MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I asked this in the roster forum, but is there anyway to keep the rosters I set to stay like I've got them in franchise? When OSFM came out, I spent hours setting the batting lineups and pitching rotations like close to reality, only to have the CPU tear them. I hate the fact that, for instance, they have David Wright batting lead off instead of Granderson. Is the only workaround a 30 team franchise?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Has anyone noticed that all of their players think they're on the bench? Literally every position player on my 25 man roster has "Bench" for their Morale Status

And all of my pitchers think they're in the bullpen.

And it's every player in the league.. not just my team.

I'm having the same issue, also Pilar is a "Star" I have no idea what determines this..

30 team control is the only way.

Nope. You need to unlock sunglasses, pretty much like other equipment. I'm not sure it works as intended, but it's your only option at the moment.

Thanks.

This is an utterly stupid concept. Every RttS player I've ever had has worn sunglasses.

How do you unlock them?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Is there a way to play corners in middle back? In conquest mode whenever the winning run is on third the entire infield comes in. I've gone to the defensive positioning screen and even if I switch positioning to "normal depth" the middle infielders stay in. Then the batter will hit a routine double play ball that turns into a base hit to win the game. Am I missing something?

If you have defensive shifting on Auto, it might be overriding your manual shifts.

Has anybody else seen a glitch where the box score claims you committed 25 errors? Had it happen to me tonight using the reds against the cubs in franchise.

I've unlocked sunglasses simply playing, it's a card-equipment so you can get it even with daily log rewards. It's random. I need to check, but maybe equipment is also avaibile on the comunity market ( ? )

Are you certain the Reds didn't commit 25 errors! :wink:

thanks. will have a look too. but don't get the concept of "reward". the game is baseball - not a fashion-bonus game.

Red: Overall rating

Green: Fatigue (the less green, the more fatigued they are).

Anyone know if there is any other way than the green circle to see fatigue level? I'm having a real hard time seeing it and telling the difference between each of the players. The bars from years past were a lot easier to comprehend.

I had that happen on MLB 15. I was playing as the Astros against Texas and Texas had 28 errors (according to the box score). It counted them in the Team Stats and screwed up their Fielding Percentage all season. I can't remember if it applied them to a player's stats as well.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I'm in a bit of a dilemma, having just purchased a ps4 a few weeks ago, I can buy either Madden 16 or Mlb the Show 16. Having had no baseball game since 2k13, I have a few questions before I make my choice.
1) In the mlb prospects, are the faces decent? And the names? And do any of them opt out of going to your team, in favor of college?
2) How are the servers? I had issues with nba 2k16's
3) Is it worth the price?
Thanks for any and all help.

I've turned Pitcher Confidence Display off in Settings yet it stills shoes up half the time or so. Anyone else having this issue?

LOL Yes I am certain the Reds didn't commit that many since I was the Reds. I play with auto fielding on. If I played with it off I am pretty sure it would be realistic for them to commit 25 errors.
