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

[Stolm]

Played my first Exhibition game, and man the frame rate drop is more severe then I thought. Going into replay mode is jarring, in how bad it is. It isn't even making 30fps.


Noticing tons and tons of hitching on strikeouts as well.

[The JareBear]

Man they really hit a home run this year.

Bravo.

I can put Spotify on in the background and just play for hours and hours

I also saw Ramone in the crowd at Dodger stadium.

Just got done with a game at Wrigley. Again, Eric Carrots told me about Calhouns GG. I've only heard him talk about him or Trout.
When asked about Cubs lineup, he said Heyward is the key to their offense and when he gets going, everyone else plays better(something to that affect) It mentioned nothing about him being the top FA in the offseason.
Simmons walked through Gentry and I have noticed some other clipping issues.
A Manager tips icon appeared in the top right of the screen advising me about the situation at hand. That's new to me. Pretty cool.
Computer starting pitchers are still taken out too early but that's nothing the sliders shouldn't fix.
The frame rate had issues.
I still have no swing/pitch info. I feel like the game is pulling a cruel joke on me LOL.
Lyons again said better hitter on deck with Trout up. I can live with some of the issues I've found with this game but this one is sacrilegious. I have a major bone to pick with Steve Lyons. I really hope this can be patched somehow.
I have hit 2 "fence scraper" home runs. New to me.
Crowd was chanting throw it back after I hit a home run but they didn't. I was bummed.
Cool cutscene of downtown Chicago. Still no take me out to the ball game. I wish they didn't just cut it. I am sure different teams have things they do during the song. For instance, at Angels stadium, the Angels girls come out and shoot T-Shirts at you and the ushers throw peanuts in the crowd.
I've noticed different catching animations with OF.

Lined into one on a hit and run :-(. Nearly got the CPU but I was a bit late with my throw to first.

In the past, I could still manually take my own leads and steal. This year, I can still do that BUT it then appears to switch to manual baserunning. What this means is that if I manually call for a runner to steal and I execute a hit-and-run I now have to tell the runners whether to advance or hold if I get a hit. It may seem small but to someone who enjoys Auto Baserunning, it makes me choose between becoming a (full or part-time) Manual Baserunning guy or never getting involved in base stealing decisions. I need to test it some more to be 100% sure that this is what is happening but if I'm wrong then the CPU is doing a terrible job of advancing runners which is another problem (and if it's not fixed I'm back to being forced to use Manual Baserunning). Other than that, I'm loving the game and I'm looking forward to things being fleshed out further with patches (mostly to carry over my Franchise that I started on 14).

Unfortunately, I've found this to be untrue.

Not that there isn't a hit-and-run issue but so much as extending a baserunner's lead will cause you to go to Manual Baserunning.

I am not sure what they are trying to emulate by delaying the camera in L2 but it makes it feel like it is not functioning properly more than anything.

I have. Once.

Of course, I lined the ball right at the first baseman who was covering and was able to tag the runner before he could dive back.

Side note, tonight I tried a sacrifice bunt in Baltimore with Jose Altuve and it went up the first base line. Chris Davis fielded the ball and applied a tag to Altuve so I was surprised when everyone was ruled safe.

I looked at the replay and Davis did indeed tag Altuve. The problem was that he tagged him with an empty hand. He left the ball in his glove. After applying the empty tag, he still would have had time to throw Altuve out but he didn't.

Anyone else seen this?

Just played a little of DD Conquest mode. I am still not 100% sure how it functions but I had fun playing 3 inning games and choosing the difficulty based on how many fans I would get. I see myself probably playing this a lot. I also want to try to get in RTTS. I seem to always get so caught up in my franchise every year that I barely play any other modes.
