MLB 15: The Show: Impressions After Four Days of Playing

[Panthro63]

Really loving this game so far. Three games into a franchise, each game has felt very realistic, challenging and beautifully displayed.

I don't really mind the new camera angle/flinch thing batting w/ medium view after contact. It's refreshing, IMO.

The navigation through menus is sooo much easier than it used to be. Feels as if the umpire's varied calls are more realistic - and it goes both ways, where in '14 I felt like the player always got screwed.

In about 7 games, I've discovered just one bug that hit me twice in one game at Wrigley - foul balls that were about 7 rows deep near the dugouts, the fielder starts pulsating/jig-jagging on the wall - then the ball suddenly makes a sharp turn toward the field and goes in his glove!

Looking fwd to playing and enjoying this game all year long.

I am loving the game and am glad to see I am not the only one with baserunning problems.. Quite a few times already I have had guys thrown out at second because after starting out at first for some reason dive back to first or at least head back after a hit by the next batter... This really needs to fixed.. It has been a problem for years

I have not seen this answered yet. I am waiting on a few things before deciding whether to purchase it. Drop in price, considering there were apparently not a lot of major improvements. The reviews of this game on multiple sites. Patches. If they did in fact remove Manager Only Mode then I have no reason to buy MLB The Show 16. One thing that I won't tolerate is the removal of features. That is I don't buy anything from EA.

I found manager only mode. You can access it from the daily game view screen.
