That's happened a lot. The best one though is when I come up down by two runs in the ninth and they say something like "it's getting late, they really need at least a run this inning."

I dusted off the 'ol 360, and played some MLB 2K11. Boy, you want to talk about fantastic announcers! I also dusted off my Gamecube, and played some MVP 05. Tell you one thing, after playing MVP and then The Show 16, you really start to see just how sloppy The Show is this year.

The kicker is how they said in the developer streams how much better the announcers were going to be this year. Liars!

I still can't believe they haven't addressed the Ivy in Wrigley yet. Not a major problem but it was fine in years past.

The lighting in this game is second to none, not only with the proper sun and shadows, but even the hue. I noticed this as I was playing Game 5 of the 1989 NLCS as I had the actual game on Youtube on the computer. The lighting hue even changes depending on if you're playing in June, or if you're playing in October.

It's why I get so aggravated when the game has all these issues. It wasn't like MLB 2K6 where the game was just terrible, so it was easy to just stop playing. The Show 16 has so much going for it, making the bugs that much more frustrating.

Just bought the game today & I've only played the start up game. I was Kansas City & believe it or not I threw a no hitter with Edison Volquez first thing. Lol I'll be honest it was on beginners but I was just trying it out cause of the new batting angle etc.. It would've been perfect but a batter reached on an error.. Great way to start a game & purchase. Lol

Bump thread time!

I thought that for those of us that are still playing '16 for one reason or another, I would revive the impressions thread. We could discuss, ask questions, or share our experience.

Anyways, if you are still playing '16 and would like to talk about it, well here you go.


Currently in mid-April of my franchise and finishing up a four game series with the Cubs in Wrigley. The first two games have been crazy...

I won the first game of the series 7-3 in 10 innings. Scored the go ahead/game winning run on a ball hit back up the middle that hit the pitching rubber and skied into the air. Sierra who was on 2nd, and who is fast, was able to come around and score. Randall Grichuk then followed that up later with a 3 run homer that put the margin to 4 runs.

You stopped playing Mlb 17? I kind of wish I didn't sell my copy of 16, only rented 17 during the first week and returned it not sure if I want buy this years version.

I had forgotten I had 16 in last and I just cut it back on to get todays live roster update. I knew something was amiss when I didnt hear ''Its time for Dodger baseball" but couldnt put my finger on it til I startted looking at the the update. Also I'm still impressed with how much better 16's opening is compared to 15. ughpuigh lol

Yes. Actually gave it to a friend. I prefer '16.

'16 is fairly cheap right now. If you have GCU at Best Buy I think you can get it like $12.
