Your opinion may be that the game is moving towards arcade.
That can never be incorrect.(your opinion)
But your assumption that it is....can absolutely be incorrect. The basis for it.

I never said anyone's opinion was wrong.
But nice try.

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. Just my .02

The lack of realism issue is more a presentation issue, then a gameplay one. Especially if you are talking about RTTS.

There have been so many cuts and removals over the last couple years, the actual experience of coming up to bat, the actual at-bat itself, and the in-between are basically a pure arcade experience at this point.

Hopefully with the introduction of Hybrid and Quckplay, they can restore Broadcast to how it was.

In terms of gameplay, I am seeing a lot of homeruns, and not a lot of singles, but I need to play quite a bit more to see how that plays out.

I played on broadcast today and it didn't show any batter walk ups but the first one every inning.

I switched to hybrid and it has walk ups. Switched back to broadcast and walk ups were back.

I think something is screwing up the two options which might be why guys are seeing different things than the developers intended.

Just finished my first game of MLB The Show 16.

Threw a PERFECT GAME versus the Diamondbacks with Noah Syndergaard. 14 K's. Won 3-0.

(Never thrown a no-hitter in any baseball game.)

Best. Game. Ever.

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME !? It seems the camera angles have changed during the flight of the ball DURING FIELDING. I remember in 15 you could actually view the ball in the air as its coming you direction. Now if someone hits a HR and I go to the wall I can't look up to find the ball. Do I have to change a camera or am I not pressing a correct button? Please help me.!? Overall I give the game a 9.3 and that's only based on having no loading screens and the fast pace play.

I can easily get on board with that. Go back and play MLB 11 (still a great game after all these years) and experience broadcast presentation....or if you really want to see another way...real time presentation.

The pace, the walkups, the foul balls, all the fidgeting by batters after each pitch. yes I know MLB is trying to speed up the game...but it still has it's nuances. Those have been slowly removed over the last 3 years.

I still love the game. But I totally can get on board with the presentation being cut too much.

It has gone a little over board IMO. I want that full robust baseball game experience we used to have on 11....hell even 12 still had most of the elements.

Great point.

As far as too many HR's....I would say keep playing. I am seeing all kinds of great games and hit variety has never been better. They nailed it this year. It's been an evolving feature (ball physics) that I have noticed each and every version get better and better.

I watch baseball everyday, multiple games (flipping back and forth with MLB Extra Innings like most of you I am sure) and the amount of monster HR's has increased two fold, the amount of errors I see on a nightly basis thus far has been astounding (George Springer had a doozy of an error...he looked like a little league rec ball player that's how bad it was which led to a 5 run inning with 2 outs)...so all kinds of things happen in games.

Real time presentation was awesome!! They will never bring it back but man, it was just perfect for me. Talk about immersion...off the hook.

I don't know if it's really a bug, but I like to play with Quick Counts on and the Pitch Type screen off. I use my catchers finger signs to determine which pitch to throw.

The problem is that the Quick Counts notification that displays during the first pitch of every at bat blocks the catchers fingers for about 5 seconds. It's not a huge deal at all, but kind of annoying.
