Official frame rate issues thread.

[NYMets2016]

Mods since you closed the last thread on this subject, can this thread stand alone as the official thread related to frame rate issues so we can have one topic on the forum where others can discuss this issue and so developers can see how serious or important it is to the community?


On topic, as we all know a lot of debate has occurred about the frame rate of this game, some people don't notice any issues and say the game plays very smooth and others say the game plays horribly.

What issues have you personally noticed?

What ball park and weather conditions was it in?

Was it gameplay or cutscenes?

What are your TV settings?

What camera views do you use?

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to lower latency or input lag and to try and keep the frame rate smooth, outside of basic maintenance of the PS4 and game mode?


I had awful framerates in a night game in Oakland that the game felt unplayable yet in a normal day game, the game played silky smooth and was very enjoyable. I also had massive frame rate issues in Challenge Of the Week and that mode has felt awful on the PS4 compared to how it felt on the PS3 a few years ago. This is a major issue since the batter pitcher interface has a huge importance with timing and having a poor frame rate makes it harder to time pitches along with making the game look worse and harder to track the ball.

I think I am going to try a game in Oakland at night now because I have had zero Frame rate issue with game play and even the cutscences I fell like are pretty smooth over all compared to the past. So I am really wondering if maybe it only happens in some ball parks. I play with Broadcast pitching and a camera that is fisheye but a little bit lower and zoomed in for hitting.

I play fisheye hitting and pitching and the default fielding camera.

Gameplay-wise everything seems relatively smooth to me, the only place where I really notice it is in the cutscenes and the broadcast transitions. Frame rate-wise I'd say this is the best performing PS4 version of The Show to date, although it's still nothing close to the PS3 days.

I played a day game in Oakland yesterday, maybe I'll try a night game and see what gives.

It's not. FACT.

No PS3 or PS4 version of The Show since I have started playing 5 years ago has had this much hitching with such drastic frame drops.

And no PS4 version has had such a low average Frame Rate.

This is the worst performing entry of the series I have seen.

We're not going to bicker, people...that's what got the previous thread closed.

Be constructive and helpful.

The worst frame rate drop I've seen was in Colorado day games when the pitcher comes out of the bullpen.
