Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I noticed some minor frame rate issues when I played this game at home, but today I brought my PS4 over to my grandmas house and the game is suffering from serious frame rate and input lag issues. Im very late on 75% of my swings because the input lag is so bad. It wasn't like this at my house.

What kind of TV are you playing on? If it has it, turn on game mode, that should help the input lag issue.

This may have been asked already but, is anyone having an issue with the swing feedback display not showing up on the screen. My first two games it worked just fine, but since then (and I checked to make sure it was still turned on) it hasn't appeared. Did I toggle an option that disables the swing feedback, or is this a bug?

Lol. Yea it has by me. Back a couple of pages. Long story short, turn on pitch selection. Save and then turn it back off.

Can someone explain how Battle Royale works? I thought you were entering into Round Robin Tourneys? Or do you just try and win as many games as you can before 2 losses knocks you out? The more wins the better the rewards?

Does anyone notice a huge lag when checking the runners on base (while you are pitching).

In previous editions the left trigger let you look at the runners almost instantaneously, in 16 it there is a long delay when trying to check the runners.

Yes. It's been mentioned multiple times in this thread and the impressions thread.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but can you not press "L2" in RttS to catch balls manually anymore? I liked this as I felt it made playing defense more challenging and interactive, if it got taken out that bums me out a little. Also can anyone explain Showtime hitting to me? Do you only have to time your swing correctly (when the bigger reticle shrinks to the same size as the ball) or do you have to move your aim reticle over the ball as well (I'm playing with Zone hitting)?

Most likely it's gone.

Most people probably had no clue it existed, so their data showed nobody used it and it was removed.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

When i promote a SP from triple A and send someone down, the triple A lineup loses the 9th place spot it just says empty and my only option is to autofix the roster to fill it. Is there another way around this?

You don't need to do anything. It will fix itself. I have seen this a ton and never had an issue.

Damn....it's too bad as that's something that really made RttS stand out for me. I don't know why they would take it out though, even if few used it. It can't take any work at all to move that from one game to the next can it?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

About those new swing types, how do I tell what type of swings a player has and what button it's associated to? Or are the new swing types just cosmetic and the circle button will always be the one with the most contact, and square the one with the most power?

I'll never use a power swing with a lead-off guy, but if square is now a slap hit or something I need to know.

I don't believe your type of swing affects the type of animation you see.

I use the power/contact swing a lot and don't see a difference in the animation.

Oh ok. I guess it's not a swing selection thing, but more variety in the types of swings that each player can have.

That's cool I can dig it. Just a simple misunderstanding, thank you Speedy.

Can you turn the infield shift graphic off?! It shows up every batter [emoji51]

I find it helpful, personally.
