Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

OK..I have looked all over and can't find the answer...how does one import 2015 rosters/players to 2016? Can anyone point me to the right place to get an answer?

You can't import a roster directly, you have to start a franchise with the roster you want. Then follow these steps:

If he has not played an MLB game, he's not in The Show.

But what about all my minor league guys that are in the game?

Thank you for your help

I just have one simple question about franchise mode before I buy the game.

Does the CPU controlled teams completely screw up the lineups at the start of the season or do the lineups stay intact? Thanks.

Is it not possible this year to set injuries to manual? I always like to do it so every star doesn't retire from injury after every season like before.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

When going into the roster/player vault can we not sort by category anymore or am I just missing it?

Are you still able to play as the minor league teams in franchise mode? As in, if I start a franchise with Pittsburgh, can I play as Altoona in "AA" games?

Has anyone seen any dugout celebrations like the ones from 15? I play on broadcast mode and haven't seen any yet.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Anyone have a list of names for the unnamed batting stances?

Also does anyone know which Running Styles are which? Not sure why they are labeled by number when they had names for them when revealed.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I have a question. Under umpire accuracy I see three settings, personalized, average and perfect.

My question is about average and perfect. I'm guessing average is a smaller strike zone and perfect is a larger strike zone.

Does anybody know for sure?

Thanks.

Where in offline franchise do you find the scores to the other games that have been played?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I got the game a couple of hours ago. I've played one game and messed around with franchise so here are some quick impressions. This is my first time buying The Show for PS4 so please excuse me if some things I mention have been on the PS4 version for years.

The game asks you if you want to start on veteran or rookie. Even though I am currently up to HOF in dynamic mode, I chose rookie to see how the game treats you. It has an impressive tutorial and you can play the game as it installs. This is a cool touch no one talked about. After the game is done installing, you have the choice to stop playing which I did. Odd that the default is meter pitching and the pitching camera view but I guess a lot of people use that??

Game loads up in like 25 seconds!!! Extremely impressive

Angels stadium doesn't have the new train station in the background over by the Honda Center

Steve Lyons said there was an even better hitter on deck with Trout at the plate(he was referring to Pujols) I almost stopped playing right there and came close to returning the game. This should be illegal.

Hitting is definitely easier. Again, I am starting on rookie but the timing window is much later now. I was early on a lot pitches until I realized I need to wait longer. I won 10-1 and went up a level in hitting but not in pitching which I will get to next. I like the new dynamic slider. Much better.

I hit 4 batter with Garrett Richards. I have never hit more than 3 in all the years I have been playing the show so I hope that was just some weird thing that won't happen again. I allowed 1 run and 3 hits with 4 hit batters, 8 ks and the rookie slider barely progressed halfway. Maybe it's harder to progress with pitching.

I love the split screen that shows the batter and pitcher. That's new to me as it's never been on PS3. I did notice a like screen tear on the mlb the show graphics that would come on between outs or other plays. It's clear but kind of annoying.

The commentary and sound overall are better. Eric Carrots told me about Pujols growing up using limes as baseballs. Felt very Vin Scully like. Very cool.

I am trying out fisheye and so far, I like it. I did see the softball/big ball that people are talking about. I think maybe it's so people can see the ball better to track it??? I notice it's bigger when using analog pitching like I do. Not quite sure why.

I am assuming the game automatically installed the 10GB data that is suppose to be optional because I can't find it in the options like in 15. I have no problem with this but some people might not have the space to spare.

Regarding franchise, it shows you a video of brand new features with a different guy explaining it again. Very cool stuff. The radio show is very cool and it wasn't in the PS3 version but I know that was a feature there last year. I simmed one year so far and I wish some of the big contracts like Pujols and Arod were accurate. Pujols only makes 5 million a year and Arod around the same. Guys like Greinke, Trout, Kershaw etc have salaries close to real life. I guess just newer contracts are allowed to include realistic salary.

Major problem with the contracts though is there is no mention of an opt out clause. For instance, Heyward can opt out after 3 years but the game doesn't acknowledge it. Same thing for anyone with an opt out like Justin Upton and Cespedes. Disappointing to know you will have to wait out those contracts unless I am missing something.

Another thing I notice is that James Shields and Brandon Crawford retired due to injury. That really sucks if you are controlling them in your franchise. Losing a SS like Crawford would really suck.

Those are some quick impressions and I will try to ask questions here if I can.
