zzcoolj21 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I hear only good things so far. Quote Initial thoughts...little nervous when during the install the disc would pop out and say corrupted data, delete data and try again. (not exact words) After the 5th attempt, I was desperate, (I have 'gold') in my mitts and can not install the damn game! I have never had this happen before. ( I posted yesterday I might be getting to cocky posting about getting the game early)Well, in the end, I deleted MLB15, and was finally able to install 16. (whew!)I have not really played an inning yet. I am assisting Roster/Franchise guys at the moment. But so far when playing as the Royals against the Mets, as The Show installs,WOW!!If you are undecided, slap yourself, and order The Show. Will be playing much more after midnight, and post my thoughts. http://www.operationsports.com/forums/mlb-show/876740-mlb-show-16-impressions-thread-impressions-only.html I also hear fielding animations have been drastically improved. On the fence about pre-ordering. Would like to decide tonight so I can install early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabugo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Still having a lot of fun with '15. Can't even see this clip right now, I might buy it and then my wife might kick my ass out of the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It LOOKS good as usual, but the question will remain about game play. You may want to wait a month or so before people start complaining (or not complaining if that's the case) about the game glitches and such. Hopefully they have those ironed out.

DaSteelerz Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I like the shadowing, other than that it still looks like The Show (the same Show) which I was never a big fan of. If I could just get that nice looking crowd from The Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debsterfan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If there is something about MLB The show that I can't stand it's the BOOOORING commentary. Commentators are as fun as watching paint dry. I like the fact that you have many options to choose for players gears tho. I can't think of how much Sony payed for the licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, graphics look outstanding, but as for gameplay I can't say much. This year I'd like to finally give The Show a try, after almost buying The Show 15 for PS3 last year: First of all because I have never owned the game, neither have I played a single game, hence why I can't talk much about gameplay, secondly because I finally own a PS4 (I never thought I would own one, but I'm a big Just Cause 3 fan, found a bundle with the game and I couldn't pass up on it!) and I'd like to see what the fuss is all about.

Yeah, honestly I wish 2K had some more animations and stuff, but the modding makes it fun for me. It makes the game feel more sim-like. There are still little quirks that annoy me, but yeah I still enjoy 2K. Obviously why we are here We may not be able to do certain things, but with enough effort some of these player faces, equipment and stadiums/environments can rival The Show. Just takes time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzcoolj21 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I gave in. Guess I'll post some impressions in 3 days, 8 hours, 40 minutes, 12 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Next week, I'm going to have an all baseball household again. OOTP17 on PC, The Show on my console. SO GOOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujomatty Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I got it Thursday and it's pretty incredible. I made a sound pack on operation sports with almost 500 different player walk ups, reliever entrances and stadium sounds used by players last year if anyone's interested.

Gordo Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 But what are you're impressions, especially of the game play? There seems to be a lot of talk around the game in the early going here, but nothing real concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujomatty Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Everything seems tighter control wise.the brought the stride option back for hitting which I'm loving. The precision hitting is also pretty great. The games beautiful but there is still a little bit of framerate issues in cut scenes. Last year in broadcast pitching after you selected a pitch the graphics downgraded a bit. It doesn't this year. The pbr lighting is cool but I don't notice it much to be honest. I actually dove and caught a ball in the outfield which i haven't been able to do for years. A little disappointed that you cant have the throw meter over your head ala 2k, without the gd awful massive new throw meter under your feet. Hit variety is definetly better. The accessories are sick this year. Sunglasses as well. Shoes look crisper than in the past. Sounds of the show really ads so much. All in all it's a great game.

If the PS4 wasn't so spendy, I'd go buy one and get this game. Watched a bunch of clips on youtube last night and it looks very impressive.

aceshigh Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I preordered it today. 6 more hours until I can start my download. One question: my console is actually downloading a 6gb file for The Show. What is it? I have no clue as the game is 42 gbs in total... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotribematt Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Got the ps3 verison of the game. My only complaint is the computer pitcher ALWAYS throws strikes. NEVER misses at least in the 3 games I've played so far. I've yet to get 1 pitch not a strike from the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie hitting difficulty will throw more meatballs and stuff around the plate and will only throw junk if you keep trying to hit garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note I'm blaming KC for my first loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
