What is the first thing you'll do after popping in MLB The Show 16?

Re: What is the first thing you'll do after popping in MLB The Show 16?

This year I am aiming for a fresh approach to MLB The Show. I am not carrying over a franchise, I am not waiting for a roster, I am not waiting for sliders. The day of release I will start my standard two franchises and my RTTS and I am not looking back.

I said I was going to do this last year and I didn't. And once again, none of my franchises made it past May. The constant resetting every time a better roster comes out just kills my plans of an ongoing franchise. There are always a Giants minor league player that I "have to have" in my franchise that gets added by SCEA mid season and I reset. Or OSFM drops, then an update drops, then another. Or a drastically under-rated player finally gets their due (Matt Duffy last year).

This year, I'd love to just start at launch and not look back. Hopefully I'll be able to have the willpower to do it. SCEA allowing us to import new CAPS from roster updates to overwrite generic game created minor leaguers into existing franchises would go a really long way into helping make this a reality. That's by far and away the number one feature I'd love to see in this years game.

I'm in the same boat here. I know so much about my favorite team and pay close attention to the real life team that I always restart my Franchise with them for rookies/updated attribute/trades/etc. So my plan this year is to have 2 Franchises. One will be with my team (and will likely get restarted multiple times as usual), and the other will be with a team I've never done one with (I'm hoping this one will stick because I won't pay super close attention to the real life club).

Once I pop in MLB 16 the first thing I'll do is probably pop out if history is any indication.

Why? Is something wrong with your blu-ray drive?

Play as the Cubbies at home with Arrieta, most likely against the Cards.

Re: What is the first thing you'll do after popping in MLB The Show 16?

I was curious as to what every will do when they first pop in the game. Do you play exhibition? Check out rosters? Dive in Franchise mode? Play RTTS?





Myself, the very first thing I'll do is go to my beloved Cardinals and create the minor league players. After that, I jump right into Spring Training of Franchise mode. Whomever is my first opponent, I'll go and create their minor league system. Then after playing a game, I'll do a team's minor leagues from the Cactus League and then the next team I play I'll do theirs. I do this up until I have created the minor leagues for all the teams, all while enjoying the Spring Training of my opening season.



So what about you? What will you do?

I did this last year but am carrying over my franchise so it will just be of the updating variety.

Set up my RTTS player ( Cardinals LF ) and then begin my journey to the " Show " ASAP, no waiting around for me I will check the stuff as I go.

Usually I play an exhibition with the Rangers at the Ballpark.
This year should be no exception.

I know I said I will do my transfers (my franchise files and my classic seasons files).....but after that is done.

1) Play some exhibition games in some classic stadiums to check those out!

2) Get a feel for the game in general, browse the menu's, hit Diamond Dynasty to get that rolling as I loved it on MLB 15.

3) Hone in on any slider adjustments I need to make (All-Star....always All-Star for me) as last season they were minor in nature and I expect the same thing. This is by far the easiest sports game to tweak sliders with. Literally takes me 15-20 games to lock in my settings. It's a joy.

4) And get playing. Between my carry over Franchise (1987 Year 2), Diamond Dynasty and playing classic seasons....I will be set. My son will start a brand new franchise as well with the SCEA stock rosters. He does not care about full minors....he just wants to dive in and get going.

oh and jack up the wind to see if the wind really has a true effect on the ball like it did 3yrs ago. ( damn i miss that)

This year even more than previous years, play a quick game in each new closed roof stadium version and the new classic stadiums on the PS4. I love to put it in replay mode and do some sightseeing and just enjoy the tremendous work done ( and the PBR effect this year wow ). I love in those games to try the new uniforms as well. While playing, I'm paying a lot attention to all the new animations and cut scenes. GF goes a bit crazy when I mimic the scene of the new catch or double play animation just saw and wasn't in the game the previous year.

A blast.

Then will transfer my current franchise. Just one little thing I think would help when transferring, is to be informed of what player cannot be transferred and given a generic name. I understand the problematic and licensing issue but just being informed would help.

Start Spring Training of course!! I try to play the regular season along with the real Red Sox..I try to match exact starting lineups/pitching rotations/trades etc..I won't see an actual stadium until the regular season starts..

Nah, just my batting skills.

Re: What is the first thing you'll do after popping in MLB The Show 16?

Normally I check out all of the stadiums. Then play some full games so I can set my sliders to my liking, then start editing rosters.

Say a silent prayer in my head that there are no major bugs.
