Looking for opinions and feedback please

I am an offline Franchise player only. I recently had my first baby with the hopes of number 2 in the near future. Things might get hectic quickly and time in front of the TV on PlayStation 5 could be tough. Love the The Show tho and it’s my #1 hobby. Tinkering with the idea of getting a Switch2 and getting MLB26 on Switch2. Would be able to play more when I take it into the bedroom or when we travel etc.. 1) is the full version of franchise on the Switch game? Nothing missing? 2) what are the biggest pros and cons of switching? Would it be recommended or stick to the Ps5 and just find the time? Haha.. thanks in advance for your opinion on this

I know in the show 25 you cannot create stadiums on the Switch....I think that's the only difference
-
Congrats on the new baby! That's amazing news.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN thank you
any feedback with above question? I know you can’t release anything on 26 yet but what about 25? Full franchise was on switch version? -
Congrats on the Baby! I had an XBOX and first bought a switch (which is really kinda bad). When the Switch 2 came out, I decided to give is a shot. It was night and day better than a regular switch, and it can also be connected to a TV, but the resolution and frame rates are no where near the XBOX-S/X or PS5.
I decided to return the switch not only because of that, but because I love stadium creator (which Switch's dont have) and also Playstation came out with Playstation Portal, which allows you to stream games from your PS5 console to the device over your home Wi-Fi or any broadband internet.
Now, its not for travel, I believe you are limited to using it from home, but it does allow you to play away from your TV in your home....
If you are used to PS5 graphics, i'd stick with that and get the PS Portal. WOuld at lease give you a little more flexibilty, while retaining the graphics and game play along with Stadium Creator

Really appreciate this!!
so with the PlayStation portal. I can be playing franchise mode with regular ps5 on tv and on take that same game and franchise on the portal with Wi-Fi connect? Sorry for questions, I’m not a huge gamer and not a tech guy lol -
Nvm. No need to answer this. I am doing my own research on it now. I really appreciate this insight as this is what I’m probably going to do. Let’s me keep the ps5 graphics but gives me a bit of flexibility when I need it. Thanks again

@AndyWilk09_PSN Haha! Me either! I'm 56 and MLB the Show (DD and Franchise) is the only game I play!
Here is a review of the Playstation Portal:
Again, you can NOT take it on road trips, but it will connect via Wifi to your PS5 and is hand held with huge screen , allowing you to play exactly like you would on your PS5 within your home (provided you have good Wifi).

@AndyWilk09_PSN -- to the best of my knowledge, Franchise mode is the same across all versions of the game.
If I may, I'd suggest another option, and don't take this as me "shilling" here, but a PlayStation Portal might be worth considering compared to a Switch 2 (unless the S2 is something want for other reasons). It's significantly cheaper and it would be an extension of your existing PS experience, rather than forcing you to start over in terms of progress.
Again, the Switch presents a different, but also awesome, experience, so if you're looking to get a Switch 2 so you can play it with your kids as they get older or something like that, that totally makes sense. But if it's mainly about your MLBTS experience and making it more portable, I'd go with the Portal.
Hope that's helpful!

@SDS_JoeK_PSN really appreciate your recommendation and opinion. Another guy on here said the same thing and I think that is what I am leaning to now. I am a PlayStation guy and I was trying not to lose that experience but gain a bit of flexibility as well. You telling me this double sold me on the portal so maybe you can tell Sony to give you commission
only thing that worries me is that I have seen a lot of reviews on the lag in the gameplay but maybe they have fixed that -
@AndyWilk09_PSN -- I have a Backbone, which is a similar device (remote play, etc.) and there can definitely be some lag, but a lot of that has to do with my network. If the bandwidth happens to be a little thinner, I might notice more lag, but it's usually not too bad.
