I agree, the umpire personalities and biases will add an extra element to the game.

I'm really liking what they have added to this years game and the last stream got me even more excited. Just wish they would have shown off a few more things though.

MLB 16 looks great so far, I just hope Sony San Diego's QA department comes through with a solid initial release.

I tried to ask several times in the chat feed but it was so fast they may not have seen it or maybe they addressed it earlier and I didn't hear or see it - but - I sure hope the pitcher being hit by a batted ball is WAY toned down and when he is hit hard, he doesn't just limp around a second and wave off the trainer. That was an unrealistic aspect of 15 I hope they have fixed.

2:45 of this video helps answer that a little bit.

They actually mentioned that if a pitcher gets hit in the head they'll stay in the game. They had polled or tested people and said more people complained that they would randomly lose their pitcher that way.

I thought they said it wouldn't automatically take them out, but you had the option to take them out or leave them in.

I haven't made it through the entire stream from Thu. yet, but I'm liking some of the touch up work on surfaces/textures so far. The batting cam kicks butt. Obviously, there's always going to be room for improvements but it plays as my favorite sports game year after year. A reappearance of SOTS puts a whole OTHER layer of greatness on this title!
