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

I haven't played a lot yet but the base runners seem to slow to a crawl when rounding every base. I realize many do have to slow down to make a 90 degree turn but it's ridiculous. Maybe I have my settings wrong as others have suggested?

My goodness, the lighting in this game is amazing. The parks look so good, too. I am blown away by the visuals. I about crapped my pants when I played my first game at Dodger Stadium and they cut to the shot of the beach in the 3rd. The shot of Pike Place in my next game at SEA was also amazing. It's a small touch, but it adds so much immersion to be reminded about what's distinctive about where your team happens to be playing a given game.

I'm coming over from 14. Game is amazing. Progressive Field looks great. Glad they added in the renovations from last season.

Glad I can finally turn off pitch display when at bat. Wish "view pitches R2' didn't still pop up before every pitch after turning off guess pitch. I like as little on screen as possible.

I like how it automatically increases difficulty based on performance.

One thing that's bugged me for years in this game, and I notice it a lot at progressive field, is the outfield railings in right center look like they're flickering when the camera is moving. Is this a frame rate issue? Do other people notice this? I see it in other parks too in different areas. It's very distracting.

The ability to play an entire series before having to go back to the menu in RttS is one of my favorite new features. I played two weeks worth of games in about 30 mins.

Sadly my biggest complaints are the ones they can't fix this year and being in the IT industry for 30 years I know it's a common problem. Programmers do not understand how to interact with the user interface.

They are TRULY GREAT at ball park dynamics - seriously outstanding but the tiny little circles for energy when making line-ups and pitching decisions and the round graphics for attributes look pretty but in reality but are totally useless.

The new statistics screens are pretty much a joke and I wonder if anybody actually looked at those screens and the tiny fonts - again, having someone OUTSIDE of their inner circle would have seen all the mistakes and weird order and useless stats taking up room. it's like a dummies down version of last year.

HOWEVER - somethings are GREAT during the game. Seeing what the batters have done in the last 10 games is fantastic. HR distance on every HR is SUPER. I have no frame rate problems and it looks outstanding.

To me it was like two teams worked on this Show. The good team on the GAME and the bad team on the GUI who did not consult with people that actually played the game.

Looking forward to The Show 17 as this one only got it half right.

I agree night games really shine but day games, to me at least, look like a step back. MLB 15 finally some lush green grass. MLB 16 bland again. Is it just me or was 15 too much and is 16 more to real life? Maybe I should hang with Blzer

I think it has to do with the time of year you play. Does the grass get greener as it gets closer to summer? I know that's how the ivy works.

If you go into mode specific settings in season mode. You will see you have lineups set to auto. Change it to manual.

This may already be in here, but has anyone figured out how to steal 2nd with runners on the corners? Last year it was the left joystick and L2 and that doesnt seem to work this year.
