I am still rolling with 16. 17 is the first show I did not purchase at release.

Very surprising, Nem. I see the potential in 17, but in its current state, I see why people are still playing 16.

I have to say this is surprising to see people still playing this. Especially Countryboy.

What are the reasons you guys went back? For me, ball physics alone makes 17 much better.

I guess if it's server issues I can see it, but imo gameplay is much better in 17.

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

My main issue with 17 is the QC issue. Loved 16 but 17 is a better game but I should have stuck to guns and waited a while for the issues (there's already some) to get ironed out.

For me, I think that '16 is the more balanced game and provides a better game of baseball on the whole.

There is no doubt that '17 offers things that '16 cannot but the overall feeling I got when playing '17 is that balance was off.

I guess the best I can describe it is that '17 feels more "arcadey" to me than '16. Couple that with a few of the bugs and I feel as though '16 provides the better experience.

My personal opinion is that because of ball physics and humanity AI that '17 needs more tuning then I think they can do via patches.

And honestly I'm not one to wait on patches to play a game. It either entertains me at the start or I move on.

As I've said before '17 isn't a bad game, it's actually a good game. It just isn't my game.

I've gotta say I kinda agree with you on this

I was playing 16 solidly for the month prior to 17 releasing and was enjoying the hell out of it and that enjoyment has certainly dampened since I've been playing 17

I think I'm going back to 16. If 16 had just a little bit of a ball physics tweak, 17 would have nothing at all on 16.

I can't help but think SCEA has gone without competition for too long now; a little pressure from another game developer might do them good.

17 is a very good game. However, in my opinion, 16 plays a better game on the field from a look and feel point of view.

17 is gorgeous...16 is more realistic...in my opinion, of course. Maybe they can get 17 to the same level in a few months with tweaks and patches.

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

Agree 100% with capa. But I too am holding out hope that a patch or two will bring game/realism on par with or even better than 16.

You are preaching to the choir. 16 was also a better game from a results point of view. 17 had a better profile picture on the dating website. Then you took her on a date and it didn't work out. 16's profile picture wasn't so great but you took her on a date and fell in love.

Just finished a crazy game against the Cubs where I won 13-5. Started out with 4 in the first and then they scored one in the bottom half. I scored 1 in the 2nd to make it 5-1. They scored 2 in the 4th to make it 5-3. We score 2 in the top of the 5th to make it 7-3. They score one in the bottom of the 6th to make it 7-4. But we blow it open in the 7th scoring 5 and putting the game out of reach.

Neither pitcher got past 5 as both hit 100 pitches in that inning.

Game saw a combined 5 homeruns and 11 walks.

I wouldn't personally go back to '16 but I understand why some are. '16 is a cleaner game right now with all of the issues with '17.

I respect country boys opinion and I'm thinking of downloading 16 again (I am a digital download guy). Are there current rosters?

Yes there are current rosters in the vault. I haven't downloaded any but there are 3 that I saw.

Also OSFM rosters are there for anyone interested

16 was ok if you don't mind the crappy framerate.
