Are the graphics/lighting that much improved ?

[sva91]

I’ve heard a lot of people say it much improved, while others have said it looks the same. Im on the fence right now, but if graphics look improved I’ll prob buy it.

Personally I think they are improved. The new face scans and skin textures look really really good. And the new lighting system looks great to me. Again, people are always going to have different opinions. It's not a HUGE difference, but for me it was enough of a difference for me to say "wow" when I first fired up this year's game. After a week of playing it, I still think it looks fantastic

Clear day games look the same to me but I see a lot of improvement in how light shows up when there's some cloud cover. The day to night transitions have also been changed to add more pink, orange, and yellow at various points.

Haven't tried or paid attention in total overcast or rain games yet, so no opinion from me there.

No, this game still looks like a PS3/PS4 hybrid.

Faces are significantly improved.

Lighting/general graphics … certainly not groundbreaking improvements but the game does look better overall.

In the little I've played, the game is not significantly improved much of anywhere outside of faces looking better at times. Day and night games looked very similar, but I had not played an overcast game, so maybe there is some improvement there that is more noticeable. Overall, it's a disappointing game from graphical standpoint.

It's your money, but if the graphics are what are the main thing that could sway you on the fence, I'd say not to spend your money on it. However, the gameplay still is as solid as it always has been, I saw numerous new animations in the bit I played and all looked nice, but the CPU manager is still as dumb as rocks. Overall, it's not a very different game from 23, so if you're not needing the updated rosters and all that, I'd personally recommend you wait for it to go on sale.

I'd say they're improved but only marginally. The new face scans and hair definitely look better but it can still be hit or miss on how good a certain player looks.

The lighting does seem improved. The uniform textures seem improved too. Something about the way the sun reflects off of the red logo and numbers on the Phillies uniforms just looked really nice on the few games I played.

I've mainly just been playing RTTS though until a good roster update comes out so that's not the best showcase of improved graphics. The few major league games I played looked much better though.

This is always an annoying, contentious topic on here. Some think the graphics look good, others say they're terrible and antiquated.

I've played this series for a VERY long time and I think the graphics look really nice. It doesn't mean I don't wish for improvements in some areas. There are some WOW moments though, where on my 4K TV, it looks awesome.

Amazing graphics are VERY nice to have, but will always pale in comparison to the quality of on the field gameplay.
