, please correct me if Im wrong.

Has anyone from from Sony actually said that roster imports from previous years are even gone? Year-to-year franchise/RTTS files aren't the same as roster/slider sets. Maybe there's hope.

It could be that the gameplay between the generations is identical, but franchise and RttS are completely different on the newer gen. I don’t know how probable that is, it might be wishful thinking on my part.
