Obviously we’re only allowed to push for the improvements YOU GUYS want. Cheers.

I play madden every year because I love the NFL. The graphics are great no doubt. The game for me lasts 2 months tops because its just not that good. Regardless how good the grass looks.

There just so many more pertinent items to discuss in my mind on how to improve the show than if the grass looks real.

But its true that people should say what they want on here, so that's my bad.

People hardly talk about graphics here at all. You’re just in a thread about graphics rn. Hope this helps.

You're not entirely wrong, but NBA 2k showed a significant upgrade in graphics when moving to the new generation of consoles. The Show did not. The Show isn't a bad looking game, but there is no way you could convince me this is the best the game can look or run.

There are too many textures alone that are too low resolution at this point. Grass is an obvious one. The pants textures are atrocious. Look at a player's back pockets and you'll see what I mean. They look so bad and you seem them constantly when batting from a traditional camera, so this isn't something you have to go into replay mode to notice. Same with cleats and so many other things in the game.

For how many things simply look good, not great, it's crazy they can't get the game to run at a consistently high FPS, too. Again, the game isn't bad looking overall, but it's arguably the worst looking sports game that comes out annually, and it doesn't hold up well to the vast majority of new non-sports titles.

While there won't be an episode on graphics, we aren't done with episodes. They added one to the schedule on the most recent episode. 3/31 is now Diamond Dynasty and Live Content.

I was really hoping that they improved the in game grass graphics.

Sorry pal my comment was tongue-in-cheek…I didn’t mean for it to be a serious dig.

Listen, the show is my favourite game I’m still playing 21 now as much as I did when it came out in the hope I’ll finally finish my 162 (hopefully + postseason) every pitch/at-bat this year. Cant see any reason why i wont as I’m still having so much fun.

I’ve been playing since 09 and have championed SDS over the likes of EA numerous times on numerous forums as the ‘way to do it’. There’s no doubt we’ve been spoilt over the years, however, DD has caused a switch in recent years which had led to certain areas being neglected. IMO graphically is one of those areas given the lack of notable/significant improvement.

I’m not suggesting SDS should plough all their resources into graphical improvements, it doesn’t work like that of course- the studio is divided into teams but it is about time we had some real focus on graphics and animations on the field. Grass being one of my bugbears especially my since other studios seemed to have mastered real looking turf years ago.

I guess I am old. The Show is a beautiful game.

Still is.

The lighting on 20 is incredible….and it was even better on 21 on PS5 as well as improvements to player models on the PS5 version (gameplay well that is another discussion lol).

I appreciate the graphical beauty of modern sports games…..but again gameplay seems to have taken a backseat for offline players these days….it finally is really and totally being geared and tuned to online gaming.

Is what it is.
