One thing that jumped out immediately to me was how smoother the fielding animations are. There were times in 15 that animations would just take too long or there would be a little bit of a stutter from when the fielder caught the ball to when he began to throw it. I havent really noticed that as much this year. I played 15 almost year round and if I get even half of that time with 16, it will have been a great purchase.

Is it normal for the text on the stat overlays to be... like.. sloppy? or jagged, I guess.
The text doesn't look smooth and clean if that makes sense.

I'm not liking how the batters slide backwards in the batter's box on taken pitches.

I was actually wondering if either the changes made last year for realistic skin tones/more variety didn't make it this time for some reason or if maybe PBR is screwing with skin, because something is definitely off compared to 15.
I have to play another game of 15 to compare. I might just play that again. I'm really not crazy about 16. I don't like the cartoonish graphics, and something just seems a little off about this.

Just played my first game. Overall, the game plays a lot smoother to me. The fish eye camera looks really nice, but I couldn't hit at all with it. I switched to the MLB 16 hitting camera and did pretty well. I like the hit speed in the swing feedback window. The game I played was at Busch, I absolutely love that they got the rights to a few of the players with retired numbers and that they have their numbers and pictures on the left field wall. That's much better than having current players out there like they have had for the past few years.
Noticed that in RttS when you hit a HR, it doesn't have the number to indicate how many it is for the season. Saw it in franchise but not in RttS.
Wasnt going to get this game this year.But the streams by Millinium convinced me. His stream was clear showing the show at a better glance. The fidelity of MLB 16 is really something but many key things hold it back from me personally saying it'd be my favorite sports title.
For me sports title either have one or two things going for them aside from graphics. animations and control and then the "wrapper" of what keeps them together as far as button icons and overlays...
Because its a yearly release things can become dated and stale. One of the glaring things for me is in how the show just doesnt have the hitting and pitching feel like you are in control. aas much as they add and shows us that the show is improved in that matter i feel it isnt.
Picking up a game like pys and you'll see right away that pitching and hitting feels organic and real. in the show you have to REALLY dig and merss around with setting to get something remotely as realistic. hitting animations are amazing in mlb 16 but pitching animations are always that good. the release of the ball and how how pitchers follow thru are generally slow. YOU CAN FIX IT BUT...you have to them go thru a bagillon pitching animations to see the same type of pitching animation for the pitcher having a faster follow through and that takes away from the game because then it becomes a editing process..
Guess what im saying is this...when it works it works and when it doesnt its somewhat fixable but ultimately a drag.
Nowadays we want pick up and play but that doesnt just mean easy quick menu interaction it means everything looks real right away..no need for tweaking.
Do i recommend it to someone who is reading this now and on the fence and looking at impressions and looking for detailed info?
well yes and no. One its a no brainer if you're a fan of video game baseball and pretty much your only choice unless like me you get pys2015(heaven on bluray) but two are you really into baseball?
MLB The Show in my eyes has ALWAYS been the system seller esp now on PS4 and its probably the best game on it so in that respect you getting would mean youre getting the best game on Ps4.
Game is Great this year but i would improve these 5 things
1) SCEA have done a fantastic job getting sponsors for player equipment. NOW get real life ad sponsors in stadiums lets make it look like their advertised in real life...get that deal with Budweiser guys! LOL
2) grass. although marginally improved the outfield grass is blurry. I dont like blurry it should be somewhat clean like it is in around. its been improved this year just not enough
3) slow down the pulse meter or completely revamp it as it has HUGE potential. id love a mechanic where where you release the ball that circular meter has a threshold you can press to or hold until it fills. very much like pys or mlb 2k mechanic i miss that here with the show...
4) Add a bat style cursor to hitting. you guys have the 'wedge" but it just doesnt feel like i can take that wedge and place it where the ball would or should make contact...hate to say it but just rip the mechanic from pys
5) achieve TRUE 60FPS... it stutters still and feel no better than MLB 15 or 14... its shame
and thats it.
I wont mention the obvious issue with player models alot are having, but i have a comprised..make it so that WE CAN edit their body types at lease? alot of players look squished

Your favorite team doesn't have the ballpark 100% correct or the jerseys aren't entirely perfect so it immediately ruined the game? I don't get it.
Turner field was incorrect for around 3 years (seats behind homeplate). It somewhat bothered me but enough to put the game down.
You do have a voice, at least on OS. Myself and another user posted in one the stadium threads about it in January of this year and suddenly it got added in 2016. We'll have a stadium missing feature thread soon enough for OS to point out the upgrades or missing features for 2017.
Man the load time is terrible. Logo vault doesn't work and it takes forever to scroll the roster vault. Played a few innings and currently this is a huge letdown.
Just had my 3rd hard freeze in the last few hours.
Had this happen twice now while nearing completion of my RTTS character.

The more I play this game the more I absolutely enjoy it. I am now 15 games into Spring Training and every game has felt different.
Game was running fine this morning, but its unplayable right now, its taking minutes to just change screens, unbelievably disappointing.

The only reason why I might actually consider buying 16 is to use it as a resource to piece together real footage of pitchers and their counterpart to create a constructive massive image thread that will give SCEA visual evidence of how all pitchers follow through are simply too slow.
