MLB The Show 16 Instant Replay Challenge System Remains Unchanged From Last Year

[Turbojugend]

I would like to echo what Bullit said. I'm also one of those that enjoys a fully uninterrupted game whenever time permits. However, that is not always the case, and it does irk me a bit to know that skipping through scenes when I'm pressed for time basically counts as a downvote toward the full game experience. There should be a better barometer.

It's not that simple nor is the decision making process a quick one. We track everything and I mean everything to create the clearest picture possible on how everyone plays the game. It's an overwhelming amount of info not just did X skip through y presentation.



We've catered to OS community a lot over the years and continue to do so. Every secret CD is 75% filled with representatives from OS. There isn't another community with that much representation that we listen to.

However the OS community represents less than 1% of the people who play the game. So there will be decisions you like and some that you don't like. It's impossible to do everything and equally as impossible to please everyone. But we'll continue to try.

That's fair, I just wonder what their plan is now going forward. Are they going to leave the barely-finished 1st base replay system in the game? Or are they going to take it out?

Also disabling blown calls has a ton of other ramifications beyond just the replay system. There are incorrect calls all over the game, which I like (they just can't be challenged). I wouldn't want to remove that human element entirely.

I don't want to give off the impression that my heart is broken by this news. I'm more just surprised than anything. SCEA rarely changes their course in this manner.

I do still want a proper replay system. I think it would be an interesting and fun feature. But, if such a project would have taken resources away from improving ball physics, core mechanics, and key game modes like franchise mode, then SCEA undoubtedly made the right decision. A replay system is like a hot tub. We all want one, but it's not going to make or break your decision to buy or sell a home. There's far more important things, and I'd rather have a great home first.

Yeah these things come to mind as things that shouldn't be an issue on a next gen game in 2016.

I believe this quote could be re-used a lot on this forum in the next few weeks.

Change forum to site and next few weeks to forever and I can 100% agree with you.

Ok I'm confused. I haven't read the entire thread. But I do not skip any cut scenes at all. I actually enjoy long games. Are they removing cut scenes, or something else to make the game play faster?
