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.

'16 is a very solid game, and imo the best version of the Show available.

Glad you're enjoying it.

I agree 100% MLBTS 17 is the prettiest girl but she can't dance. I almost hate to return to 16 because I'll miss the graphics but on the field 17 just doesn't work.

I can't find a decent roster for 16.

Did you try the OSFM rosters?

The ones I tried had the old braves. If there's a 17 file, I couldn't find it

The top one, the 100 rated one is terrible but it's not OSFM

Look alphabetically. You want to look for RidindwnLingly or close to that for the OSFM. Also Sookiebunny does a great Roster. He has one just before 17 released which is a 16 roster but is current as of March of this year.

Wow can't believe how much 17 has improved over 16. From hearing you guys talk about 16 again I reinstalled it and fired it up again. Good game but made may appreciate 17 even more.

Glad '17 is working out for you.

For those who may be interested I downloaded the final live roster update of the season in 2016. I didn't look at every player but I believe it is very close if not identical to the first live roster update for the Show 17 in terms of player attributes. For example Hunter Renfroe's attributes are identical. Obviously generated players are different.

I just uploaded it today to the roster vault as type - current and name - finlivros.

If you prefer the live rosters as I do and are looking to start a franchise in MLBTS 16 this may be helpful.

I have give praise to the SDS development team. While '17 may not have been the game for me this year, it's nice that I can go back to the previous year's version and feel as though I'm not missing a beat in getting my baseball game fix.

I think it speaks volumes to how great this series has been for years.

Kudos SCEA

We are fortunate the Show made it into the ps4 generation unlike NCAA Football which was put out of business one year too soon.

Imo '16 was a great game for the most part but the atrocious cpu base running was hard to accept.
