    Kudos for the most realistic baseball game

    I just want to give a shout out and huge thank you to the devs for this game. Once you get the right settings and sliders for YOU, the game plays like a dream. It is as realistic as it gets. I play Franchise, and no two games are alike. The variety is just so awesome and real life-like, it makes the game so much fun to play. So again, thank you.

    Well - except for pitchers trying to attempt to bunt 4 times and walking OR just locking the PS4 up completely. And stats being wrong but otherwise it's a nice arcade game.

    Fun game for sure but SO many statistical problems. I WISH they would fix this version before they put out another one OR just make it an arcade game with no stats at all.

    I'm an MoM player and while each game is exciting I spend more time before and after the game looking at stats and it's a disappointment. I'll rent next years before I buy to see if anything has been fixed.

      Best version of the game by far. Every year I think there is no possible way they can top last year's version and every year they do just that. Most realistic and best baseball game that I've played easily.

      Well done SCEA

      I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us in '17.

        I would like the ability to see how pitchers do against LHB and RHB pre game or I would like to see complete Team stats.

        For me it was a step backwords because of the stats. '15 was better and 16 might be a deal breaker as far as purchasing '17. When I have to adjust my bunting strategy because a pitcher misses a bunt and it gets called a ball . . . .

            I'm also a MoM player, and I've had no issues with bunting, or having pitcher's bunt. This year's version is great compared to 15 as far as bunting goes in MoM. Last year it was a automatic strike. That was one of the reasons I got the game this year. Not mention this years version plays so smoothly. I am enjoying this years MoM more then I did last year's. I had already shelved it at this point last year, but this years keeps me wanting to play the next game.

            Only thing SIM about sports games now, are the team name and players

            MLB 23 FOREVER 20 is better, 23 just for Guardians
            Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

              Aren't there enough of these threads. Shouldn't this one be locked by now?

                  Who's insulting anybody? The was meant to show it was a light hearted comment.

                  He basically posted the same thing in back to back posts.

                    Yeah I really agree on the every game feels different. Just so many ways the cookie crumbles. Last night the wind was blowing 15 mph in from center.

                      Yep, the gameplay is exceptional. Really what I look forward to every year are the little things that are added.
                      Like QC, & editable potential, & editable contracts, player import & export, Y2Y saves.
                      When we get to name coaches & mgrs, edit service time, custom divisions, & the like,
                      then everything's zen, I'll be in nirvana.

                        OH - don't get me wrong - I play the game EVERY day I can. Bang for buck it's awesome. It's just that when you are so close to perfection it drives me crazy that they get lazy and ignore details that are so in your face brain cramps. Being a software designer myself it looks like they did not understand what they were doing when it comes to stats.

                        Is it a good game? YES - VERY good. Is it great? naaa. Is it better then last year. Not that much.

                          One thing that I'm really enjoying about this year's game is the cpu calling up/sending down players based on performance. It is something that I've been wanting in the game for years now and to finally see it has added a layer of depth to the franchise mode for me.

                          I see the cpu doing this more with pitchers than position players and got me wondering if they are calling up pitchers based on performance or fatigue, because a few times I've noticed a pitcher will get sent down only to be called back a few days later, if not the very next day.

                          Anyways, not to the derail the thread on a new topic, but I really love the addition of call ups and send downs by the cpu this year.

                            They need to figure out how to make this game play smooth even the cutscenes.

                              5 things this game needs to put it near the echelon of NBA 2k:

                              1) Incorporate the stats/analytics of OOTP Baseball.
                              2) Give us more player personality/details. (badges or something else similar to 2k)
                              3) Fix simulated pitcher CG/SO stats and carryover stats in franchise.
                              4) Fix OF play on those wonky line drives.
                              5) Make it harder to throw strikes in online.

                              It's a solid game, but I'd consider last year's game to be better based on the time period.
