MLB The Show 22 - (PS5/Xbox Series X|S) Impressions

The game looks exactly the same to me. That's not a bad thing but I'm not blown away by the graphics. Framerate seems real solid which has been a problem in the past.

The commentary though. Absolute game changer. It's hard to describe exactly why but it just feels like a real broadcast and they pulled off the illusion of it not feeling scripted.

Gameplay is rock solid like always. I'm sure I'll get more of the nuance as time goes by.

Whoa!!! Haven’t figured it out yet, but there is a HUGE flashing scoreboard type sign that flashes LET’S GO to use. New interface so I have to play around with it.

Oh, yee of little faith.

Well, they really changed the interface to create/edit a stadium. Struggling thru it. Was hoping for more signs, but only see 2. One says PLAYERS ALLIANCE. Flags move in the wind. Bullpens the same. Seems props are pretty much the same.

The added animated boards are nice in created stadiums and helps them pass as a real park a little better than last year. The lack of any sort of team related graphics or signage is a huge bummer. The dugouts could have some sort of graphics on them. No logos on the field at all. It's just really feels like your not playing on a mlb field with the major lack of signage.

Ok….went to vault and down loaded live roster. Freeman, Kershaw on LA, Olson on ATL, etc.

Noticed quite a few roster errors and missing players. Played a DD thing with Cedric Mullins and they talked about making time to get some crab cakes while in Maryland, pretty sweet.

Earlier this evening the PS5 version became available for me to download and play and I must say, while graphically it isn't that much different than its PS4 counterpart, the smoothness of gameplay has me thinking that I'd rather play 162+ games on it versus the PS4 simply for theme music.

The difference between the two is quite noticeable in my humble opinion.

Logos are in the vault. Extremely slow response to input. I’m not gonna panic yet, but the vault……..trying to go to page 2, gets hung up. Just transitioned…long time…….grrrrr. I looked up a Yankees logo. Found one on page 2, downloaded it, then it kicked me out of my search back to page 1. Same as last year.
