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

[Houston]

Batters who have stances that go out of the batter box slowly slide back into the box looking like there GLIDING.

Check swings will definitely get a lot of attention this dev cycle.

Okay so I have decided to stop playing for a couple of days and give the devs a chance to iron out the bugs, most notably the frame rate. It's just getting to the point where it's getting in the way and making the game not fun. I will check out franchise and maybe some more conquest but as far as the actual gameplay, I'll wait for some fixes.

Can framerate issues successfully be patched?

As it stands, both pitching and hitting has terrible framerate issues, and practically unplayable. And I am never one to complain about framerate. Looking at strike three down the plate due to framerate. Ball pitch to undesirable location due to frame rate stutter. Bought the digital version, so I guess I'm out of luck on any type of refund?

I also have the digital version and for me it's smoothas butter. Hitting, pitching, fielding.....no problems whatsoever.


There is stutter / judder though. But it's mostly on replays. To be hones on replays it's pretty bad. Every time the MLB the show 16 logo comes swiping in it's terrible. Sad really cause i love watching the highlight reel after a game. This year the stutter is so annoying that i stopped doing that.


Commentary is better but still miles away from what 2k had.


For the rest i simply love this game. As said it's very smooth indeed.
Defense is much tighter this year. Diving plays have more of a snap to them (if that is the right word).
Infielders have more urgency to them now (if you preload the throw).
Absolutely love the new animations.
Noticed the colors popping less as some have said, but i simply adjusted the settings on my tv and problem solved.


Very happy with the game, will easily keep me busy until 17 comes along.
Next project : sounds of the show!

But since you're also experiencing it during certain sequences, I wouldn't call that "smoothas butta" anymore. If it's smooth as butter, it probably shouldn't happen. Otherwise, somethings causing it to occur.

I understand people having a different experience would also choose to voice their experience, but hopefully that doesn't discount another person's real experience as well. Because what I'm experiencing, whatever the term is, "frame rate, stutter, judder, or whatever" is in fact happening.

Are you using pulse pitching or meter pitching? I didn't notice it until I switched to pulse pitching, then meter pitching also started to act up.

The pitcher's throwing motion goes into a slow motion, stutter, judder, frame skipping, frame rate issue thing. The same goes with the batter.

Basically, the stutter/judder/framerate or whatever it's called is actually affecting the gameplay (pitching and hitting).

Fair enough, i guess smooth as butter is not correct then.
What i tried to express is that it's very very smooth during gameplay for me. It's just the replays / cutscene's that are really bad.


I play with classis pitching, so no meter/pulse/timing thing. Just a press of the button.
Perhaps that's the reason i have no problems with it.


I heard people having problems/stutter during hitting and fielding but i simply do not have that.


I'm not saying that because i don't have it it's not there. I have ready the thread about the stutter and seems a lot of people have it. I'm hoping that it gets solved for the people who suffer from it.
Sofar i believe SDS have not reacted to it (?)
Let's see what the next patch brings.

Sure it doesn't help every year mods lock every framerate/stutter thread. Like we are here only to bash The Show and not to help devs to make a better game. With this attitude, probably devs don't think framerate is a big issue just becasue people stop to complain about it after every thread get locked.
