Plus 14's graphics are not nearly as a crisp. This is the year I finally upgrade though. Was going to get 16 on sale, but I'm just going to wait for 17. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited.

Anyone who tells you the last two games were roster updates hasn't been paying attention.

16 blows away 14 in so many ways. Too many to list. Just too many. But the ball physics, hit variety, far better fielding controls, and plethora of better animations alone smoke 14.

Couple in a better feature set in Franchise mode with a very cool player morale system, a much more streamlined user interface, far easier contract resigning, and expanded stat tracking, radio show with scores and game stories around the league in the franchise menu (implemented in MLB 15 and made better in 16) as you look through stat's, scout and set lineups etc.....if your a hardcore baseball console gamer 16 is the best baseball game yet.

IMO The Show continually improves year to year in so many little ways that is add's up to a better experience. I have not gone back to past games since the jump to the PS4.

But most importantly, IMO they have such a passionate and transparent development team who truly listens to our feedback and tries to make a game that is well balanced, feature rich and incredibly fun to play.

Just sit tight and pick up MLB 17. It will be a huge jump for you.....trust me.
