MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Idk why the trade logic is not based off "difficulty" levels.

Every baseball game I've ever played lets you get away with robbery. I thought MLB 15 The Show did a pretty good job but it was still plenty easy to get elite players. I use the Angels and was able to get Bryce Harper(was tough to get), Manny Machado, Chris Archer, Shelby Miller, Brandon Belt, Dee Gordon, Brock Holt, Jose Iglesias, Mauer and some other guys without giving up Trout and being able to keep guys like Richards, Santiago, Heaney, Perez etc.

Bottom line is if you want to trade for a guy, you probably always will be able to pull off a trade that isn't fair in real life but a video game can only do so much. It's more up to you to trade what you think is fair or realistic. I personally will trade for guys I know probably will never hit FA or it will take many seasons before they do.

Does Arrieta not have a cutter in the game? Saw a video on youtube where he had only a sinker, slider, 4 seam and a 12-6 curve.

Not having a cutter on Arrieta is ironic as hell.

Hopefully this is fixed in an update. Replace the slider with a cutter and give him a changeup as a fifth pitch

Are there any new franchise goals? Would love to rebuild a team without being forced to win 81 games.

You do realize you can edit him to have any pitch right?

You do realize I can't do this for online play right? The reigning cy young winner should have his pitches correct

His pitch is actually a slider hybrid so they don't necessarily have it wrong.

It should look closer to a cutter than a slider but he wasn't allowed to throw a cutter with the Orioles so the pitch was always referred to as a slider.
