No, you can’t, because everything is tied into having a single player tied in with diamond dynasty and the other modes. And btw, unlike Xbox players, I’ve been playing RTTS going all the way back to the PS2 era. I buy the game EVERY SINGLE SEASON and I play multiple different careers through the RTTS mode depending if I feel like pitching or hitting, etc. It looks like a lot of players do that. And even if I did start over using a pitcher as the single player, you still are forced into diamond dynasty with the integration of your player into that mode.

And btw, I contacted Sony Support to ask for a refund. That’s how pissed off I am about this game. But of course, “Sorry, you’ve already played the game so you can’t get a refund.” You mean, a game that is disconnected from the servers 50% of the time? So I have to keep a game that doesn’t work and also has the only mode I’ve cared about for years gutted in the game. GREAT customer service, Sony. I guess I can just go play on Xbox. I mean, you guys don’t create any good games. You just buy other companies that do the hard work. But hey, at least I can get a refund if a game is completely unplayable two days after launch.

WHY? I have been playing The Show since PS2. Why did you go and ruin the game this year by making me use ONE PLAYER and worse still, I have to be Shohei Ohtani? I don’t want to have pitcher as my secondary position. I’m sorry to complain, but this is infuriating and such an absurd design decision. And no, I don’t want diamond dynasty intertwined with my game either. I have nothing against it, but if I want to play DD then I would play it. Stop forcing it on me.

Signed.
Extremely disappointed very long term The Show player.

I play on PS4 Pro with the balanced setting and it was buttery smooth until the past 1.5 and 1.6 update. It's almost like playing on the Sharper setting now at times.

This stuttering/drop in frames happens randomly for 10-30 seconds when pitching and hitting for me. Does not matter if runners are on base etc. It is so distracting and it appears others are experiencing this. I have an OLEDE8 and Samsung Q90R and this does not happen with other games.

I do not want to go to the faster setting with the downgrade in graphics as clearly something is occuring here.

Rebuilt the database, deleted old games, files etc, still the same.

Any idea how to fix this? Others experiencing this on here?

This is a little off topic, I’ve wondered if playing at 1440p (balanced) causes some unwanted input lag because the PS4 pro cannot natively produces this resolution. I think it can do 1080p and 2160p but not 1440p. I think it just upscales from 1080p, which might create extra lag.

I can't see how the PS4 and PS4 Pro GPUs would be unable to output a 1440p resolution. The native resolution in a game can be whatever the devs want, no? Perhaps they are using the checkerboard upscaling technique to hit 1440p and that's adding lag? Who knows, but I can't think of any reason the hardware itself couldn't output any native resolution. Obviously the higher the resolution the more difficult the frame rate, etc. It looks to me like the issue here is a combination of the Pro simply not being quite powerful enough to sustain 1440p and the game still being poorly optimized in some areas.

As I'm sure you guys do, I've hoped each year that the "balanced" and "4k (a pipe dream)" settings will become better but sadly I am usually disappointed. I do think the modes have improved over the years but I guess they're running into the limits of the console at this stage.

I've been trying the balanced mode here and there, but like the OP, I do run into issues with it. Despite my best efforts, I always end up back with the "faster" setting. It's still a great looking game even on that setting, but man I can't wait to use the PS5 to play this game in 4k/60!
