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

[decga]

Guys & gals I am here tell ya! This Show right here is so fluid and smooth graphically & game-play wise. The good thing to me it plays like previous versions. The sliders I use thanks to "Amour Sword & Marino & Psycho Bulk." Plays well with this years game. The sound of the bat making contact with the ball, the sounds of the show, even the commentary is on point.

I have not started my franchise as of yet. I am awaiting for the rosters we love, so well! When I do start, not wasting time with spring training. I jumping right into the regular season.

Hell this Show right here might carry me for two years. Although I am hook on branded equipment and new stadiums. I.E. the new Suntrust might behoove me to purchase 17'. Thanks SDS for the patches. Hopefully we one or two more coming.

Both Play by Play, and Game Watch, need to be toggleable options under presentation.

Tell me about it I am the guy who pressed the "O" button for 18 innings to watch the game play out. It was painful!

I also posted a All Pitches Hack in this thread it worked with the 1.02 patch not sure about 1.03

There are some definite commentary errors that I don't remember from previous versions.

For example, Matt will say a guy is 2 for 2 when he is actually 2 for 4. Also, he'll say a guy walked his first time up when he walked his last time up (for example, a guy had a single, then a groundout, then a walk).

Little Things but a nuisance, nonetheless.

If I see the pitcher hit one more time...seriously, this cannot continue.

I think there needs to be more of an effect of the spin of the ball on line drives. It doesn't always happen, but it's pretty often that when a righty hits one into the gap, it will be more at the center fielder and then tail away and land in the gap. I don't see that very much at all. Also, that would help balls up the middle hitting the pitcher, because I've seen it a hundred times, players will rifle one up the middle but it will kinda tail around the pitcher because of how the ball was struck. Righties do this a lot. I've yet to see a ball that hooks toward the line, which is a pretty darn common hit.

Overall, hit variation has been pretty bad. I'll fix it with sliders, but it's just a ton of hard hit balls right at guys. Very few grounder base hits, and zero seeing eye singles save for the occasional DD game on Rookie. I've seen very few flares, it's good to see some, but there probably should be more.

Animations are hit or miss. Pitching motions need to be redone. A large number of reliever motions look like they were made 10 years ago. Weird arm angles and release points. The fielding animations are actually better, one or two aren't great, but hey. Hitting, there's this weird take thing (that I'm sure has been documented) where the player will snap from an open stance to his foot inward. It's weird.

One more thing, has anyone else had any screen tearing? Because at the Rogers Centre the other day I was playing some DD, and Gregory Polanco is on the team. He was waggling the bat, and I looked up about 150 or so pixels from the top, and the top of the bat (that was over that 150 pixel line) was about a half a barrel's width behind the rest of the bat and Polanco. After that, I noticed it was happening elsewhere too.

I really hate how when I take an extra lead off of 2nd and then push R1 like a madman when I see the second baseman going to cover knowing the pitcher is trying to pick me off but my guy doesn't move.

I am not playing DD (I despise the card game modes for sports games), however for me hit variety has been a strength of this version.

Yeah hit variety is pretty great. Guys say it's improved every year (which I suppose has always been marginally true), but this year it's really, truly better. Best it's been, without question.
