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

[CMH]

I'm perplexed and hoping maybe someone knows the answer.

Why do we have the option for Daily Rosters in Play Now when the rosters aren't updated?

For example, I found a starter (with starter stats since Play Now / Daily Rosters now tracks stats during the MLB season) that was in a team's bullpen and not listed as a starter.

So this stater that just threw several innings the day before was now available as a bullpen arm. That defeats the purpose of playing this mode.

I've also seen lineups being shown incorrectly. If we are using Daily Rosters, why aren't the lineups the same as the game we are playing? I can understand playing a game that has not taken place, but if I play yesterday's game, the lineup should mimic the actual lineup card unless I specifically make changes.

Seems Play Now Gamers are ignored here. Or am I missing something?

I have seen Matt Moore and Chris Archer in the bullpen at the same time using daily rosters....

I haven't been able to play DD for 3 days now. It finds an opponent and then the Challenge Failed error appears every single time.

No other game I play online is having any issues.

I really miss the old Play Now mode. In MLB 15 was great, never had a problem, lineups were correct and there was even the complete box score. Now you have only the final score, daily roster doesn't work and sometimes, it depends on result, you can't even know who is the starting pitcher.
This was Play Now in MLB 15:

I've got to say with the apparent drive away from realism, at least according to some forum posters, and the lack of any improvement in the actual color of grass and some field textures I sure hope 17 is still on the right track.

Well....you're assuming that those posters are correct in their assumptions.
They are not.
So....grain or pound of salt.
You're gonna have to take it.

Opinions are wrong eh?

Personally, I don't get the impression that the game has gotten away from realism. The game is as realistic as its ever been, if not more with some of the new animations, the new hitting concept, and the changes to franchise mode. I'm not sure what exactly it is about the gameplay that has people believing that its taken a step back from realism.

And if the one of the biggest complaints is the grass, well then I would have to think that SCEA did a pretty bang up job on the game for this year.
