MLB The Show 16 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Here Are The Details

[docdaddy]

I will say this, reading through all the comments on the patch: This is still an amazing game. The sheer amount of content in terms of playing options is pretty incredible.

For example: I pretty much play MLB The Show as a career simulator, almost always playing a young pitcher in RTTS mode, entering the draft and just allowing the game to decide who picks me up and trying to see what kind of career my player has. It is basically a pretty amazing MLB Role Playing Game for me. I've had players who blew through the minors and ended up having Hall of Fame type careers, I've had some players who struggled in the minors and had pretty average careers, being traded, demoted, etc. I try to keep track of some of my teammates in the minors to see where they end up. This is my almost exclusive style of play and has been for the 3 different versions of MLB The Show I've played, and it gives me this experience in such a great way that that alone is worth my price of admission.

I'm not dismissing the dismay many here may have at various things being broken, just saying to keep it in perspective, what they are delivering is pretty unmatched.

I haven't had any problems with anything in this game this whole year really. I can't really recall noticing any bugs or anything, and i've played a lot online, way more than offline. Aside from the random hangup and disconnect online, i haven't had any problems. As mentioned by a few here, this game is definitely the best iteration of the Show, great improvements have been made this year. I recently starting playing offline (rtts), and haven't had any problems until this....

Maybe I'm not looking closely enough, but it's business as usual in my offline franchise.

My rtts player just freezes in a weird position after taking a pitch in an at bat, it's very off-putting.

Another bug i noticed in RTTS is even though i have my presentation set to broadcast, it repeatedly keeps skipping all presentations as if i had it set to quick play. This especially bothers me because i spent so much time on SOTS setting up my music to play and i can't even hear it because broadcast presentation isn't working properly

Is anyone else noticing that broadcast presentation is skipping presentations as if it were on quick play?

If you think it is as easy to look at 2 completely different players and remember the exact or even close size of their wedges then you my friend are just a fanboy. I have been a member of this site since 2003 and have purchased every single iteration of The Show since then. I love this game obviously but when something does not make sense or makes it worse IMO, I will say so. The Radial Wheel and Energy Circle are 2 such things. They spent time and effort to fix something that was not broken and even went back in to fix the Energy Circle, thus more time. I respect your opinion even though I very much disagree with you even thinking this is not an issue for a lot of people. The Show continues to improve in Graphics and Gameplay along with that come hiccups...I do understand. I am just trying to keep them from getting the hiccups unnecessarily...lol.

I prefer the radial graphs, i like that it gives a quick snapshot basically of a players skills, instead of having to scroll through the numbers in linear fashion. It's easy and quick to see a players strengths and weaknesses by looking at the graph, and makes moulding a team, and making decisions more efficient imo, especially when doing a battle royale draft.

I believe the initial feature request was mine. Yes, you can turn them off in the settings, so that it's the same as it was before.

There is some good info to be had from the Yells though , like steal alerts, throwing decisions, base coach instructions, as well as the number of outs or strikes. That way, you don't even have to look at the scorebug.

This is not a complaint, just wondering if anyone else is having more difficulty hitting since this patch? I'm late on everything now. Just wondering if it's me or if something was tweaked reference pitch speed or the timing window.

Hitting for me hasn't changed. It all, hitting, pitch speed, timing window, seem to be the same as it was pre patch.

I wonder if that's where those RP starts are coming from and perhaps some of those RP starts are also game time coaching decisions. For the most part I've been seeing that a SP that lands on the DL gets a SP from the minors called up to replace him. In the past...it would almost ALWAYS be that RP. I've been simming one week....checking the DL...and then checking the rotations....rather than looking at the season totals. Still a lot more to look at on this. M.K. Knight165

I wanted to touch on this again. I use single team control.

The Pirates had Gerrit Cole get injured, but he was only out for 1-6 days. They used Ryan Vogelsong (long relief pitcher) in his place for his start.

So in my experience, this seems to be all over the board when it comes to replacing an injured starter who isn't placed on the DL.

[Armor and Sword]

I don't find using the long reliever for a spot start odd at all. If Cole goes on the DL then I would hope to see another SP called up to either replace Cole or become the new long reliever in place of the one who now fills in the rotation during the starters DL stint.
