Game is a lot of fun. Playing my Phillies from MLB 15 is great.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Impressions Thread (Impressions Only)

A couple things that have been in the game for a while but I still think that Sony doesn't get enough credit for:

1) Their sliders work as desired! Everyone has strengths and weaknesses so having sliders that can get you your desired results is imperative. Personally I find the outfielders too fast, too reactive and their arms too strong on default. I lower all three (reaction one to the left or at 4, and the others two to the left, or 3). This allows balls over outfielders heads and bloopers to drop in. The fact that you can adjust the game to your specifications is great.

2) The fact that you can edit the camera and play from there is fantastic. While I mentioned earlier they took my preferred batting camera out of the game. While I haven't been able to replicate it. I've got something that is reasonably similar, if not quite as zoomed in.

The more I play the more I am in awe, and the more I realize that we take a lot of stuff that is amazing for granted in this game.

The only difference that I see in the pickoff moves and cat and mouse of base stealers is that I threw over 5 times in a row in a game against the Astros and now once did I throw the ball into the stands. Other than that, it seems the same.

One thing that changed is the runners take a smaller lead again. Last year you didn't need a lead off extra step to steal 90% of the time. Now you need that and it draws more throws.

MLB The Show 16 Impressions Thread (Impressions Only)

Picked up the game this morning. Feels like a more polished game than last years. Commentating sounds better, more hit varieties, I love the new batting view and the frame rates seem smoother than last years. Graphics seem identical to last years.

Cool thing, with bringing the save over from last year is, the training stuck.
