    Re: MLB 16 The Show Impressions from us puny "last gen" PS3 Consoles

    Hi. Play the PS3 version Manage Only in broadcast mode and also notice some black lines that appear usually when there is a play at first base. Is this the same thing as you're seeing and have you found a fix for it? Thanks

    Your welcome, I started a season with my Houston Astros, and I have noticed some choppy graphics issues (black lines in the left and bottom of the screen during a hit - I use broadcast settings). But the overall gameplay seems smoother than on 2015, to me at least.

    I honestly don't know abut the stats as I haven't compared anything to real life stats - I am getting torn up 6-2 by Texas Rangers right now, I am using Keuchel, but I have pitching set hard for me (Hall of Fame with Pure Analog).

    I do have to say, though, that they don't have the batting camera angle that I liked with 2014 or 2015 (which is batting zoom 3, I think), so I am having to work with the custom settings to get it more how I like it.

    As for the announcers, basically the same, some few new lines, but they seem to call the game better (think of 2014 to 2015, I might say the difference between those is close to the difference between 2015 and 2016).

      Re: MLB 16 The Show Impressions from us puny "last gen" PS3 Consoles

      I have been wanting to do tryouts that affect how I get drafted for over a decade but I can't find ANYWHERE weather or not the Bowman scout day and showcase games are in the ps3 version. I'll be really disappointed (and feel like an idiot) if I drop $40 for what mostly feels like what I can do on Show 13 (although having the Drillers linked to the Dodgers will be nice at least). Can someone PLEASE confirm if the Bowman scout day and showcase games are how you start a PS3 RTTS carrer? I even tried to rent it and Family Video said I need to "update your system if you want to rent new games". :/

        You can still do scout day. You practice hitting or pitching to see where your player may be at then you play the typical 3 game regional schedule

              No one could say for 100% certainty but historically they take care of their customers. So, in my opinion, yes they will be releasing a patch for gameplay issues. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one release.

                    Roofs only close in the PS4 version.

                      I don't have the game yet, but Im mostly excited by what Ive read on this thread. Looks like this game wasn't an oversight on ps3. They actually put some work into it.

                      Any chance someone could post some video/screenshots somewhere, or point me to where it has been posted?

                        Do they have the expanded stat tracking in franchise mode that I saw in the PS4 trailers? According to the features list, it is indeed in the ps3 but I would just like confirmation that players career stats like OBP, 2B, 3B, BB etc. are kept year-by-year for hitters as well as expanded stats for pitchers are there.

                          Mike Trout just doubled, advanced to 3rd on my throw to the cut off, rounded 3rd as my 3B caught the ball, my guy waited 10 min, then threw home too late. Home run. Then he hosed my guy out at the plate with a perfect throw the next inning, no double crow hop. My guys double hop everytime.

                          The Brewers have green names on their alternate jerseys when worn at home with the road alt hats.

                          Too many guys miss fly balls right to them. Just plain drops. And a lot of bad throws... Not a huge deal there, though.

                          The defense is very sluggish even on top of the double crow hop.

                          I've had 3 catchers get hurt in a matter of 4 games.

                          End frustration rant.

                            I am waiting patiently for word on a patch or some sort of update on the PS3 side...

                            But honestly, if you read the post-patch notes on the big boy console thread, they are not faring much better.

                              Two things I find ANNOYING

                              Live Rosters NOT updating (Even though the game SAYS it did update them)

                              Example - Where is TREVOR STORY ??? I've relaunched my Rockies Franchise & HAVE YET to find him (I searched all the WHOLE roster (Even Class A & Double A)

                              Video Stuttering - Frames either drop or repeat (I've seen both). It's EMBARRASSING having to remind & explain to my Twitch TV viewers that the video stuttering they're seeing IS NOT the stream or my PC or some other streaming related anomaly but rather THE GAME ITSELF

                              Even the latest update (Which I applied today) doesn't fix the issue

                              THIS MUST BE FIXED SONY !!!

                              FONT SIZE - Make them BIGGER & EASIER TO READ !!! This problem is ALL OVER the game

                              Finally - Other things which I don't find as annoying BUT could use some improvement.....

                              Score Ticker - Make it a little bigger overall (Read my complaint on the font sizes)

                              * Add REAL LIFE news & scores - Even if it's a seperate part of the ticker, it should STILL be included

                              Afterall it DOES say the scores are coming from MLB.COM so why not back that up with REAL news & scores from around MLB ??

                              Also adding the score ticker to RTTS mode (Once the player makes it to MLB) would be nice too

                              Extra curricular activity - While they've take out a lot of stuff like pitcher walking back to the mound after a pitch & other between pitch things & have totally eliminated the simulation of simming of stuff which doesn't involve your RTTS player (Or at least made it an option if you read the fine print at the bottom of the screen) & have added the Quick Count feature to Franchise, there's still A LOT of other stuff that goes on during the course of the game IRL which can also be taken out of the video game in just about EVERY mode to spped up gameplay EVEN FURTHER

                              If you take a good look at some of the other stuff they left in, you'd see what I mean & how much MORE total time could be saved with its elimination

                              One BIG one is BATTERS WALKING UP TO THE PLATE !!! I mean, why not just simply PUT the batter the plate just as the pitcher is put back on the mound after every pitch and/or whatnot ??

                              If you take a good look at the gameplay, you'd see what I mean & see why I believe these things could be easily eliminated in order to speed up gameplay even further & move the game along EVEN QUICKER

                              That's all I can think of for now

                              Cheers & GAME ON

                              EDIT Two NO-BRAINERS.....

                              ShowTime - While I'm not exactly a big fan of this feature, I do think SCEA needs to consider moving the hot button for it from R2 (Where it is now) to L3. Even more ideal, just use the L3 joystick whereas all we have to do is just flicker it to trigger ST

                              Holding the L3 stick in the UP position gets a close up while shifting it up & to the left will swing ST to the left as well as up close, shifting it up & to the right will swing it to the right as well as up close

                              In any case, using the R2 is just simply IMPRACTICAL if your player is a pitcher because that's where all the pitches are

                              Quick Count Announcement Vs Pitch Choice Location (Franchise Mode) - Either the QC announcement is going to have to be moved to the left or the PCL is gonna have to be moved to the right (Where it belongs in the first place)

                              That's because with the QC announcement in its current align center location, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to see the pitch the catcher expects to see if that pitch requires the SQUARE or R1 buttons. That means unless I catch it (By some chance - FAT CHANCE if it's the pitch assigned to R1) or hit the R2 button to see it, I have NO IDEA which pitch I need to throw

                              While this is no biggie to me (Again, I'm no real big fan of ST), I'm left wondering how something like THIS escaped the QA team at SCEA.....

                                I noticed that 1.04 is now out for the "little brother" system, but I'm not too keen to update it if all of the big brother issues are in there, too. I've been using Classic base running for years and I'm too stubborn to switch!
