Any chance a patch is added so pitchers can see what they have thrown in that particular at bat. It was in 15 and I can't seem to bring it up now. At least not online

Press L3 to see that info.

Stride stride stride!! That's the number one add this year.

This may sound crazy, but I bought a PS4 just for this game. Having never played MLB on PS4 before, I was kinda expecting more visually. It honestly didn't look all that much different than MLB 15 on PS3.... That said, I've only had time to play a game and a half so far. I haven't noticed any frame rate issues. Last year in MLB 15, the stuttering was maddening. Thankfully I haven't seen it... yet.

Really my only gripe is that there isn't any way to view Hot/Cold Zones manually. With Quick Counts enabled, Hot Zone Preview is disabled, so I'm forced to either always have them on or not see them at all.

in the middle of game 1 spring training thoughts:

+ No more framerate stutter in this game. must have been from the install demo.

- stillhas that dreaded 'snap back' between pitches sometimes where the batter warps back to the plate. not a fan of that.

+ lighting as we all know is incredible.

sucks playing as the yankees as they had so many rookies debuting last year that like 15 new guys all have artists rendered faces. Aaron Hicks looks particularly bad,

more to come.

more to come

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

my biggest pet peeve right now is not being able to throw warm up pitches with my starting pitcher. Wish that wasn't taken out.

I loved getting into a groove with their pitches before starting the game.

I'm really enjoying Fish Eye a lot more than I thought I would.

Game seems to be more jaggier then last year. Not sure if anything has changed with AA implementation or not.

Anyone else having the same problem?

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

i don't like the changes they made to base running in RTTS. I'm a pitcher but boosted my hitting stats and speed is 90. when i get a single it goes to the count of the next action instead of seeing the entire at bat. how am i going to steal bases when the guys count is not in my favor

Re: MLB The Show 16 Available, Post Your Impressions Here

im a pitcher so i cannot see these options, i want to see the entire at bat not just the next action

Not gonna lie, I am still bummed that they haven't got Progressive Field correct. How hard is it to place the tarp down the line?

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

Just a few things that are really irking me from total enjoyment, thus far, with the game. Most of these are aesthetics.

- The fielding cameras are awful, to me. They are so zoomed out that I cannot see what is going on while playing on my 70inch screen. Wish we had a custom fielding camera, or at least one that was way lower and tighter on where the action was.

- Thought I would like the round meter for attributes, but I do not. It is very hard to read for pitchers and players in the menus. I do like it on the base paths, however. Please give us the option to use the line/bar meters or the round ones.

- As others have mentioned, the font size is a bit small in some areas.

- I really dislike the player attributes circular graphs for the player ratings. Just give me numbers, please. Or a choice.

- There is still no option to display batter information on the screen while playing. I would like to know who is at bat, what they have done in the current game, and what their main stat lines are for the season, all while the pitcher versus batter interface is occurring. Likewise for the pitcher information. Give us the option to display or hide all of that, please. I really dislike hitting any buttons to retrieve information that should be available to me at a moment's notice, because to me there is no difference between hitting a button on the d-pad or hitting the start/options button.

- The Menus seem a tad clunky and cumbersome on the very front-end. I have no interest in Diamond Dynasty or any of that stuff, I would like to bury it somewhere and never think about it again. Even trying to adjust the settings is a bit wonky, with stuff sort of being hidden or buried.

- Was really hoping for some new animations for certain instances. Feels like we have had the same game ending sequence for a long time (to name a specific) and it is very stale. No need to remove things, but please add to them in the future.



These are the negatives that jumped out at me just in exhibition games, thus far. There is still so much good in the game and most of what I would point out has already been noted by others in this thread, or in others. Thank you for all of the hard work, SCEA! I hope that some of these issues could be addressed moving forward. I am not sure if cameras can be patched, but if there was one thing that I would like to see changed, for my own benefit, it would be having more fielding cameras (especially the lower, tighter shot of where the action is while the ball is in play).

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

Just a quick observation, Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz's stats from last year are flip flopped.

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

Anyone else annoyed that they don't show the season stats every time the batter is up? Heck if they show the splits you don't know anything other than that. I hope this can get fixed for sure!
