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

[econoodle]

couple spring training fast play games and more thoughts:

+ i like the pitcher osd showing avg vs. lefties and righties when he enters a game.

+ i like the fish eye view because of the full view of the stadium, but the warped look to the batter, not so much. Still a fun view. Might stick with modified offset.

- did they get rid of the dynamic difficulty speed setting? where you could set how fast you move up a level>?

more to come

Purchased the MVP Edition:

Pros:
Gameplay is crisp.
Sounds are crisp.
Lighting is crisp.
Alot of new animations.
Presentation is above average.

Cons:
Graphics look weak for a PS4 system.
There is a gang of bugs throughout the game.

Bottom Line: Is the game still worth a purchase?......YES!

First impressions, the game is stunning. The color palat is fantastic. The added bass to the commentary is noticeable and gives it more depth of sound.

The new way to edit players is a vast improvement. I could lost in editing players for days.

Lastly, I've only played part of a play now and I noticed only slight stuttering on transition screens. However, I've noticed significant lag between menu screens.

Overall, I'm pleased. The devs will need to address the menu screen lag though.

- Just played my first game, Bucs vs. Dads.

- Liking the ball off the bat. Feels like the ball goes where it's supposed to based upon pitch location and swing.

- Transition to night looks good now; no longer looks like you're playing on Mars or in some sort of Terminatoresque day of reckoning.

- I like fisheye; I feel like I'm seeing the ball well.

- Breaking pitches seem more realistic and less exaggerated. Appreciated.

- Lots of new gear additions; the licensed catching gear is a huge addition.

- J-Hey hit one back up the middle in the area of Tyson Ross's head. Ross ducked down smoothly and the ball went into center field like it should have for a base hit. Noice.

- Ripped one down the third base line with Cervelli. Ball went all the way to the wall. Cervelli in at second. Lot of people have been asking for that.

- Only negative is I hit into a double play where the second basemen takes the catch and just "one-timer" whips it to first. I was hoping the fielding would be a little more down-to-earth but I can live with that.

same. i liked getting some confidence going with certain pitches.
wonder why so many of the little [some important] things were taken out this year?

all in all having fun.

- I really dislike the player attributes circular graphs for the player ratings. Just give me numbers, please. Or a choice.

I see no reason for these - everything is pretty but in reality harder to use.

It seems they have taken out the ability to see the opposing teams bench during the game. It's hard to play match-ups if you don't know who is available on the other teams bench.
