MLB The Show Graphics Discussion Thread

[desouza7]

If we’re talking about hair, shrubbery, and water physics in a baseball game, I think it’s clear that the base physics are fine considering it’s primary focus is supposed to be the sport of baseball. I think we’re asking for nice to haves instead of must haves now.

I like the ground ball physics.

We've gotten so far off in the weeds when it comes to graphics that some people MUST have the nice-to-haves. This game is so good, the graphics as is are good enough for me. I'm far more likely to complain about things that need to be editable (everything) and the minor league roster size and draft size.

For me graphics go beyond better looking grass or player models, I also (for example) mean more jersey options; buttons open, no undershirt, chain over the jersey, tattoos for more player distinction etc.

With the emphasis on player emotions and celebrations the last couple of years this would fit perfectly in that line.

Make weather truly impact games, show slowly forming puddles of water in the dirt, make balls bounce faster over wet grass, see more errors etc.

Ok now that some ppl think we are nitpicking about graphics like water splashes etc. You guys are wrong.

The basics haven't improved for a decade!

I think I have asked for baserunner gloves in 2015 or 2016 because it annoys me seeing Ichiro on 1st base without gloves. Ramone answered my post with something like "sadly not this year but it is on our todo list for next year..." Guess what, Ichiro already retired and still no gloves in the game. Surprise...

I'm happy for you that you don't care about graphics but don't act like MLBTS is the perfect series which it is not.

So in a sport where certain ballparks have splashing water as part of the ambiance and in 2024 on PS5 and Xbox Series, you don’t believe water behaving as concrete is an issue? To each his own

That would be nice to have but not everyone must have it for the Show to be fine graphically. We're not wrong for enyjoying the game as is, and you're not wrong for wanting more. It is what it is. I've said it before, I'll say it again, when Sony and MLB feels like this game isn't selling as many units as it should, that's the only way things will change. Otherwise we know that the way it sells right now, they are content with the amount of improvements each year. Whether some of us think there is enough progress year to year or too little progress is irrelevant. The bottom line is what Sony reponds to, for better or worse.

What stadium did water behave like concrete at? I’ve hit balls into the rays tank at the trop and into the fountains at Kaufman and have never seen the ball bounce like it’s on concrete. It didn’t splash but it didn’t behave like concrete either.
