MLB The Show 16 Review (PS4)

[countryboy]

This game should be rated 100 on a scale of 1 to 10 in my humble opinion.

IGN for ratings..Since when have they been consistent ? They praise every COD game like it's the best thing ever. They get paid to overrate the same garbage games. UFC 2 is very very solid game that will only get better in the months to come

I respectfully disagree. In my experience, and given I mostly play sports titles, IGN has been pretty spot on on their reviews. Usually if they go 8.5 or above I don't regret the purchase. I have no idea what you see in the UFC game, but for me the mechanics are off, the "damage" is 100% cosmetic, the best way to win a fight is to just spam press the same move, or use ground and pound. The career mode is a complete joke, and the energy "meter" is horrible. The presentation was MUCH better with the THQ versions last gen. But other than that... the umm.... walkout music is pretty solid.

The grips have not changed. They still vary pitch type to pitch type. What you are highlighting there is the release. In MLB15, the pitch grip was maintained even after the ball was released. Now, pitchers/fielders look like the are actually letting the ball go during a pitch/throw animation.

Sorry, my mistake. All grips have the same release animation. Thanks~~

Wow, had not noticed that before. That's not what a hand does after throwing a fastball though.

Great, now I can't unsee it...
