I lined into a double play this morning. I had Ellsbury on 1b and I lined it right to the 1B who stepped on First. Killed a rally down by 1 in the 8th.

@KBlover, Thanks,
that's a very good point. I am going to roll with my year-to-year & redo my edits as I go. I"m still not understanding name database. Maybe because they're uncommon.

Hi folks - long time lurker, new poster. Huge fan of the OSFM rosters (always wait to start my franchise until they first appear).

So, I'm having an issue that's making the game virtually unplayable. In offline gameplay, I'm having a millisecond lag from when I press 'x' or '[]' to my swing while batting and my accuracy on meter pitching. It's just enough that everything I hit ends up late (or I miss completely). I was trying to play Giants-Padres the other evening and I struck out 19 times against Tyson Ross. And Bumgarner gave up 11 walks because I could not hit the zone.

I'm looking to you all for help.

-My other games are fine - no lag in FIFA16, GTA5
-I've deleted MLB and reinstalled twice.
-I've turned user timing and user contact all the way up to see if that helps, but I still get the lag

I've Googled the issue to no avail, so I'm turning to you.

Help me! I need my MLB!

Some very quick initial impressions:

Feel like fielding took another solid step forward. Players move a bit better and the transition animations look smoother.

Hard to say much about hitting as I'm working my way back up Dynamic Difficulty. Definitely seems easier to turn on a fastball which I like. In very limited time I feel like I've already seen some expanded hit types. Encouraging so far.

When pitching, I feel like the ball has more life out of the pitcher's hand. The release seems a bit more explosive than the past, which is a good thing in my book.

Little disappointed in the initial issues with carryover franchises, but I haven't investigated much myself. Hopefully all that stuff will be patched quickly.

Actually, last night I had the CPU line into a double play. I took special note of it as it was so rare last year. The batter hit a shot right at the 1B and the baserunner was a couple steps further from the bag than the 1B, so I was able to double him up.

As another veteran I would like to state strongly that I disagree with this. The feature worked great last year and we haven't even had a patch yet to try to address this. Carry over is a phenomenal feature that adds a lot, scrapping it would be a huge mistake.

EDIT: Whoa! Just found this link for a Conquest Q & A Thread!
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...er-thread.html

Me too. I have NO clue as to what the heck's going on! LOL

Gonna watch some Youtube videos and try and find a tutorial or something. I mean, there's a tutorial in game, but there's no WHY and it's just telling you what's happening. I'm baffled by it.

But it's fun, I really enjoy the little 3-inning vignette games. Looking forward to learning more.

I see myself probably playing this a lot. I also want to try to get in RTTS. I seem to always get so caught up in my franchise every year that I barely play any other modes.

Scrap Y2Y? Probably the worst idea I have ever seen suggested for The Show.

Listen up Show Nation.....it's being overblown, hyperboiled to the extreme. I am here to calm the masses. I am here to shed some light and dispel some things about Y2Y in the current state.

First and foremost the team is well aware of some of the minor quirks (or major to some and I respect that). But for the majority of The Show Nation who love this game dearly and just want to get going:

Here is my manifesto/impression on Y2Y saves for 16 in it's current state and the last time I will talk about it.

If your not overly ADD (and again I respect those that expect it to be fully functional out of the box but new features were introduced in Player Morale and Stat Tracking and I actually expected some hiccups with Y2Y on launch because of this) about a couple of things here is the deal:

1. The only morale bug is the player role is only Star or Ace/Closer but that will fix itself in your off-season and all roles will be available. It is only one factor in the other 7 or 8 things that make up the total morale Happy/unhappy grade for your player. I went through just about every team and players and I saw 99.5% players had no movement in their ratings because of it. So it is truly a non factor. And again once you finish the current season and press start off-season. All roles expectations become normal and based on the code the developers have in place for new franchises.

2. Career Stats - OK so all your previous season stats do carry over. The issue is some don't and a zero is there. For walks, Games Played, etc. it is an eye sore when your look at the player card.....it does not affect the game itself. It is cosmetic (and HOF can be affected I get it). So if your not worried about your player card looking clean for past seasons don't sweat it. It does have previous AB's, BA, R, RBI's, HR, SB. And if a patch addresses it, it will be fixed. If not....I am not sweating it as I play these year to year and the stat columns will fill accordingly going forward for future seasons. If your not ADD about it by all means start playing your carry over save.

3. Netherlands bug - less than 2% of my players have that bug out of 750 players in the Majors and all the minors leagues too. It will be addressed hopefully in a patch.....but it is so overstated as a potential game breaker. If it is with a key player edit him to the correct birthplace.

4. I fully expect inflated Budgets to be addressed on a patch like last season.



That's it. For me.....I have transferred all my franchise and classic season replay files.

I am all in on MLB 16......play ball everyone.

Great post A&S!

I can't get over the fielding cameras. All of them are so far back from the action. Gap shots to the wall are so hard to judge off the bat and the fielders look so small and far away.

Really keeps getting worse every year and this is almost hard for me to play with. No good option for a low to the ground and more zoomed in camera when fielding or after you hit the ball on offense.

And with some of the camera tilts it is very hard to field or judge the ball off of the bat. Ground balls deep in the hole to short are bad. The camera is positioned in the stands and kind of pans and tilts making it so hard to really read the play.
