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

[Chef Matt]

I went to a two year cycle since '13 and was pretty happy with that decision. The initial "shock-that-I-don't-have-the-new-mlb-the-show-game" was the hardest part of the decision but I was able to get over it and enjoyed '15 for the last years. Now I'm loving '17 and will probably stick with it until '19. I've heard a lot of bad press on the online part, but man I haven't had too many bad experiences with respect to gameplay. It really plays a fun game online and that was never even my first game mode to play but it has me hooked.

I been doing the same since '10 (except '14 & '15. I bought both). 18 would have to blow me away with Franchise improvements to purchase

Played a game last night against the Reds. Amir Garrett had given up 4 runs in the first 4 innings and was trailing 4-0. He had thrown 70 something pitches after the 4th. He stayed in the game to throw 5 1/3 innings and get to 98 pitches.

So satisfying.

I'm firmly committed to playing '16 for this year and will wait to see what '18 has to offer next March. I recommend that anyone who may not be finding as much enjoyment in '17 as they did in '16, to consider making the switch back. While there are definitely things that '17 does that '16 cannot do, '16 plays a solid game of baseball that can carry you through until '18 hits the shelves next March.

I guess I'm still enough of an optimist to think they might fix '17 in an upcoming patch so I'm in limbo. I just like to see an announcement from the devs on what they plan to fix. If I knew they weren't going to fix '17 I'd return to '16 and not look back.

I think I'll just quit until the next patch.

Why not play '16 for now and if they fix the issues you have with '17, just carryover your franchise save from '16 to '17?

I might do that. Have they removed the bugs from carry over saves? I probably wouldn't get quirks but that's no big loss.

From '16 to '17?

When I carried over my franchise when '17 first came out I didn't notice any bugs. And my player's were assigned quirks.

I had skipped '16. I planned to buy '17 immediately after hearing Junior was the cover man.

I bought '17 on release day... 2 days later, I bought '16. I'm enjoying the h@ll out of it right now. Wish I had picked it up last year, in hindsight.

I think visually '17 is cleaner and smoother, but it will be collecting dust until SDS gets their business taken care of.
