I've purchased the new version of the game every year, and every year the game is better than the year before in terms of graphics, hit variety, etc. I was already to go buy the 2016 game, but after reading quite a few posts about users being disappointed in 2016 I'm not sure what to do. I really like 2015, and assumed I would enjoy 2016 even more. Now I'm not so sure based on some of the posts about being disappointed in 2016. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: 2015 or 2016???
I for one am VERY disappointed with some STAT problems but overall it's pretty darn good - a number of new graphics sort of suck and I don't know why they would fix something that is not broken and not it IS broken.
HOWEVER - there are a number of pretty nice new things that make it worth it. In game "last 10 game Stats" and so forth.
I think what you are hearing are complaints but the overall impression is very good. Just small brain farts on some features.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
The majority of posts I've seen have been extremely positive. Haven't seen too many people that are disappointed. There are a few bugs/imperfections right now, but overall, I think this year's game is an upgrade over last year. Very polished.Creator of the most realistic draft classes on NBA 2K

Re: 2015 or 2016???
I haven't seen anyone really disappointed that it is not a good game. Only that it is very similar to last years version. Honestly if you haven't played 15 and don't care about updated rosters then I would say 15 is not a bad option. However if RTTS is important at all to you then 16 is a must buy over 15.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
Well - the SEASON Stats are embarrassingly simplistic they are so bad but I love 90% of everything else. The IN GAME SABR stats are like last year BUT FIXED. The SEASON stats really have no SABR stats except WAR and are missing all the good stuff. My ONLY real gripe that if it's not fixed I won't purchase in the future. Baseball is not only the game but the stats that go with the game.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
This is easily the best MLB the Show game to-date I don't have that many complaints outside of missing uniforms or choosing CPU uniforms in RTTS, doppleganger faces for minor league players in RTTS, and missing STATS. Everything else is solid though. So many things were improved upon from last year and the thing I really like is when a game sets itself up for potential to keep improving every year.
The only two things that I really need to see in the future is a Create-A-Ballpark feature that's like building a house on The Sims, Owner's Mode, or snow and cold weather breathing.
I gave this game a 9/10 as it's the best baseball playing experience I've had since MVP Baseball 2005 more than 10 years ago. It was very well worth buying a PS4 just to play this game. I wish SD Studios could make a football game man it would epic if they can cut a deal to do a college football game and later get the rights to the NFL and give EA Madden some real competition.
Most of the reviews I've seen are positive and favorable not many bad reviews out there if any.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
Depends on how one looks at it. If one is expecting a certain feature and/or improvement to specific area(s) of the game and unfortunately time didn't permit developers to make notable strides, then it would make sense those gamers would and could be disappointed.
Personally, I am still waiting for drastic improvements to all pitching motion and improved player models and infielder/outfielder throwing motion. Considering those two have not been effectively touch, I for one am disappointed. I skipped 15 and hoping 16 would be the savior. This is not to say the improvements made are not appreciated, they are very much appreciated, but specific improvements that I was looking for weren't present in 16.Last edited by strawberryshortcake; 03-30-2016, 04:02 PM.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
IMO, very good game, though not perfect. My biggest gripe is there seems to be more bugs in this game than previous ones. Otherwise, worth buying. My three cents.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
that's true.. and for me it's easily impressive because the last baseball game I played was MLB 08 on the PS3. I also compare it to the other recent sports games that have released.... Madden, FIFA, PES, NHL, NBA2K and I already can tell this game is better than all of them imo
I can see how someone who buys every MLB show game every year be slightly disappointed in a feature... but for me this is the best baseball game I have played easily. I quit playing baseball games for awhile though.. but I grew up with Coleco vision basebal... Ken Griffey's jr... RBI.. bases Loaded.. Sports Talk baseball.. . MVP baseball.. WOrld Series baseball.. played them all.. even 2k's recent.. this is the best by far and also the best sports game over FIFA16 and NBA2K16 from the last year to release so in that regard I think it's hard to imagine disappointment for me
to me this is a game someone should that hasn't bought a PS4 or Xbox one yet should buy a new console for..Last edited by stevostl; 03-30-2016, 04:07 PM.Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
I've never based my video game purchases on someone else's opinion. If you want to buy it, then go for it. What I've noticed here is that people will complain about anything so take what they say with a grain of salt.est 1978

Re: 2015 or 2016???
It isn't that I am disappointed..I just anticipate that there will be things I like and things I do not..
I, like you, have bought every edition since the start (except 14) and every year it has steadily gotten better..sure things have been removed, changed, added..but each year it has gotten better...Can current problems in 16 be fixed? I don't know..I'm not a programmer...Can this game be better? Yup..
But over the years I have come not to give into the hype..for any game..because when I do, I become disappointed..As gamers we have come to accept bugs on the first day of release..we've accepted that makers of these game want more than just your 60 bucks and focus their efforts on other areas of the game..Comment

Re: 2015 or 2016???
I really did not care for '15. The batting camera was difficult to read pitches, the pitches themselves were hard to pick up. Too many comebackers at the pitcher, the fact that there really weren't any hard doubles down the lines, etc. A lot of the games felt the same.
I've now played a handful of games for '16 and the hit variety is the best I've seen since '13. Seeing eye singles, only had two comebackers at the pitcher, and even had a wringing double down the right field line that was misplayed in the corner.
The fisheye camera may not be for everyone, but it really helps me recognize low pitches much better now. PBR lighting stands out big time, and the rain effects during night games is really cool.
Overall, this feels like the first big step up since the PS4 released. In every game I've played, each game has felt different.Comment
