Another thing to try is instead of turning the TV on and off, I just go into the game mode setting, turn it off and then back on and the lag goes away. If I just leave game mode on Without switching it off then back on the lag shows up.

Personally I haven't had any frame rate issues or noticed many big bugs yet. Possibly because I don't play online. I just happen to notice details that occur that I've never seen in a real MLB game in my life. Unless the runner is drunk they always touch 1st base, even if out by a mile. Everybody has their own gripes about the game. Mostly I am loving it.

I'd gladly trade your OCD about a player not touching first base with my framerate issues any day. I don't play online either.

I have to agree. I'm loving the gameplay, and the batter/pitcher match up is great. Also, the baserunning/base stealing game seems to be fixed, but the graphics do seem to have taken a step back. Noah Syndergaard's hair is the scariest thing I've seen in a video game since the first Resident Evil. It actually distracted me so much that I had to pause the game for a moment.

The more I'm playing the more apparent it is the visuals aren't great. Sure it looks good if you took a screenshot but I'm seeing clipping, jaggies, broken animations, framerate issues, floating bats etc. All over the place.

Hair is previous gen, it looks terrible. It's all very dissapointing, we shouldn't be going backwards with this.

That being said the gameplay is much better now I've levelled out the difficulty and got a season going. It's a lot of fun barring the bug, glitch and graphic issues. I'm finding myself fistpumping on strikeouts and telling the ball to get over the fence when I hit it deep.

With hindsight I wish I would've waited until atleast the next patch to buy it but you live you learn.

I hadn't had any of the framerate issues that others had been having until I finished up spring training and started the season at home for the Jays (not 2016 season). I come up to pitch and BAM! massive drop in framerate.

I struggled to pitch in the 1rst inning and was really worried about when I came up to bat. I made it through, messy but unscathed.

Then I came up to bat and BAM! everything was fine. I thought about it for a few seconds and realized that I pitch with fisheye and hit with MLB 15 cameras.

It's the camera guys, the PS4 can only handle so much crowd, and since the dome was packed down goes the framerate. I switched to MLB 16 for pitching since it gives me what I like about fisheye (the ability to glance over and see the runner without holding the button or a window) without as much of a framrate hit. Still not perfect, but I kind of like it (gasp!) because it turns all star pitching into more of an all star+ since it's slightly harder to get the timing right. That is perfect for me.

Meanwhile, didn't notice a single issue while using the MLB 15 camera.

After playing for a few days, my thoughts are: gameplay has taken a step forward, with fewer balls hitting the pitcher, and much better baserunning. Graphically, though, the game seems to have taken a huge hit. Some of the player models are a joke, and hair is PS2 level. Overall, I'm glad I bought the game, but for every improvement, there seems to be one misstep.

Exactly. I can handle something staying the same, but to go backwards at this point is unacceptable.
