Folks, this lie isn't going to endure regardless of how often it is told! SDS HAS been making MLB The Show for next generation consoles for at least three release versions now. This is precisely why there are two downloadable versions of the game. One version is for the older consoles and the other is for the latest ones.
Moreover, it has already been publicly revealed that MLB has directed that the title continue to be released in a version that works on the legacy consoles. That's why that version of the game remains available.
Frankly, it appears more like some people just cannot accept the fact that a company can work up two different versions of a game title. Or, perhaps some people just enjoy seeing folks with legacy platforms be forced to give up the game or upgrade.
Finally, the two versions of MLB The Show are not even close to looking the same. The very modeling and texturing features some folks keep complaining about were significantly updated for the next gen console game version. So, for the umpteenth time, the game is not being held back! Proof of all this is in the many screen posts people make taken from the legacy version and compared to the next gen versions. They are night and day different.
The issue with this is that the bare functionality of the game is built using that same legacy code, with current gen things layered overtop. It's the same issue EA has had the past three years with their NHL franchise, separate releases but the base game is still prior-gen more or less. Now with 25 they're finally ditching the legacy releases...that being said if MLB is forcing the issue, SDS has no choice...and until they can build a game for the current generation of consoles from the ground up the same bugs and glitches will exist.

With how little the NFL seems to care about the quality of Madden, I think certain people may be exaggerating how much pressure MLB is actually putting on SDS.
As long as MLB sees revenue being generated will they actually care what platform it's on?
Sony is making these choices not MLB.

People are still going to complain. You can make the perfect game , they will complain
False. You haven't played many games with this kind of comment. Yes, you will get complainers but their will always be an overwhelming lean to one side or the other. SDS and the show gets every bit of criticism it deserves. No one shits on Balders Gate, Elden Ring, Last of Us PT1, Uncharted 1-2, etc.
Go to steam games and read reviews. Go anywhere else instead of this God forsaken game community site and you'll see why SDS gets the hate it does. -

If you really believe that the graphics quality of MLB 24 is not significantly better than MLB 23, especially with respect to player faces and hair, then there is really no point in discussing this with you.
LMAO! WHAT?!?!? I literally played 23 because 24 was so [censored] bad in the first 4 months and I literally could not tell a a difference and I play on PS5. They graphics didn't improve for [censored]. It's the same [censored] game. If you think it improved YOU are delusional.

Hopefully Concord being a massive bomb will encourage Sony to reinvest in all their own IP's

You think they will invest back into SDS? Idk. Sports games are niche and I don't think NCAA 25 was enough to boost that. Could be wrong though. Just don't think sports games outside of FIFA or racing will do numbers to get attention from Sony

I am still waiting for someone to tell me how Japan Professional Baseball Spirits 2024-2025 is "Next Gen". Based on the trailer it's not the graphics.
-
there are trailers for players and stadium in their youtube chanel, i think the graphic, lighting, texture are more realistic, pitcher action is smoother, and RPG mode and GM mode look like more things to do!

@Dolenz_PSN KevinGohd's video is the 19 version, not 24-25 released on 9/19.

I've watched the trailer for the new one in the original post. Very little actual gameplay but even the little I saw did not look overly impressive on the graphics side.

I like the more realistic movements, but graphically it looks to be a step down...which doesn't surprise me all that much Konami has usually focused more on gameplay/playability than graphics.
That being said if it wasn't region locked I'd give it a shot, just for something different to try
-
@jake98833_PSN it should not be locked. I also have a PS4 version as well

So, you can play the game on a North American account without needing to create a Japanese account.

@jake98833_PSN yes just put in the PS4 disc into my PS4
