Love the new lighting, especially at night. I also think they did a much better job this year with the new batting and pitching animations.

Only problem for me so far is the framerate is pretty bad. Hopefully it gets worked out as it really hurts the gameplay. Other than that, loving it

Haven't seen any framerate issues on my end for the digital version.

I'm with you on the animations...they look much better now.

I have played both versions, gave my early hardcopy away, and downloaded the digital last night. I have not noticed any difference so far Flaxseed Oil.

Haven't spent too much time with the game yet, but initial impression: smoother. The animations, the transitions between animations, the flow of the action are all much smoother. Difficult to tell how much the new lighting engine has impacted the actual graphics improvements, but the scale seems more realistic. Both day and night games look great.

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

Haven't played a game yet but spent some time doing batting practice this morning trying to work out how I'll play the game this year, and I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed at the new precision input engine.

I played directional on veteran to start out. I played as Bautista with Tillman pitching. First pitch in the zone is a high inside fastball. I see it all the way and time it perfectly. Foul tipped behind the plate. At first I think "Hey, maybe that was just a fluke. After all they didn't promise ALL well timed swings would result in hard hit balls." Too bad the rest of the batting practice went the same. Perfectly timed hits resulting in fouls and choppers.

Worst part is, I went back to center swinging on zone and got much better results.

I'm going to give directional another try later when I play a full game. There are a lot of things I like about it. Hope that my experience in batting practice was just an exception.

I also noticed an incredibly broken animation from the check swing. Yikes 20 minutes playing the game and I'm catching all the worst of it. Still, looking forward to this afternoon when I can play more.

Pretty bad?? What? I assume this is hyperbole as it's been smooth for me.

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

This game is amazing! It's so damn gorgeous and smooth. I have played 3 games strait and bout to dive into the 4th after lunch. That says a lot considering I'm a casual (at best) baseball fan. I can actually mount an offense now. I always struggled with hitting in The Show on PS3. Now, I'm putting non HR points on the board. This out of the box. Great job, devs!!!
