Not to be a [censored] to the devs, but come on maaaan. This game just needs a fresh overhaul. Very stale. No bs I legit can't even tell the difference in the games trailers the last 4ish years.

This may be the first one I legit pass on, or just wait till late season when it's dirt cheap if we even get one

This is the first year they really worked on small details. Not to mention the game looks incredible on PS5 in 4k

Incredible? Those player models are pretty bad. And the players have no rigidity at all. Just smooth clay like skin!

Graphics are absolutely the same. They did ZERO work on them. And we enter the next gen and still cant have small things like realistic water splashes, realistic bat to ball tones, or the sound of the glove being louder or quieter based upon velocity. Trash.

1. More player definition in face and arms (this is the only skin you see on a player). Players appear to have a smoothed out texture overall and would benefit from rigidity.

2. Overhauled commentary. The majority of the lines were heard in years past, changing a lot of them would greatly add to a fresh feel.

3. Life-like water. In stadiums where this are fountains or lakes, I would like for the water to behave like water upon being contacted by the ball. The ball bounces off the water like a hard surface currently. A splash (with the audio) would greatly add to the immersion.

4. High fidelity stadium backgrounds.

5. The ability to go over 99 in all
   ratings. Some people are just faster
   or throw harder than everyone else
   and I would like to see this reflected.

6. Pitching motion/release fixes. Pitchers in the game don’t seem to move in as violent a motion as pitching tends to be. Would like to see an increased arm velocity.

7. More varying exit velocities. 112 ish seems to be the hardest exit velocity you can reach even with full power ratings and a perfect perfect. Throughout a baseball season, many balls are hit harder than this.

8. Mention of milestones/records during single players modes. You hit your 74th home run, and the commentary mentioning (Insert name) has now broken the record for single season home rins! Maybe some mention of how close you are beforehand. Really that ties into the upgraded commentary though.

8.Realistic looking hair that moves realistically

Thank you for your time and hard work.

The video I am attaching pretty much proves that the graphics have been the same since 2014. Aside from the facial updates of 2016. Please check it out.

Not true evolution then if not highlighting over entire lifespan IMO. Basically just showing lifespan on PS4 and once a focus on next gen consoles we will get substantial improvements

The last version shown was PS5. They should have a focus on next gen consoles now. You don’t have the abandon the last gen to appease the current gen (next gen). Just include improvements in the next gen game. Nevermind cross gen play.

Stadium creator and birds lol at least we get night games this year in created stadiums

Stadium creator and birds?

@greedyg103_xbl said in Who Will Benefit From New "Presentation"?:

If they actually significantly upgraded the presentation, Diamond Dynasty would benefit the least due to the presentation being locked to fast play. With that said, all modes will benefit greatly as presentation has been severely lacking.

I hope you're right, but was there any part of the DD presentation that the DD players or influencers wanted to change? If so, I'd argue that might get precedent.

No worries there brother. They aren’t the least bit concerned with presentation, or graphics. They just want more legends

@shawnzinator13 said in Next Gen:

They even got rid of the perfect perfect sound that was so satisfying last year. Hits sound like they have little impact. Is there a reason it’s gone or were they just too incompetent to carry the sound over?

The audio is terrible With PS5's 3D audio and Xbox's spacial sound this is unacceptable

Are not being rewarded due to a server error that happens when I complete showdown. Twice I have not been rewarded a voucher! These servers are a disaster as usual!

Yea. This happened to me last night. I was not happy. But, that said, I know I can beat it again. Yet, if this were to happen a second time? Not cool. Sorry you are having to deal with it.

Yea I can beat it again as well. Just super inconvenient with work/parenthood

@greedyg103_xbl said in Possible Ray Tracing Bug?? - Reflections off of pitcher's uniforms causing ghost/halo images:

They haven't even utilized ray tracing.

The ghosting and reflection issue are in game. Fair that it might not be ray tracing. I'm not sure where that would get compiled in. Not sure if it is in the specific app and/or OS layer, or both. Could be implemented in different areas. I had heard that the shadows from the birds were part of the ray-tracing code.

Last night, I saw some of the issues again, in a different part. Reflections off of helmets and also jewelry that a player were wearing. Sparkles/reflections off of the jewelry, yet the ghosting/blurring around the pitcher's uniforms is the most annoying. The white color blurs. Happens in night games. Wasn't in '20.

Oh I agree about the issue. I just didn't want you to give them credit for utilizing ray tracing (Next Gen Tech) when they skimped out lol

@greedyg103_xbl said in Created Stadiums:

How do you use eligible stadiums in Diamond Dynasty? I've downloaded stadiums but dont see them listed in my DD created stadiums

Its kinda strange. Not sure if you did this but this is how I do it. First you load into creator and pick any stadium. Then go in the vault and find the stadium you want. Then select download. It should then take you to that field for editing. Go to the settings sections and then SAVE CHANGES. Thats the important part. I believe it will then take you back to the stadium select screen where you choose one to replace. I'll jump on in a few and double check but I believe that's how I have been doing it

Appreciate that sir. I'll try it out when I get home from work.

I want to know the same. I wish the metric was watching actual baseball footage lol. That would resolve a lot of these problems. No way Mookie Betts and Tim Anderson should be below 80 in speed.

Another one that is hit or miss badly is arm strength. Remember Betts had an average arm in the game, then made a throw from the right field wall to 3rd base in the air which caused them to boost his arm by like 20 the next roster update. Shouldn’t take that

At the very least I hope they synchronized the players real life stats. They have literally been wrong every game, every year!
