Just hearing the pre-game music Broadcast of "Meet The Mets" in Sounds of the Show has me giggling like a school girl.....Man, did I miss that.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet or not, but my only issue thus far is the load times. I mean load times between modes, and even load time when pulling up player cards in Diamond dynasty. It took me at least 30 minutes to select my players from my cards in DD. It loaded for a lot longer than it shouldoes when doing something simplelse like putting a new player on the team, switching between positions or viewing the player cards. Other than this, I love the improved game play and started my RTTS player. Just hope the loading gets a bit faster with time.

There's two ways around this. You can change the settings under RTTS gameplay and set baserunning opportunities to All instead of the default action pitch. Or, once the play is over, press o to Watch Game and you'll get to see the next player's entire AB. This took me a couple of games to get used to, but I prefer it because if it's a situation where I know I'm not going to steal a base (such if there is a runner on the next base or I'm on 3rd), then I don't have to watch the entire AB.

Playing my first game and I'm really disappointed with the new baserunning indicator. The thing is a monstrosity and an eyesore for me.

# 146 Turbojugend @ 03/30/16 01:57 AM

I'll just pop in here and throw out a quick two thumbs up.

And hey, have you guys played with MadBum yet? Ramone, you sneaky devil...

# 147 steelerfan @ 03/30/16 02:04 AM

I have one complaint so far.

I've always used Auto baserunning because I hate losing games over a mistake when button-mashing to advance or hold a particular runner.

In the past, I could still manually take my own leads and steal. This year, I can still do that BUT it then appears to switch to manual baserunning. What this means is that if I manually call for a runner to steal and I execute a hit-and-run I now have to tell the runners whether to advance or hold if I get a hit.

It may seem small but to someone who enjoys Auto Baserunning, it makes me choose between becoming a (full or part-time) Manual Baserunning guy or never getting involved in base stealing decisions.

I need to test it some more to be 100% sure that this is what is happening but if I'm wrong then the CPU is doing a terrible job of advancing runners which is another problem (and if it's not fixed I'm back to being forced to use Manual Baserunning).

Other than that, I'm loving the game and I'm looking forward to things being fleshed out further with patches (mostly to carry over my Franchise that I started on 14).

Haven't had much time to play. Of course MLB would come out the week I have to work 80 hours.

I usually start at the easiest difficulty in RTTS and then work my way up to where it's challenging but not frustrating. This year the lowest difficulty is way way easier than previous years. In 20 games my contact hitting CF had 60 homeruns. I don't know how it will translate to the harder difficulties, I'll have to see how it is when I get more time to play.

# 149 jason324 @ 03/30/16 02:43 AM

Man why did they take out warming up your starting picture???

I think it's a hit and run issue. The runner stealing doesn't seem to recognise the balls been hit into play and automatically slides into second. Something that can be patched I'd imagine.

My batting order and pitchers order doesn�t stay the way I want it. I have things set the way I want it, and it changes on me. Even puts players I have in the minors into the MLB lineup. Playing in season mode. Anyone else having this people?

# 153 Stolm @ 03/30/16 03:40 AM

Game hard froze for the 5th time today, while I was editing my Walk-up music.

# 154 CornHoller @ 03/30/16 06:46 AM

The screen fonts are smaller which I don't like but no big deal.

Had Kevin Kiermaier hitting against Roberto Osuna and he pitched the ball before the swing count popup disappeared? Can't see the ball.

Gameplay looks good and they fixed that goofy play where the 1st baseman runs to RF after catching the ball for the 3rd out.

Haven't seen the replay logic yet but assume it's there.

I set my roster control on manual to move people to the DL but itis not functioning. Has anybody got this to work in season mode?

Can't wait for the regular season roster updates.

So far I'm

with the game.

If you started your season mode and didnt make sure that CPU CONTROL is off you cant use the manual injury and you want see any injuries period. You might want to check or make a new season, but really there is noway to go back and change this settings once u start.

Yep, happened to me twice yesterday and it cost me the game. Both times were hit-n-runs (actually I was trying to steal but decided to swing). Guy at the plate hits a gapper and I missed that the man on second just stopped. By the time I realized it, it was to late to advance. The next time up was a true hit and run and lined a screamer down the third base line. Again, forgot the guy wasn't gonna round 2nd on AUTO baserunning. By the way, I lost the game 3-2.

Hey, now I know.

Had time to get a quick game in this morning. One thing I notice each time I play is how much better playing defense is. The animations are smoother and more responsive. I have had 2 diving catches in the outfield and a few nice plays in infield in the 5 games I've played.

One thing I can't get to work is sounds of the show. I imported all the music and now when I go to juke box it crashes.

I have very few complaints with the game. I'm sure many issues will be addressed in a patch that have/will be found.
