Re: MLB The Show 16 Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I had such high hopes for trade logic this year.



Okay, no problem. Big off-season trade..

Then I see this, the very next day..



Just, why?

Still, this should not happen like this. No MLB team, or any professional baseball team would ever do this.

Hitting
After ten games or so Online, heres my thoughts on Hitting. It has improved last year. Definitely more power, more variety of hits, you can and should be able to bunt for base hits with the fastest players only. I still find myself getting carved up by pitchers who nibble non stop, as you have to guess that exact corner in order to make contact. Using zone plus analog, I'm fouling off a ton of pitches, and its getting quite maddening. I do like how the ball reacts off the bat.

Fielding
Nothing too crazy different. Dee Gordon botched a ball in CF which lead to a Jose Reyes Inside the Parker. Whoops, back to the infield with you. Diving plays are harder/more often. The ball is hit harder for sure, so get your reactions ready. I havent witnessed too many overthrows using meter. Only one, and it was backed up well, no more canned animations of balls in the crowd. More variety which is alwaaaays good.

Pitching
Too easy using meter. Now they improved hitting, but I still think you should be punished more and not be able to pick corners. 3-2 sliders, change ups on the black, fastballs up and in. Give me a break!! Mistakes are punished, but nothing different from last year. Could have used an overhaul.

Online
Disaster, and improved. This poor game never gets opening days right, and I subject myself to it every year. Two games froze. On in the bottom of the 9th, with 2 outs and I'm about to get the save on diamond dynasty. Took the loss. Last game, froze after a ball hit into the hole. Took the loss. Sigh. It's not as 'laggy', but theres a delay as the ball hits the bat. It's annoying, but tolerable. This stuff gets patched, hopefully. Impossible to get a successful challenge on the first time, so stay persistent. Can't play a night game online for some reason...Good pace of play, the jury is still out until the patch.

Random
Closed roofs are the shiznit. Graphical improvement for sure. More animations all over the field, and in the stands. Swag for your create a player. More options, and variety for the user. Sam Roberts on the soundtrack. Faster loading times. Has its flaws, hopefully the dev team catches them.

I give it a 7.5/10. Can become 8.5 with a good patch. I need better online. Period.

Yikes! That's no good. Hopefully it's just an anomaly.
