    Re: MLB The Show 16 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Here Are The Details

    After 4 full games post patch 1.04 in franchise mode with my settings (check the slider thread for details):


    Game plays like melted butter. The glitch/choppy check swing animation has virtually been eliminated. I only saw it once in 4 games and it was on a chased hard and away slider where I checked swung and it kind of was semi choppy but not nearly as bad as pre/patch. Before the patch It happened all the time. I check swing a lot and it was driving me insane. Now I can be happy.

    OF routes were definitely tweaked for the better. They are looking even more organic and natural and not every thing is automatic. Guys make mis-reads and make errors where appropriate. Even saw one on a routine fly ball by Justin Upton and it was a welcomed shocker. It happens IRL. So it's nice to see on The Show it can happen as well once in a while with very good defensive players.

    Offline, with a clean screen approach I am loving this game immensely. Best version of The Show ever. And seriously it has made the previous versions dinosaurs for me. I can't stress enough how great the hitting variety and ball physics are this year. It's like a new game IMO. The new running styles are fantastic. The face that steals are not automatic, bunts are not automatic.

    So many little improvements. The patch for offline franchise gameplay has really smoothed out some things and tuned some things for the better. Much better.

    One more patch to iron out some other stuff which has been talked about endlessly and we have an amazing game.

    Very good patch for gameplay offline (for my style of play and game settings). I can't speak for other interfaces, settings etc. Only the way I approach the game.

      That's in the Strategy Guide in "Other-Miscellaneous 3"

      I might have to use Dynamic then whenever I get around to trying an RTTS.

      Always hated the idea of the "level modifier". Never made sense to me.

        Hey Armor,

        Curious on how you play Offline Franchise mode. Do you use a created player with Player Lock and try to build that player up over the season? Or do you control the full team meaning from the pitcher and position players on defense to batting for all hitters on offense?

          No player lock. I use the entire roster and hit and pitch. I also make all throws on defense (button throwing no meter all ratings based) but use auto fielding for ratings based defense. I play on Classic Pitching and Directional/Timed hitting with a totally clean screen. I do use the ball marker though to pitch. That is the only visual aid I employ. I also use default base running so I control my base runners. I do not use auto base running.

            Hitting has vastly improved for me (using TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders, v3). I only have a sample size of 3 offline franchise games post-patch, but gameplay seems smooth and very realistic for me.

              By "One more patch to iron out some other stuff which has been talked about endlessly", you mean the base running thing?
              I haven't had a chance to play much since the patch, so the issue is real?

                Some classic base running bugs that emerged apparently post patch. And online needs fixes again post patch.

                Offline though.....the game is playing amazingly for me. Best Show ever despite some minor gripes about OSD decisions (batter walk up stats cough cough lol)

                  Agreed.

                  I don't play online or games like DD or conquest and this game is absolutely amazing. There are things like you that I wish were/weren't done, but my overall experience has been that this is easily the best of the series.
                  I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                    I wish they would roll this back and go back to how it was before. None of the "fixes" made by this patch were worth breaking what it did.

                      Exactly how I play.

                        That is exactly right. I play offline franchise only and have really enjoyed the game. It has had a few minor issues, the check swing issue which I have only had happen once since the .04 patch, a couple of bad numbers on the outfield wall at St. Louis and San Francisco but the gameplay has been very good. I am not a big fan of the small circle graphs but that is the direction that was taken this year. Still a great game offline.

                          BTW...has anyone noticed if the outfield walls with the incorrect distance has been fixed since the patch? The only one that I know of off the top of my head is Busch, and my Cardinals are on the road in my franchise.

                          Just curious.

                            Busch is still wrong. I don't think I've seen anything about stadium art fixes in the patch.

                              Would like to know if they fix that too, didn't sound like they would according to Ramone. AT&T has the wrong CF distance too. 382 instead of 399.

                                Well that is a bummer.

                                Oh well...at least its just an eyesore and doesn't effect gameplay in any way.
