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

I finally start my RTTS. Buy some stubs and it's not showing in my account. This is crazy.

Also I miss BP before the game.

Imo this game is growing stale. Great game, but u not really missing nothing if u stick with 15'

One major head scratcher is why only 5 save slots max for franchise and season?

Would love to know the answer to this.

It's a PITA with all the classic rosters, season files etc. I know we have USB but I have to save the file to the usb then delete from the HDD because if I don't and say I overwrite a 2016 franchise file with a 1987 franchise file....then I go to save it to the USB as well....it wants to overwrite a file on my USB with a different season/franchise file.

It's crazy.

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

I'm perplexed and hoping maybe someone knows the answer.

Why do we have the option for Daily Rosters in Play Now when the rosters aren't updated?

For example, I found a starter (with starter stats since Play Now / Daily Rosters now tracks stats during the MLB season) that was in a team's bullpen and not listed as a starter.

So this stater that just threw several innings the day before was now available as a bullpen arm. That defeats the purpose of playing this mode.

I've also seen lineups being shown incorrectly. If we are using Daily Rosters, why aren't the lineups the same as the game we are playing? I can understand playing a game that has not taken place, but if I play yesterday's game, the lineup should mimic the actual lineup card unless I specifically make changes.

Seems Play Now Gamers are ignored here. Or am I missing something?

I have seen Matt Moore and Chris Archer in the bullpen at the same time using daily rosters....

I haven't been able to play DD for 3 days now. It finds an opponent and then the Challenge Failed error appears every single time.

No other game I play online is having any issues.

I really miss the old Play Now mode. In MLB 15 was great, never had a problem, lineups were correct and there was even the complete box score. Now you have only the final score, daily roster doesn't work and sometimes, it depends on result, you can't even know who is the starting pitcher.
This was Play Now in MLB 15:

I've got to say with the apparent drive away from realism, at least according to some forum posters, and the lack of any improvement in the actual color of grass and some field textures I sure hope 17 is still on the right track.

Well....you're assuming that those posters are correct in their assumptions.
They are not.
So....grain or pound of salt.
You're gonna have to take it.

Opinions are wrong eh?

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

Personally, I don't get the impression that the game has gotten away from realism. The game is as realistic as its ever been, if not more with some of the new animations, the new hitting concept, and the changes to franchise mode. I'm not sure what exactly it is about the gameplay that has people believing that its taken a step back from realism.

And if the one of the biggest complaints is the grass, well then I would have to think that SCEA did a pretty bang up job on the game for this year.

Do you understand the difference between opinion and assumption?
Your opinion may be that the game is moving towards arcade.
That can never be incorrect.(your opinion)
But your assumption that it is....can absolutely be incorrect. The basis for it.

I never said anyone's opinion was wrong.
But nice try.

The lack of realism issue is more a presentation issue, then a gameplay one. Especially if you are talking about RTTS.

There have been so many cuts and removals over the last couple years, the actual experience of coming up to bat, the actual at-bat itself, and the in-between are basically a pure arcade experience at this point.

Hopefully with the introduction of Hybrid and Quckplay, they can restore Broadcast to how it was.

In terms of gameplay, I am seeing a lot of homeruns, and not a lot of singles, but I need to play quite a bit more to see how that plays out.

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

I played on broadcast today and it didn't show any batter walk ups but the first one every inning.

I switched to hybrid and it has walk ups. Switched back to broadcast and walk ups were back.

I think something is screwing up the two options which might be why guys are seeing different things than the developers intended.

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

Just finished my first game of MLB The Show 16.

Threw a PERFECT GAME versus the Diamondbacks with Noah Syndergaard. 14 K's. Won 3-0.

(Never thrown a no-hitter in any baseball game.)

Best. Game. Ever.

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

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME !? It seems the camera angles have changed during the flight of the ball DURING FIELDING. I remember in 15 you could actually view the ball in the air as its coming you direction. Now if someone hits a HR and I go to the wall I can't look up to find the ball. Do I have to change a camera or am I not pressing a correct button? Please help me.!? Overall I give the game a 9.3 and that's only based on having no loading screens and the fast pace play.
