I thought the show 15 produced the most realistic results despite the cpu pitcher not throwing over. It will be interesting what they come up with this year but I'd prefer to leave it as it was in the show 15 than return to getting picked off every time the pitcher threw over like in prior versions of the game.

In 15 playing against the cpu they very rarely threw over and when they did it was because I had triggered the steal too early. I never picked off one base-runner either and the "look over" clearly had no effect. From what they have said it seem like there will be a much more effective "cat and mouse" game then the last few versions.
