Patch Ideas?

Re: Patch Ideas?

I didn't see this mentioned here, but I saw it on the show nation list:

The one handed follow through's do not work. If you edit a player to anything other than default 1 hand it gives him the 2 hand follow through.

The new LS logo on the bats would be nice as well!

online is still horrible. Challenges failed, lag, game freezing

Re: Patch Ideas?

Personally I would to see them quicken the L2 camera delay.

1. Yes! It feels like my l2 is broken.

2. Add player number to the roster screen, right now there is no way to view a players number.

If you go into edit player, it only shows the players wanted number. So if everyone on your team wants the number 5. Then you have no idea what number everyone is wearing. That is until you start up a game.

3. Please give us a bar instead of a circle graph for pitcher/player stamina. I literally have to get off the sofa, and walk up to the tv to see who in my bullpen is ready to go.

4. Tone down Toronto fans wearing red. They are vs the Red Sox at Rogers in my chise and it looks like Fenway park

Re: Patch Ideas?

When you enter the calendar screen in Season mode (I am assuming Franchise is the same) showing the games to be played on a given day. Before the first game is played (or simmed) all the games show the exact same start time. Then to top it off, once one game has been played (or simmed) the start times vanish. Does this effect game play? No. Is it annoying? Yes. Did it work like this in previous years? No. So why did they change it? Why did they break something that used to work.

Re: Patch Ideas?

I posted this in another spot but I'm pasting here.

Pie chart looks nice but just isn't functional. It's really hard to judge fatigue or compare players. Really hope that they hear enough feedback and give an option for us to use the old way if we want.

I'll add two others as well
1) When you press left on dpad while pitching, it shows who is coming up to bat next and used to show their stats against righties and lefties. This was great to determine which strategy for warming up and bringing in a new pitcher. Now it only shows stats against current picture. Why would they take information away??? Just doesn't make sense. But my guess is to make room for radials. Not worth the trade off.

2) When I am picking a pinch hitter, it should tell me who is pitching currently for the other team (right or lefty) so I know who is the better choice to bring in. I had an instance where they brought in a new pitcher and it immediately took me to the "you might want to pinch-hit for your pitcher" screen. I had no idea if their new pitcher was a right-hander or left handed. Not sure this was taken away but could be useful information.

Really hope these two things can get patched.

Re: Patch Ideas?

You will not see that in a patch, that will be a project. More a wish list type item.

I figured as much. How about a little tinkering on the baserunner AI then or do you think they are settled on how it works as is?

Do you happen to know how the individual attribute "baserunning aggression" works, would adjusting those help?

Re: Patch Ideas?

There is a bug in CPU vs CPU games while using the Broadcast and Hybrid presentations (it does not surface in Fast Play games). But you are not going to see the bug right away if you fire up MLB 16 and enter into a CPU vs CPU game. I have seen the bug surface twice now and you need to have been playing the game a while. The first time I saw it happen was after editing all the line ups and pitching rotations for all 30 teams in my Season yesterday and the second time was this afternoon after I had a number of CPU vs CPU games playing in Fast Play with Quick Counts but then fired up a new game in the Broadcast presentation mode. Plus this bug might be related to "Opening Day" pre-game celebrations. At least I am hoping it is, as if it is, it will be going away soon.

So what is happening? Hard to say but there appears to be some sort of memory leak or code assertions going on as the batter attempts to reset after each pitch. But basically once the assertion has been triggered, the CPU pitcher will just stand on the mound and not throw the pitch and the batter is stuck in a frozen state. The game is not necessarily frozen. Pressing the "X" or returning to the menu screen will reset things. But in a few more pitches the assertion will be thrown again and the game will freeze again. The only way to reset is to completely exit MLB 16 The Show (or turn off you console) and then come back in.

So why do I think it may be related to the "Opening Day" presentation? Well since the game's release last week I was playing Spring Training games (including playing some Broadcast CPU vs CPU games to check sliders and just take in the show) and I never saw this bug until I began playing the Regular Season games yesterday and today. Another sign the you will experience this bug is when you start a CPU vs CPU game, if you see players in a seated position instead of standing as they should be during the Opening Day player introductions, you know the memory has been compromised and the bug will surface. Oh and as mentioned earlier, if this bug does surface, a workaround is to put the presentation mode into Fast Play and the game will play fine. But if you try and toggle back into the Broadcast or Hybrid modes, it won't matter the bug will resurface and you can't even quit the current game and start a new one.

Now I have not reported this as a bug yet as I am waiting to see if it goes away after all the Opening Day pre-game celebrations are done (of course it could surface again in the playoffs).

After a few days with the game, it's clear the fatigue meters are really hard to use. It would have been nice to move the meter to the OVR circle. Fill it up for 100%, halfway for 50%, and so on.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Auto baserunning.

I don't even play this game anymore and play 15 again because it's broken. If that's not in the first patch, they can forget my money in the future.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Biggest thing for me is fixing the hiccup in frame rate when a non default sound of the show event triggers. Strikeout is the biggest culprit but all the sounds cause a slight disruption.

Can we please fix the American flags that play on the jumbotron and other led panels at skydome when Toronto wins. Its been at least 3 years and I know it might not seem like a big deal but it really is.

Last but not least I would love an option to turn off the huge new throw meter under the players feet But leave the meter above their heads on when using button accuracy Fielding. Its nice to have as clean a screen as possible and there really is no need for the new meter to be visible. The top one is necessary though.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Please fix SOTS. The game crashes every single time you try to delete songs (can't even get to the screen). And also pre game music sometimes doesn't play, sometimes it does etc. Very inconsistent and I'm surprised by the high levels Sony San Diego has set the last decade or so about the clumsy implementation of this.

Auto baserunning. I've been playing with auto for years now, this year I've turned it off simply because of the stupid AI decisions constantly costing me outs.

Re: Patch Ideas?

I already posted it in the Bug Reporter:

In gameplay menu I disabled the pitch confidence. It works fine with the starting pitcher. After bringing in a RP, it shows the pitch confidence again. It is appearing in all modes.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Maybe they could go this way next year (if they wanna stay with the circles that is):

And then maybe make it full circle only with the dark blue line. This way it's easier to see who 's circle is more full conpared to the others.

Last Action Hero! Your idea is interesting but you have to be careful with the color of the typography in a idea like this as it affects the readability! Like currently when on the line up screen UI looks okay but when you highlight it the bar turns white making the colored circles along with type harder to read! Good concept though!

Re: Patch Ideas?

Player lock watch full game without pressing "O" everytime

Please add option back to continue to watch the natural flow of the game with player lock in Franchise Mode!
