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

Playing online.

I pitchout suspecting a steal of 2nd base.

He does steal, my throw is in plenty of time. 2nd baseman catches the ball puts his glove down and then raises it up allowing the runner to be safe.

Ridiculous.

Sorry but need to whine: what happened to Cameron Maybin's hair? In last year's game he had those baby-dread things, this year they're gone. I tune into a real game and his hair is actually longer now, not shorter. Like wtf man. Who makes these decisions? And why the heck can't we just edit hair?

I really wish the computer would call timeout when I take too long to deliver the pitch.

This game really pisses me off sometimes. I played a couple online games this morning and it really made me question this game and the stuff that happens.

The first game I was beating this guy 12-1 before the mercy rule kicked in. His pitcher got rocked and he had fielding errors. Second game was the EXACT OPPOSITE. I threw Bumgarner and he was beating me 13-1 before the mercy rule kicked in. Bum got rocked and there were fielding errors. Two blowout games in a row???? I find it hilarious that something like this would happen.

Third game I was Cubs, he was White Sox. He shut me out 7-0 with Chris Sale. Sale is unhittable in this game. All I could get were slow choppers and foul ball pop ups. Yet I throw Jake Arrieta, the best pitcher in baseball, and he tees off on me.

Elite pitchers don't feel elite in this game. Too many times do great pitchers get rocked in this game. Fielding errors resulting in runners on base or runs being scored are extremely frustrating. I get to the point where I get so fed up with the BS that I end up shelving it or getting rid of it and never playing it again. The last 2 years I've played the game for 2 months and then ended up trading it in. Looks like it might be the same situation this year.

Probably how the Reds felt last night when they committed 2 errors resulting in runs scored...
Meaning, it happens.

That animation drives me insane.

This is my favorite iteration of this game however there are waaaaaay too many GIDP for both me and the CPU.

This game has the potential to be so good but it's nothing more than a bug riddled mess.

-Baserunning still messed up costing you runs.
-Missed tags frequently costing you outs.
-Framerate issues.
-Bunting is still way to easy with pretty much any player.
-Balls get to the outfield way too fast on hard hit balls.
-Broadcast presentation completely butchered.
-Challenge failed.
-Fielder throw urgency nonexistent allowing runners to be safe way too often.
-Online franchises getting stuck and not allowing advancement.
-Player roles/morale getting messed up and making no sense.
-Playoff rotation fatigue issues still present.
-First career homerun/opening day bug still present.

And those are just the issues off the top of my head!!!

This game is no longer a day/week 1 purchase for me. This is easily the worst handled release of The Show since it's inception.
