I'm going to sound like an old crank (I am) but here goes:

--Fonts hurt my eyes, even with a flatscreen.
--Size of the baseball is ridiculous.
--Custom camera can't be zoomed.
--Removed all of the "catcher" camera option for hitting.
--Strobe light flickering of the sky with many camera choices,
in many venues is going to cause me a stroke.
--Outfielders who won't throw the (expletive deleted) ball before doing
some kind of hop dance cost me outs every game.

--Lastly, (and most importantly for me) any continued franchise,
custom or ported roster results in every single player angry
about their role on the team. (Every starter expects to be the "Ace", every reliever the "Closer" and every position player the "Star".)

I loved 15' so I've gone back to it.

Just a bit of a warning. (It's not all bad but these things break it for me.)

If you go through this thread there seems to be a common denominator here. The size of the ball doesn't bother me, but nevertheless, it's an issue for others. Don't forget the the glitch where everyone seems to be wearing sunglasses, even during night games (I've experience this in exhibition games not sure about other game modes).

If you are talking about the custom camera for batting or pitching that we can set, it can be zoomed with the L1/R1 (or L2/R2) buttons - I forget which ones.

I am starting to get a little frustrated with the outfielders' double glove tap/double crow hop animation when guys are on base and running.

With no one on base, it looks cool, but when someone is trying to stretch a double into a triple, and the center fielder is hopping around and tapping his glove, even on a pre-loaded throw before the ball is half way to him, is not acceptable.

I even went in and edited the offending players to make sure their first position was where they were playing, just in case there was some sort of penalty for their playing "out of position", but that did not do it.

This was not an issue last year, so where this branch animation manifested itself, is beyond me.

If anyone is curious, the $20,000 (and I assume the $10,000) box of packs seems to be the best deals when buying cards. The Opening Week and the Spring Fever doesn't seem worth it to me... I've been playing the market earning stubs so I could try out these deals.

And I thought this late swing/miss but ball still goes into play was just me...

If you're playing on Dynamic difficulty and starting from the Rookie level the contact is more forgiving. It's been like this since MLB 14. That's why you manage to make contact with late swing or even early swing.

This may be a dumb question, but how do I get to The Show Live? I don't see it on any of the options on the main screen.

Lower left box on main menu screen.

Thanks. After some playing around I found it. I didn't realize I just has to select "Daily Lineups".

Font size is a big problem for me. I have to sit close to the tv just read it. Is that something that can be fixed via a patch or am I stuck with it for the whole year?

They could easily fix this with a patch, but the question is will they fix it in a patch...

Yes, the outfielder hesitating seems to be a pretty big issue.

Can someone with the PS3 game do me a huge favor?

Are the Frisco RoughRiders (Rangers AA) logos/uniforms updated from last years' logo change? I know the PS4 version has them, but not sure if they updated the PS3 enough to account for it.

Any help there is appreciated. The old stuff was a red/black color scheme with a stylized RR with a horsehead logo. The new stuff is red/navy/cream.

I had to create a "fake" RTTS profile, but here are the pics (I had to take a picture of my TV with my phone, so the quality doesn't do the PS3 version much justice) the away picture is better - go to next page:

I have taken a 2 year hiatus from The Show and am thinking about coming back. Are the rosters interchangeable between ps3 and ps4? Or they are separately created for each system?

I do not know, I was wondering the same about the market (if the market is both ps3 and ps4)...

But I will say, if the last one you played was 2014, this one blows it out of the water. 2015 was a lot better than 2014, but this one is better than 2015.

Market and rosters share the same network.

Thanks for doing that. Wanted to make sure that made the cut this year before purchasing. Thanks again!
