The "Next Gen" improvements are basically non existent. What a let down. Especially graphically.

I agree with you, TheGreedyG103. Stadium Creator is one feature, and I understand it required the new systems in order to run, but that is not the definition of "next-gen". Agreed, this stream was a letdown, and it didn't answer the technical questions I wanted answered. It was a Stadium Creator stream, not a "next-gen" stream.

Coincidentally, here are the questions I want answered and was expecting some answers in the stream about that were not answered.

Okay, so I know 4k@120 is not going to happen this year. However, what about 1440@120 or 1080p@120? Did 1440 get dropped because the PS5 does not support it natively? (The Xbox Series X|S support 1440@120 natively, so I sure hope 1440 (balanced) was not dropped in '21.)

1440@120 or 1080@120 is a cakewalk for the next-gen Xbox systems, with tons of horsepower leftover to still run SC. In addition, Microsoft has a 120fps patch for Xbox Series S|X that can make games be able to support 120 w/ minimal effort by the development team. Does the Xbox Series S|X version support this, and if not, why not? These are technical questions that I'd expect/want answered in a "next-gen" stream.

Instead, all we got was a 30-minute advertisement/commercial for Stadium Creator.

Could not have articulated it any better. Let's go even further beyond that. How were there no updated textures? Why does the dirt sitting on home plate still look so artificial? Why are there not any cloth physics? Why is their a lack of Ray Tracing? This game will be killed by reviewers.

They deleted the video on the YouTube video after people already left comments . They know it was a bad showing.

Correct me if I’m wrong.... we’ll get 4K 60 and stadium creator ln Next Gen ... and that’s it? No new textures... more diverse crowd... signature fielding, throwing and running? No collisions?, No flowing hair? No sweat? No Ray Tracing? If not that would be so trash.

The game needs a major overhaul, built from scratch. Who knows, maybe they are working on something for the future, but as it stands now, I believe the game has been at its peak for years. Need physics engine

This will be a half hearted effort if this is the case. The commentary will probably largely be the same as well with a few random Covid related remarks. As it stands, this will not be a purchase for me

@savefarris_psn said in Next Gen:

Given the shortage of PS5s/XB-Xs, SDS would much rather have 95% of the userbase.

This is fine. I'm guessing cross play holds back the next gen capabilities? Or am I wrong? Just have 2 builds. Stadium creator was a well requested edition, but it doesn't scream (or even whisper) "next gen". What would enhancing the next gen version have to do with this? The game would still be available to all users of all systems

This games does not look Next Gen at all. 2K rebuilt their game from the ground up for Next Gen. I'd much rather have the improved textures than cross play. 4K 60 fps can already be achieved on The Show 20 when played on PS5. From the videos, the water still doesn't even look like water and I would guess it doesn't splash like water either. Nor do the dirt or grass appear life-like. Hair is terrible. Copy and paste job.

I've purchased the show every year for the past 5 years on Playstation. This year I managed to get my hands on one of the next gen systems which happens to be the Series X. Any chance I would still be able to get Loyalty Rewards once 21 releases?

Huge White Sox fan just wondering , has anyone ever hit a home run with Tim and initiated this animation? I remember it being a big part of the trailer, but have yet to get him to do this.

No, but now I want to get the animation with Contreras. That thing was awesome!

I agree

What would you say is inaccurate about him? Both his live series and Topps now seem pretty accurate to me

His image. Evem though he's not face scanned, their rendition of him is absolutely TERRIBLE

Randomly lol

For those saying "live series cards dont affect diamond dynasty lineups" They do when the inside edge is favorable. Also Kyle Lewis going gold would be nice for those of us who play online ranked.

Eh, they really don't even with inside edge, really the only thing it affects is Battle Royale.

Ranked Online

That's not DD lineups, that's live rosters

I'm saying that's another place it matters as stated in my original post

I realize you also said online ranked, but my comment was specifically about DD. I probably should have clarified that a bit in my 1st comment, but that's what I was referencing. LS don't factor into DD at this stage except for BR

What is the fuqin point of this argument? Who cares

Whoa. Easy there killer . This is not an argument. This is two civilized people gaining clarity on one anothers opinion. Your anger is misplaced.

Actual water that is wet lol

Jose abreu. He is an 81 now, leads all first baseman in defensive metrics, and has been tearing the cover off of the ball.

@JoeyRococo said in Topps Now tomorrow:

White Sox fan here... I'm looking forward to this Topps Now pack. Abreu and Giolito both have to be there. This after a 99 Robert, a 99 Big Frank and an upgraded Buhrle... it's been a nice couple weeks! Sox are usually the red-headded step child. Enjoying this.

Fellow Sox fan. A diamond Abreu is well overdue. They should have been included his Rookie Of The Year card.
This topps now should be better though. Both on offense and defense (He's been the best defensive 1st baseman this year). An upgraded Giolito would be extremely nice as well.
.
Tim needs a card with better defense/speed. His card shpuld at least have a strong arm because he has a cannon

The records, as well as the stats have been wrong every day the past few years. When will this be fixed? Never? It would add so much to immersion during the games broadcast.
