Geez Ridiculous...there is this thing called gameplay, what you listed are minor nitpicks and certainly not deserving of a 7.5. People are spoiled. Framerate has been great for me, shrugs.

I love the sports game. Especially MLB The Show. But the changes are minimal for the last 3 games. Improvement is only Diamond Dynasty mode.

I wish we all could feel like the reviewer. Everything is subjective, but too me graphics took a step back. Cant put my finger on it if it is colour, lightning or something else, but they dont pop as much as in 15 and the grass in certain stadiums (Pirates, for example) looks really, really ugly and distracts me (yes me, maybe not you) from the overall experience.

For instance, the base-running thing in the top right is about 5x too big, and the quick counts box, stays on until the pitcher starts the windup, which i'm not sure if that is a bug or not, but it is quite annoying. Again I only play offline so im just going with that, but game modes feel about the same for me, no big improvements, just small things.

Agreed with the baserunners box, way to big

Also, when batting, no option to check the balls that were trown to you anymore. I think you could press left or right on de d-pad in MLB 15. Wonder why they took this out or am I missing something?

I was lucky and received The Show a week early. My initial rating was 9.44, but I tend to rate The Show .5 higher than OS. I love baseball and that may bias my opinion.

Everyone has 'hotspots' when rating a game. Stats, player models, presentation and giving an user a chance to see the entire play are big on my list for future improvements.
