Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I read that there are much less 4SFB in pitch repertoires this year. Can someone do a solid and post a bunch of pitchers repertoires I am curious if it's really true!

I've been using this site. Look up any player and you can see attributes and pitch types.

Are the saved replays in HD now?

Have you seen any bone headed errors? I had to adjust the sliders because of the insane amount of errors in 15(for PS3)

Any new modes that mimic rivalry? Can you just choose the 2 teams you want to play in the World Series and play against a friend?

Does it only take about 30 seconds to load up a game?

Has the progression screen changed at all in Franchise?

Have you noticed any players retiring for lame reasons? Profar retired at 24 because of contract even though he was on my team since I signed him in franchise. Weaver retired for age when he was only 35.

Can you challenge a call whenever you want or do you have to wait for the game to give you the option?

Will the umpire always let you call time out?

Have you messed with the sliders yet?

Yeah about that. He may want to do that in real life.

Hit variation is pretty good in my opinion. Have seen a lot of new variety so far.

With analog pitching, when you move the stick back upwards for location, the display flashes a color (red/yellow). What does this mean and what effect does it have? I assume it's similar to the yellow/red at the end of the pitching meter, but I'm not sure how it works with analog.

Agreed. He is not nearly a 79 like he was rated in 15. He needs to go to the bullpen and if he still gets lit up, he needs to retire. He took a huge pay cut to stay with the Angels so I can't really complain. He is also a gamer and so I can't fathom him hurting the team by continuing to pitch if he stinks up the joint.

How slow or quick you thrust upwards determines the power behind the pitch. Yellow is average throw power and red is max power.

I was checking out Millennium's stream just a bit ago, and there was a mention of a bug when hitting from the broadcast view. I believe it was described as a "big ball bug" or something.

Does anyone have any info about this?

I see people talking about it but I have not picked that cam to witness it yet.

They were reading the patch notes for update 1.01 on the OS stream but I missed some of them, are they written anywhere we can read them ourselves?

Thanks for that I didn't know that. [emoji1360]

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Are you guys hitting on the same difficulty as in '15?

Seems like I'm reading more about guys getting a bunch of hits and double digit scores in their games. Sounds like the precision input is awesome and more rewarding and pitches this year are a bit slower and easier to read. I'm just curious if anybody has moved up (or down) in difficulty from what you are accustomed to playing?

I usually hit on All-Star but from what I'm seeing I will probably start out on Dynamic difficulty and see where that puts me. Can't wait for tmrw!

I have been hanging on HOF(my usual spot) and just when I think about moving up I get bitch slapped by the game and just end up staying where I am.
