MLB The Show 16: Road to the Show Revamped, But Is it For the Better?

[Spokker]

The slow motion gimmick might be useful to experiment with how the bat interacts with the ball.

I think it would be cool to slow down time in batting practice in order to study the arc of the pitch and things like that. It's sort of how I slow down time in Rock Band practice mode to develop muscle memory and stuff.

How can we tell if it's better? Great headline.

As long as there's an option to play RTTS the ol' fashion way, then it's a no-brainer perks are for the better. Unless your idea of fun, or better, is to deny other players fun.

Obviously they're making the perks/showtime stuff optional which is good, but I really hope the game doesn't implicitly assume the player is making use of it. Something like a mandatory screen before you play where you have to "equip your perks" would be very annoying and take me out of the experience, even if you can choose to select no perks.

I hope there's a way to avoid perk screens and turn off showtime prompts completely so I can play as if they don't exist at all.

If they are really dying to give as info about the new features, why not releasing everything at once lol

From the little I've seen of RTTS, not much to excite me other than just another year of the game. RTTS is a great mode, I play it all the time, but what I want the mode to be must not be the immediate vision of the devs because I've been waiting on it for years. These perks and showtime are not anything I want to play with. I want better managerial/GM lineup and decision logic, more statistic tracking, contract incentives, no trade clauses, endorsements, trophy rooms, etc. Some of those logic improvements may be in this year, we'll have to wait and see, but it doesn't sound like any of the off the field improvements to the mode are in.

I really dont like the idea of perks. If its a non obtrusive thing that isnt in your face and is something that is easy to ignore i guess its no big deal though.
