Re: MLB The Show 16 Review (PS4)

Also, when batting, no option to check the balls that were trown to you anymore. I think you could press left or right on de d-pad in MLB 15. Wonder why they took this out or am I missing something?

Press R2.

I believe you have to have Guess Pitch ON for this to work. If that doesn't work try pressing R3 which is what the command is when pitching.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Review (PS4)

agree on franchise thoughts.

next year presentation needs to be at the top of the list. its lagging WAY behind every other sports game ive played this gen.

I was lucky and received The Show a week early. My initial rating was 9.44, but I tend to rate The Show .5 higher than OS. I love baseball and that may bias my opinion.

Everyone has 'hotspots' when rating a game. Stats, player models, presentation and giving an user a chance to see the entire play are big on my list for future improvements.

NAf, do you play any of the other modes? if so i have preorder bonus stuff from gstop i have no interest in using, since i am only a franchise man.

I believe he means gen you would press R2 and then press right on the dpad in The Show 15 it would display swing details on the lasr pitch thrown, like whether you were late or early etc. That feeture seems to have been taken out and you can only see the pitch spread when you press R2.

Biggest issue for me is that the pitchers still have the same robotic motions as every other version of The Show. I've been playing this game for the past ten years and it's still ridiculous that the motion capturing is so off. Some guys have nice fluid mechanics, but far too often you face guys with inaccurate hitches that make certain pitches just look awkward to face. In other games (sports and non-sports), the characters can move fluidly and accurately, but in The Show the pitchers just look awkward. I gave it a pass in the last gen because so many improvements were made in the graphics department and overall gameplay... But on this gen, I just expect more fluidness from the pitchers. If they kept previous versions of the game online, I'd probably just hold onto '15 and return '16 to save some money lol....

I kno different games different ratings. But man UFC the same rating as MLB just feels wrong.

I agree 100%! Even if The Show were exactly the same as the 2015 version it is still a solid game at its core. EA UFC is a complete waste of time and money. I am a big fan of this site, but I refer to sites like IGN for ratings. Too inconsistent here.

This game should be rated 100 on a scale of 1 to 10 in my humble opinion.

IGN for ratings..Since when have they been consistent ? They praise every COD game like it's the best thing ever. They get paid to overrate the same garbage games. UFC 2 is very very solid game that will only get better in the months to come

I respectfully disagree. In my experience, and given I mostly play sports titles, IGN has been pretty spot on on their reviews. Usually if they go 8.5 or above I don't regret the purchase. I have no idea what you see in the UFC game, but for me the mechanics are off, the "damage" is 100% cosmetic, the best way to win a fight is to just spam press the same move, or use ground and pound. The career mode is a complete joke, and the energy "meter" is horrible. The presentation was MUCH better with the THQ versions last gen. But other than that... the umm.... walkout music is pretty solid.

All pitching grip is a terrible in the MLB The Show 16. why SDS change the pitching grip? I can't understand... serious frame rate, terrible pitching motion capture, boring sportscaster~ I honestly think 7.5.

MLB 15 The Show - KERSHAW





MLB 16 The Show - KERSHAW

The grips have not changed. They still vary pitch type to pitch type. What you are highlighting there is the release. In MLB15, the pitch grip was maintained even after the ball was released. Now, pitchers/fielders look like the are actually letting the ball go during a pitch/throw animation.

Wow, had not noticed that before. That's not what a hand does after throwing a fastball though.

I hate to say it but that's not realistic at all. Pitchers irl do maintain their grip right after the ball leaves their hand.
