I started a thread for people to post what uniform selection to use in MLB the Show to replicate the missing spring training uniforms.

anyone happen to know if they fixed the issue where your players dont move if you have auto base running on? For example, say you have 2 guys on base, the batter hits a single but those 2 runners just stand there unless you manually move them your self.

Sliders are a big part of this game, more than any other sports franchise I play. It probably has a lot to do with the fact baseball is my favorite sport so I notice when things are not "real" compared to when I play lets say, soccer...my least favorite sport IRL.
That's why we're all different. Through The Show '15 I always had hitting on rookie because hitting was difficulty for me. Even on rookie I wouldn't smash the ball but it made me feel I was still useful and having fun.

Something clicked on '16 and my hitting difficulty was quite high and I did well. I did have some eye surgery which I suspect helped. So real is subjective. My point being where it might be easy for some might be perfect or even difficult for others. We all have different eyes. My eyes at 51 aren't the same as when I was 21.

VR would probably be so uncomfortable to your vestibular system, the movement would more than likely would induce motion sickness.

VR support should only be in a mode like "Manage Mode" you can be in the stadium watching calling your strategy would be great to experience videogame baseball.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Changes, No PlayStation VR Support This Year

I wanted to tie this into the correct thread. Seeing more of the game during the Twitch stream, I love the new ball physics, but air and ground physics still leave a lot to be desired. I have to do some empirical timing in real life scenarios, but the ball gets to the outfielders too quickly. Maybe it's the positioning of the outfielders and their speed just the same, but the "spacing" between infielders and outfielders simply isn't there.

Someone else mentioned once that fixing one things changes a bunch of others, which is true... but in this case, I feel a lot of things are changed to fix a one thing at a time too. The grass has to cushion the ball's bounces a bit more. I think I saw a ground rule double at Progressive Field that bounced off the grass, which goes to show it's bouncing too high on that. Lower the bouncing, that will help reduce the speed. I feel that's step one.

Just a long way to go there, even though the ball physics themselves (regarding spin) are going to be much better this time around. Maybe reducing the Solid Hits slider will be the start for this particular iteration of the game.
