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

BTW - Frame rate is zero problem in MoM. fantastic look and feel - sparkles on railings are an annoyance but frame rate is fine for us guys! The tiny circles for stamina are a major pain in the butt.

At least the frame rate issues aren't as bad as that glitch a few years ago (12 or 13) where the ball would sometimes freeze just out of the pitcher's hand. Boy was that a heck of a trick pitch.

I'm a bit more cynical about that. I could be wrong but the discussion in that thread didn't warrant it to be locked. If it was going off thread a warning would've got it on track.

Personally I think it's been locked because they have no intention of fixing it...and therefore want discussions swept under the rug.

I absolutely love playing defense this year. I have been able to make more Sportscenter Top 10 plays this year than year's past. Last night I snagged a hot down the 3rd base line with Arrennado who quickly got back up and threw out the runner going to first. I was fist pumping like a madman....LOL

Having a blast. My 2 days off went by real quick playing The Show. Conquest and DD are lost of fun waiting for you know what.

Also, hitting the DD powerball yesterday helps a lot.

For me, the stuttering/frame rate dropping occurs when the ball is in play. The pitching and swinging animations are smooth as always, but once contact is made and the ball travels to wherever its going, that's when I'm having issues. It just looks very choppy. In indoor parks such as Miller Park and the Trop, this really isn't an issue as the gameplay is pretty smooth all around. In outdoor parks its hit or miss really. When I play at Wrigley it is VERY choppy. I played a game in KC and it was pretty smooth. So does it have to do with something about the outdoor parks in the game? I really have no idea. Again, I'm just referring to when the ball is in the field of play after contact is made. The batter standing in the box and the pitcher on the mound, everything up until the point that the batter makes contact is smooth. Cutscenes are an absolute choppy mess but I can live with that, its the gameplay I'm concerned with.

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.

To address this, if I may...couple of things.

1) OS doesn't have a collaboration effort with SCEA on issues to hide things that they cannot address. With due respect, I believe this is an ignorant perspective to have as OS and SCEA work independently of each other. SCEA is a great development team which strives to perfect their game, something they've proven over the years. If they can fix substantial issues like this, they will.

2) The thread in reference was locked because people were no longer talking about the game but starting to troll and throw flames at each other. We're not going to allow threads like that to remain open if users cannot be constructive.

3) Several threads about bugs/issues are locked because SCEA requests any bugs/issues be reported on their Show Nation website (see sticky thread by Ramone).

If there are any follow-ups, please send me or any of the other mods here a PM and we'd be happy to discuss it further so we can keep this thread about impressions of the game.

My first impression is that I was hoodwinked. When your auto-baserunners freeze or go running off on pop ups then get called out off base, the game is broken. Lots of other stuff broken or missing too. I'll remember this **** next year. I've boycotted Madden since 2008, I can do the same for this game.
