Banged out 4 homeruns and 23 hits against the Pirates on Hall of Fame difficulty.

I love hitting this year!

Isn't Josh Donaldson supposed to throw up the sixes after he crosses the plate after a home run?....Haven't seen it at all...

I asked a similar question to this in the Q&A thread. Trout and Pujols also don't do what they do in real life after they touch home plate on a home run.

Just played my first ever game of DD and it'l probably be the last one too. Was leading 5-1. Lost 6-5. The guy had runners on 1st and 3rd and would double steal and my catcher would miss the tag at home every time.

I'll stick to playing offline if that's how online is.

Pretty sure if you preload a throw to second, and then cancel it, the catcher will just stare at the dude stealing home everytime. Even if you run into him I don't think he will tag him.

Had it happen to me a couple times.

I hope these are just bugs. I call this one the memory loss. I play offline franchise CPU pitcher throws the ball bounces off the catchers helmet he removed his mask and just stood there. The CPU runner from 3rd base scored and I lost the game.

I captured the video of it cause it was hilarious. There are just so many bugs happening right now that I'm just trying to deal with it and wait for the patches to start to roll out!

No, I sat there and he stepped up, went to tag, and just missed.

Just played my first and last online game. Game was fine until about the 7th inning. Then it started to lag, and freeze. I was down 2-1 bottom of the 9th with 2 outs, had runners on 1st and 2nd. I hit a blooper and send my guy from 2nd to home. Except he stands on third for about 3 seconds and THEN decides to run home after the ball is halfway there and I get tagged out. I threw my controller across the room. Same s#!+, different year.

Ya there is a huge lag delay when queuing up certain commands. I've seen countless times runners continue running past bases when I let go of the shoulder button long ago.

I have hit a few hr's with McCutchen and never saw the tip of the cap he does,like i saw in one of the dev streams.

They must be only for walk offs or gs's.

Forced to use fastplay online sucks. Me and my brother play one another and love to take our time as we take in all the sights and sounds. Game looks gorgeous yet it's hard to get a good look at anything with constant cuts back to the batters box.

Hit a big homerun? Can't even watch the guy round the bases because it instantly goes to the next batter.

Yeah it's such a shame that we can't enjoy it because the game does some things very well! I'm forced to use fast play offline right now. As it's the only way to get close to "All Pitches" back. I couldn't keep hitting the "O" button on time between at bats I gave up!

It's being noted in the forums that it's doubtful that the full presentation options will return to MLB 16.

I'm really trying to hold out on hope though because I love baseball! If it doesn't arrive in the first two patches then it's probably not going to happen.

If the developers actually watch these threads they should know that more than 0.04% are not happy with this issue. Until then there's nothing we can do but try to enjoy playing on Fast Play!

Good Luck!

Re: MLB The Show 16 Has Officially Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

Turning off fast play should be an option for those who want it in unranked games. For DD or Ranked they need to keep it on. I appreciate that the games can be completed online in a reasonable amount of time.

I could have swore I saw signature home runs as a bullet point. Did they remove the animations?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Has Officially Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

Just played ranked game. Hard fought win of course no record of it even being played in game history or in record. ....

Re: MLB The Show 16 Has Officially Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

You must be the lucky one. My friend and I tried for some time, twice tonight, at different times to send challenges to eachother and nothing went through. I'm also finding the Game Lobby bulletproof challenge system is failing now as well. What a horrible night for online MLB.
