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

[Powerplay17]

What's with the Rays traditional catching color defaulting to the light blue with no way to change it??

Well I am not going to rant and rave, but I'm kinda disappointed. Not in the game itself, but the year-to-year save feature. I was looking forward using my roster, my salary edits, my equipment edits. I have to redo all that stuff again if I want to go down this road. Plus the create players like Matt Wisler & RP McKirahan. Last names aren't in the name database.....

So I have a decision to make. Start over from scratch with a brand new franchise. Were those player's are in the game this year and Last name are being announced.

SDS probably want to look at scrapping this features, because veteran player's like myself who enjoys the game & its editing feature. Might stop purchasing the product and just be fine with this year copy for a year or three.

Ok now that I've settled into a setting and slider set that works for me I've got a few more quick impressions.

I know it seems a strange thing to point out but have you guys seen the cloud variety? Looks like my favourite weather, partly cloudy, got even sexier.

Took a while to finagle but I'm LOVING directional hitting now. Having a ton of fun in spring training learning to nuances of it.

I've mentioned the fielding before but OMG it's frackin awesome this year. Seen a ton of awesome animations, and the fielders have stopped doing that dead stop they sometimes do when you input a throw they weren't expecting.

Fantastic animations all around this year I only have one complaint: Check swings. Some are good but others are straight up warping. It's like I'm having a mini stroke.

Saw something so rare for me in the past playing the show today. A player game up to the plate and the statline showed he was 0 for 1 with 2 walks. A tear came to my eye. Hit/Strikeout/walk ratio is MUCH improved, especially for my play level. I've already made a pitcher throw 50 pitches in 2 innings of work! That's was a unicorn occurrence in 15 (it never happened).

Amazing, amazing game. Will be posting my sliders tomorrow for all of you who used to be zone center swingers like me and are having a hard time adapting to the new precision engine setup.

So because you don't like how it's implemented they should get rid of it despite others than do use it? How does that make sense?

@BKrich83, It makes sense to me and that is all that matters. As a consumer. They get rid things all the time depending on who's using it. I am hoping for the best solution. That's all.

I doubt SCEA makes too many add/subtract decision without consulting the telemetry they get from users.
