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

[Chisoxfan14]

Unplayable due to massive auto baserunning glitch (basically it doesn't work). That's my first impressions. Hit trajectories seemed more realistic if you want a good thing. When they patch base running I will play it game.

For everyone saying the graphics look dull, have you tried playing with the picture settings on your tv. Maybe try changing color temperature from cold to warm?

Ok thought this was just me, I actually thought my controller was misfunctioning

It may be just me but I see 9-10 different Ramones' in each game, kind of odd because he's so recognizable, he kind of sticks out.

I use the same exact settings on MLB 16 nothing changed and players looked dull washed out the skin flesh is not there. I pop in MLB 15 and you can see the detailed skin tones on that game with same exact settings so it is not everyone's TV settings.

I think the gameplay itself is very smooth, quite a few upgrades in that department. I have not experienced any of the lag issues some of the others have.
The equipment upgrades are nice as well.

The graphics are definitely lacking as far as the grass and the jerseys are concerned. The helmets look great and the shoes have good color but the jerseys look like they are flat as far as color goes. Almost like they have an overlay on them. The black jersey of the Pirates are lacking as well and their helmets at night almost take on a gray/silver appearance.

No doubt there is a lot of wasted screen when it comes to viewing stats, the font size could definitely be increased somewhat for easier viewing. The lack of stats when your batter comes to the plate is disappointing as well.

There are a few of the normal glitches as well. Busch stadium is showing 336' for the center field dimension. That float thing in center field at Marlins park does not light up when a Marlin hits a home run.

With all of that being said, there is a definite fun factor with the game play.

The Pirates black uniforms have not reflected the right color for years now. It gives off a grey sheen and it is not a true black like what you see in person, or even on TV.

The P on the uniform is not big enough, either.

I hope the devs read this and make a note in their notebook for next year.

On the schedule screen - move the SIM SEASON link to the very bottom. To many times (and once last year) I have come REALLY close to SIMing the whole year and then it auto saves and I'm screwed.

And below! Simple fix (??) Copy the IN-Game STATS to the SEASON Stats - BINGO. No need to have two totally different screens - Problem and complaints solved.

OH - NO Home Run Distance on a Walk off Home Run :-(
