Wish I could play the game more than I have... It's mostly just online failed challenges over and over again.

I straight up want a refund at this point. What a huge disappointment this game has become.

Someone in the Q and A thread suggested disconnecting your internet if you want to play this game while they work out the kinks.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Has Officially Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

I interrupt the complaining (justifiably so in reference to loading in online stuff) to gush about how I love that new IK engine. One of my RTTS pitchers has a delivery that has him taking a big step over to the side and whether I get a punch out, pop fly, or get hammered into the 3rd deck, the animations that play out are so damn smooth. I just love the way my player bounces when he gets a K.

I also love how players emote more than just an idle golf fist pump when they get a big hit. Everything is so much smoother and better.

But it does get offset by some of the same things I've seen for the last several years like the same create a player faces and hair styles and body types. Sure, some of the hairstyles have been updated and look better than ever, but when I see the Red Sox and see Hanley Ramierz's awesome hair or Johnny Cueto's hairstyle, I'm like "Why can't the braids look like actual braids and not like 10 really big caterpillars are sitting on my player's head?

Maybe the devs love caterpillars. Ever consider that?

It's obvious where they spent all their time and good work it is.

The glaring issues that were present in previous versions just continue to tear at the integrity of the game.

They're small issues but here they are - I play in season mode controlling several teams against the computer.

1. Pitch counts - still way off. A starter may have thrown 105 picthes but at the end of the game when you review the stats of the game their pitch count jumps up to the 140's - it's almost like they are taking the total pitches for the game and lumping the to the starter.

2. Computer Manager - What a knucklehead. Brings in left handed pitchers to face right handers - pinch hits left handed hitters against left handed pitchers and vice versa. They need a slider that says 'Manager Stupidity' and the lower you set it the more bonehead moves he makes.

3. Replay - They needed to add a feature that allows the Manager to argue strikes.

4. I'm done bitchin.

I have played well over 50 games of this year's installment and all I can say is that it gets better and better with each new game I play.

Well done SCEA.....well done...

Loving this game. One thing I hope they patch is when using a retractable roof and selecting rain or overcast skies it's still sunny with the roof closed. It's minor and annoying, but by no means a game breaker.

I don't know how i feel about precision input yet. To me, it's good at bat: with directional hitting, i feel to have more hit chances with great hitters and less with crappy ones. For some weird reason, in MLB 15 it was quite the opposite ( for me ). Now, pitching. It doesn't seems heavy stat related this year. I suppose that's the reason why people find it easier. I mean, there are pitchers with good control but very little command on the pitches, here is like every pitcher has huge command on the ball/location. At the moment, i'm All Star+ in pitching, meter interface, and still Veteran+ in hitting, directional interface. Simulation wise, what you think guys ? Is precision input a step in the right direction ?

I think precision input is absolutely a step in the right direction. Too many times last year, I felt as though I made solid contact with the ball only to have it be a weak pop up or dribbler. I don't see that this year. I've hit more line drives this year than in any game of the past.

Precision input is one of the best additions to this year's game, imo.

Precision input has made HOF a viable option for me this year on pitching. If I get hit, it's because I made a mistake with the meter, or picked a bad location. I haven't felt cheated once, and have been rewarded many, many times. Love it.

I agree it has made this game 10x more enjoyable than last years version. Pulling the ball as a hitter or squaring one up has never felt better.
