MLB The Show 16 - New Road to the Show, Showtime Details & Tentative Reveal D...

New Animations Player Uniqueness and Improved Personality

One of my favorite things to see on the list...been wanting something like this for awhile. If implemented correctly, feel like it could add a little more life to my franchises. Can't wait for more info!

whats the twitch channel? It;s mind boggling they don't list it.

There was a link to it in the video.

To me it looks like these perks are throttled so you can't go into beast mode. I also think it may attract potential players to the mode because they can relate to a type of model that is being used in other games. It seems more intuitive than just throwing tons of stubs to get x amount of boost. SCEA is very conscious of keeping the integrity of the sport intact when introducing elements into the game.

As far as story mode, I am not sure baseball has that behind the scene backstory appeal like basketball and football have. Also, I find those storylines terribly scripted and pretty lackluster.

Pretty much if you stop the video and look at the cost and the attribute minimums you would see all the powerful stuff requires you to have the attribute in the 90's and the ShowTime cost is huge.

March 1st and 3rd can't come soon enough. Really hoping we get more in depth trading, free agency, international free agents, contracts, etc.

I'm all for both the perks and ShowTime, if it can attract more casual fans to MLBTS. Every year we here users frustrated about even on the lower difficulties, hitting is too difficult. Or they have trouble fielding and just turn on auto-fielding rather than practice. And especially in regards to hitting, we all know somebody who really does prefer that arcade style over sim, and wants to bat .450 with 85 home runs with their RttS player. The perks and ShowTime may assist them in getting the game play experience they want.

And considering we haven't even seen it live yet, who knows? Even us sim-heads here on OS may still appreciate the Perks and ShowTime? Maybe they would be more fun to use than we think?

I have to admit I'll probably use ShowTime every now and then in RttS, as that's something of a fantasy scenario for me anyway.

I know Showtime is an option but I wonder if you can turn it on or off at will? Or do you have to make your decision before you start?

That is exactly the mode I will only use it in. I have always approached RTTS as a fantasy mode. "Showtime" looks really cool and can add a lot of wow highlight reel moments to your RTTS player's resume. It flat out looks like a ton of fun!

Does anybody remember fun?

I also forgot to mention I am stoked to see the Umpire traits. I love knowing my umpire crews and adjusting to "their" strike zones. I hope this goes deeper and I think it will as it will be a featured stream!

If they have an ump like Bob Davidson...

I will have balks turned off.

Eat that, Balkin' Bob!

I just want the game to be fun again. If you want "sim" go play real baseball.

I hope they archive and save to youtube, because twitch only archives for 2 weeks, YouTube is forever.

Re: MLB The Show 16 - New Road to the Show, Showtime Details & Tentative Reveal Dates

I keep seeing people say they look forward to the umpire personality traits, but i could've sworn these were already said to be in the game last year?

And it didn't really work all that well, the strike zone felt different from pitch to pitch.

Is it just improved this year? Because i don't think it's brand new.

Nothing wrong with wanting "sim", The game is considered a baseball sim after all. But Sony also needs to strike a balance with customers. And the wide range of options in the game does that. We just need to see more about RTTS to judge whether the options are sufficient for all types of players.

At first glance, you may think ShowTime is a bit gimmicky/arcade, but it actually adds to the experience (especially RTTS) IMO. It wasn't overdone in anyway.
