MLB The Show 16 Has Officially Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

[willithome]

Anyone else annoyed that they don't show the season stats every time the batter is up? Heck if they show the splits you don't know anything other than that. I hope this can get fixed for sure!

I do like the game as I threw a perfect game my very first game last night, but there is a few things got me scratching my head.

* I can't figure it out but the skin tones on the players don't look right at times, not sure what it is but maybe in 15 there were more lighting or more glossy skin flesh on 15 I am not seeing this on 16.

* When viewing the players player card noway to see what his jersey number is and there career stats are wrong.

* The carry over year 2 year save from 15 to 16 has missing data, a lot of players have this white player model and face for even the African American players as well. No players in that have career stats at all.

* I am very disappointed that players who played in the 2015 season last year and were on the game then are missing, and sure they can be added back in updates, but they will be added back being a created version. I just feel like this part was rushed at the end and these players got over looked. Matt Joyce - http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...oycema01.shtml played in 93 games last year for the Angels and should be on as a real player. There are about a few dozen the same example.

Other than these things listed above this game has a lot of potential, I love what Kirby has done with Commentary and PBR is there but not as noticeable as I thought it would be but all in the right direction.

One thing that jumped out immediately to me was how smoother the fielding animations are. There were times in 15 that animations would just take too long or there would be a little bit of a stutter from when the fielder caught the ball to when he began to throw it. I havent really noticed that as much this year. I played 15 almost year round and if I get even half of that time with 16, it will have been a great purchase.

Is it normal for the text on the stat overlays to be... like.. sloppy? or jagged, I guess.

The text doesn't look smooth and clean if that makes sense.

I'm not liking how the batters slide backwards in the batter's box on taken pitches.

***Upon further inspection, that only happened during the install portion of gameplay.***

After playing some more, I noticed this too. Almost everyone seems to have a flat, washed out (almost yellow or grayish depending on the base skin tone) look.

I was actually wondering if either the changes made last year for realistic skin tones/more variety didn't make it this time for some reason or if maybe PBR is screwing with skin, because something is definitely off compared to 15.

I have to play another game of 15 to compare. I might just play that again. I'm really not crazy about 16. I don't like the cartoonish graphics, and something just seems a little off about this.
