But there were a lot of things that I felt were a huge letdown, and it has me questioning if I was right to fork over sixty bucks for this game.

First line totally agree with, I keep going back to 15, 16 seems a bit off in certain areas, the game play is about the same, in all honesty these games just don't seem done on release, too many bugs and too many patches, I guess I'll just wait a few months before buying any sports games.

Only played one game I rented it from redbox. I skipped 15 because I just always was bored playing 14. I was forcing my self to play it but wasn't having fun. But from what I got from that one game is its fun to play. I feel like when I'm hitting I have full control where my hits will go.

Unfortunately, no doubters seem to happen over half the time. IMO that kills the suspense if done too frequently. I've noticed that as well. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with my dad about the early offensive explosion and higher scoring. It's still way early, but it appears the hitters have the upper hand. I wouldn't put it on the steroid era level yet, but it's definitely a faster start than previous years. Agreed. I loved playing High Heat Baseball because at its time, was perhaps the most realistic baseball game, even though the graphics were nowhere close to being the best among its competitors. These day, it feels as if flash and faster paced arcade style takes higher priority. I suppose that's what the majority want and I'm aware most of us here in OS are in the minority.

Loved High Heat.......I am getting plenty of pitchers duals, high scoring, low scoring games....the variety has been as good as ever. So not seeing this so called arcadish crap happening with The Show.

No sir.

I'm really enjoying the game this year, the hitting is great. Nice to see franchise get some love. Classic parks for free!! Thank you.

I know this is the new normal now but come on, this play the game for a month to find all of bugs and glitches before you can feel comfortable to start a franchise is awful. We should not be paying for the privilege to bug test your product. Spelling errors in menus/guides that should be embarrassing.. And with the game released a month later, by the time OSFM is done and all of the patches its May something and trying to catch the calendar is impossible.

The game is great, and I understand how hard you guys work. The community involvement from you guys is amazing and appreciated and is one of many reasons I buy this game every year no matter what. So Thank you.

They absolutely did. But they also took alot of ideas from this game.
Such as the menu's, the show live games and gesture pitching.

It's not about variety, but balance. In this The Show edition, you get more contact on the ball and more hard shots in the outfield. So to balance it you have overpowered OF defense with insane speed and flying ability ( seven diving catches in my last game, all by CPU ). As usual, it's Fun Vs Realism.

If you adjust your sliders.....you can get the balance your looking for.

Not guaranteed, not the game i want to play ( The Slider Game ), not my work and honestly, while you and other modders deserve a lot of respect for all your hard work, it's a bit OT here to talk about sliders. We're trying to make a point on how we feel about The Show, if your answer is "play with sliders", well, that's the end of the road.
