Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

What brands are new this year to equipment? So far I've only seen Under Armour on catchers gear.

Can I see some pictures of Bryce Harper and PNC Park? I'm putting this I'm here as the media thread said to request media I'm here.

Thanks!

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I noticed in one of the streams that the lights at Great American Ballpark were not on during an overcast day game. Last year, the stadium lights would be on for overcast weather. I hope this is either just a bug at GABP, or maybe this will be fixed in the day 1 patch.

Can anyone confirm if lights are on during overcast day games at other stadiums?

Have any of you guys played with the reintroduced analog stride? If so, how well does it play with the improved precision input?

I play with stride and zone analog. Lets just say I never knew how much I missed it till using it in MLB 16. you will be happy.

In Postseason Mode, is it possible to play during the day, or are all the games still night games?

Caught some streams last night...

Graphically, best version I have laid eyes on..

Audio sounds great..I like how you can hear the footsteps hitting the bag and hear the player walking on the grass

Commentary..Tired..Did not really sound "reworked" and had a lot of those "dead" air moments..

Last but not least..until I actually play it...But the umpires still have an amazing fascination with touching their masks after almost every pitch..If this was "fixed" you're fooling me..

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Is there a video or individual screenshot for each batting camera posted somewhere?

Although "Fisheye" is interesting (and will be tried), I created my own in MLB 15 based off of the "Catcher Zoom" camera (#2, I think). I just read someone saying they thought all "Zoom" cameras are gone.

Are they? I'd love to see a video or picture of each option. Thank goodness we still have custom camera (that was confirmed by Russell himself on video or in a forum post), but with no zoom as a basis it will be harder to get what I want.

Thanks!

What do "good" players set their gameplay options and sliders to?

I am fairly new to this game, I just picked up 2014 at the end of last season, I just bought 2015 and have pre-ordered 2016. I have been playing video games since the Atari 2600 (I am 37 y/o). I have played the 2K series, but I fell in love with MLB The Show immediately.

My question is, what do "good" players set their gameplay options and sliders to?

I want to get good at this game, and I have the Dynamic difficulty set for pitching and hitting, but by Veteran++ I get demolished on hitting and can somewhat hang there for pitching. I want to get good enough to play people online, but I know I am far from it right now...

Sure, personally I put every setting at the highest possible level and I make sure each slider that can affect gameplay is working against my success.

I'm pretty familiar with my home stadium in Franchise so I typically play those games without using my TV, just using Matt Vasgersian's voice as a guide.

Anyone know what "no access token" means? Trying to check out vaults and Internet related things and it keeps saying that. Could it be because the game hasn't been officially released yet so no access?

Online features aren't available until the game has officially been released.
