MLB The Show 16 News Post


MLB The Show 16 patch 1.04 is available now, weighing in at 237 MB, check out the details below and let us know what you are seeing!

UPDATE: The developers are aware of the issues users are reporting. Users are currently reporting the dreaded "Challenge Failed" error, pitch speeds not displaying correctly, and other various online problems.

UPDATE #2: We rolled out some server changes to address the challenge failed messages. Is anyone still getting them?

We will update this post when we get more details.

OFFLINE GAME-PLAY:
  • Dynamic Difficulty is now working as intended while batting.
  • The ball trail option will now correctly correspond in-game if set to off, or fade.
  • Several adjustments were made to the auto base running mechanics during offline game-play.
  • Fixed an issue within RTTS while pitching with certain Perks equipped would result in a crash.
  • Corrected the order in which the "Preloading a Throw” and “Double Play” tutorial appear.
  • Following a Year to Year file upload in Road To The Show, the player card stats would display incorrect team and player info. This should now be corrected.
  • Tweaks and adjustments were made to AI behavior and animations that should streamline game-play performance. Areas of adjustment include: Fielders tagging moving base runners, Routes to catch balls, running catch animations, Fielders correctly covering bases on complex double play situations, etc…
  • Within Franchise mode, some generated or additional players were listed as born in “Alaska” instead of their correct place of origin. This should now be corrected and no longer happen.
  • Adjustments made to both online and offline pitcher/reliever energy levels.
  • New scanned heads added to update user’s experience following a year to year file upload.
  • Fixed numerous hangs, crashes, soft locks, etc., reported by the community through the bug reporting tool.
  • Sponsors should now give rewards.
ONLINE GAME-PLAY:
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a loss for users who requested a friendly quit at certain times.
  • Resolved a number of freezing, soft locks, instability and crashes during online play.
  • Fixed an issue where a pitch could occasionally change path on its’ way to the plate, shifting from inside the zone to outside the zone within a frame.
  • Addressed an issue under certain circumstances a pitcher would automatically pitch when the batter came out of Batter's Eye Cam.
  • Changes were made to the Batters Eye Cam: How long it can be used, how many times it can be accessed per at bat, etc… This should limit exploits, but keep the feature usable for its’ intended purpose.
  • We’ve shortened the total amount of pause time from 6 minutes to 5 minutes during an online game.
  • The pitchers pitch type interface will now be hidden if the batter is using Guess Pitch or Pitch History (L2 Button). This should help the user who is pitching understand when they can and cannot start the pitching motion.
  • Fixed a bug where the user was not being awarded the “Free Swings” trophy in an Online Home Run Derby if specific operations were being performed.
AUDIO
  • Resolved issues where in game intro/walk-up music would not play properly.
  • Tuned commentary triggers to be more accurate in one-sided games.
  • Reduced the amount of repetitive audio clips for specific players.
  • Fixed an issue where player yells were being disabled through the controller within Road To The Show. An occasional sound burst could also occur during game-play.
  • Various other general bug fixes.

Turned it on for the first time since 1.04 and it stuck on the load screen before it prompts you to press the options button.

Edit: never mind, I upgraded my PS4 hard drive to 2TB and forgot I would need to install the game again.

But this year I am seeing tons of glitches and bugs, and finding new ones every single time I play.
I have to agree starting to feel like I paid to be a bug tester. Keep in mind I have been around these forums for a few years and MLB 16 has gotten the most post from me ever!

I usually just read the post here but I guess my hopes were so high for MLB 16 I had no choice but to chime in! Especially considering all of the issues I have found and submitted. I can only wait to see how things pan out from this point on!

A dev just said that they rolled out some server changes to address the challenge failed messages.

I cant check right now.

Anyone know which players got updated scans?
 
# 65 19 @ 05/01/16 09:33 PM
Were any of the skin tones addressed?

So RTTS transfer files from 15 glitches still not fixed? Hometown, nationality etc?

I second this. I play classic baserunning and always use the buttons and d-pad to tag up. Playing a game right now post patch and it doesn't work. Also, does anyone know a work around for the white faces carryover glitch. It sounded like this patch was going to fix it but no luck. Rickie Weeks and others still have white heads and black arms.

Played an exhibition game post patch... auto baserunning works as it should for four innings... then, what do you know, my pitcher hits a single to the outfield, but the runner at first doesn't move. Out at second.

!!!!!!!!!! So infuriating.

I'm going to pause the download of the patch until this gets fixed. I use classic base running as well so this is disappointing to hear. I love this game and SCEA but I'm definitely seeing things out of character for them this year. Hoping they right the ship for the remainder of this year into 2017.

Sounds good, I'm looking forward to playing a game with the new patch changes.

I noticed that the change is in the lineup menu, but not in the game. So a partially great change.

Well. Lesson learned. I hit pause and didn't delete the patch (prior to downloading) thinking it wouldn't download until I hit the pause button again in the download screen. Wrong. Patch downloaded and installed while I played. For now I'm screwed until they fix the wrongs of this patch. Smh

Forgot to mention, still unable to call for a pickoff an an infielder in RTTS.

Instead I can do this......



Looks like am trying to call for a pickoff but animation does not complete.

And I am doing this by pulling both triggers at the same time. Old pickoff calls used to be trigger plus the base button, so not sure exactly what this is.

Add it to the bug list.

Anyone know how this patch affects the PS3 version? And if it fixes the unreadable text?
 
# 77 Spokker @ 05/01/16 10:51 PM
I noticed that classic baserunning was broken like others did. I changed my baserunning settings, then changed them back, and I was able to choose which base I wanted the runner to go to.

I was in the middle of a game.
 
# 78 Mike Lowe @ 05/01/16 10:53 PM
Carryover saves still don't import stats and morale details correctly? Bullpen AI is still the same as before?

Sorry, honestly not able to check myself until I'm back in town on Friday.

This is good news. I was actually getting up off my couch at the start of every game to see if anyone needed a rest.

I'll have to give this a try my next game. I hope it works for me too.
