Normally, no. However, you can do player lock in a play now game and you'll get access to Showtime.

Either before or during the game, go to the lineup screen, select a player and press R2 (or L2 to control the pitcher).

Ty sir for the reply. Appreciate the 411.

Has anyone figured out how to steal 2nd with runners on the corners. I have tried using the left joystick and L2 but it still sends both runners.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Can someone answer my question about how I can't get swing info to show up? I don't want to play another game until I figure out what happened to it.

Once you start a game, I believe you have to turn Pitch Select Display on, go back to the game, then go back to settings and turn Pitch Select Display back off.

I know you said you did, but:

Hold left stick to the right (selects 1B)
Press/release L2
Rumble confirmation of steal attempt
Release left stick.

All of this before the pitcher starts his windup. Works every time for me.

Move and hold the left stick first and then press L2, then let go.

Huh? Here is my OP:

"""Okay this is driving me crazy. The first game I played everything was fine with the swing/pitch info. I have played 3 games since then and for the life of me, I can't get it to work. It's set to on in the options but R2 doesn't show anything. I have tried all different kinds of buttons while hitting and it just doesn't show up. All R2 does now is show the current batters pitches. I even went into the options and checked it off and then saved it and then went back and put it on and still nothing. When I am pitching, I need to push the right stick in to see the current info but still no swing/pitch info is there. All R2 does while pitching is show the catchers mitt. Please help me get back swing/pitch info!!!!

Also, I played during a raining game and it seems to have no affect on the game and the field doesn't get muddy or anything. Has it always been this way?""""

As you can see, the problem is I can't get swing/pitch info to work at all.

Unlocks trophies and shows how much you've played the game. Kind of just like a reward system.

Ill have to try again, whenever i use the left stick it tends to just aim my hit and then send the guy at 3rd home when i release L2

Ron Roenicke is the Angels 3rd base coach but in the game, some guy named Liu is. Does anyone know why?

Probably because Ron Roenicke didn't sign his agreement.

Make sure you move L stick first.

It is working as designed, you may just have to practice it.

Well that stinks. Is this something that can be patched in or do I have to just get used to it?

Maybe Lou will be better than Ron.
