Will there be a graphical difference in game between the PS4 version running on PS5 and buying the PS5 version?

There is a version / tier of the game that includes both versions of the game , old and next gen.



Very minimal graphics increase.

You will need to rebuy the PS5 version. There is no free upgrade or $10 more to upgrade. I think it has to do with the fact that there are modes and features like create a stadium that are not in the last gen versions so a simple upgrade is not possible. There are versions that include a game with a code etc. Here are all the options for you https://www.ign.com/articles/mlb-the...preorder-guide

Regarding the graphics, I have a PS5 and have played PS4 games on it. For certain PSVR games, I can tell a difference with the graphics and definitely with load times. Certain PS4 games got patched to run and look better on PS5 so it will depend on the game. You should check out youtube to see if anyone has done comparisons.

How do schedules change for 2nd year in Franchise? Same as last year?

If I'm understanding correctly, I should buy the $85 Jackie Robinson version to start on PS4, and hopefully get a PS5 soon.. and will have the full PS5 version on the PS5 without having to purchase anything else? Rather than spending $60 now and $70 later?

Can I create or edit a player to become a “Two Way Player” in Franchise?

I see the “Two Way Player” tab but clicking it does nothing...

Any insight will be helpful..thanks

I can't seem to find any footage on the old gen XBox One version. Can anyone comment on the performance?

There was no old gen Xbox version. This is the first year that the game has been available on Xbox. Before this, it was a PlayStation exclusive.

I think they have to be a pitcher. You can edit a pitcher to have good hitting and fielding.

Once have played enough both on the mound and in the lineup, they automatically become a two way player.
