MLB The Show 16 New Features
4 new swing types
Out of
Position Logic: can't put CF in SS or RF and put at 3B. New animations look
OOP players look "silly"
Less cheating in DD
New infield dirt is already in the game in
Toronto
New dive animations make more realistic grabs on hard hits. Each dive requires diff throw animations too
Better fielding attributes = better route to ball
More routes are in the game too. Steeper angles, turns, pursuit to ball. More exciting plays
Human IK has been added. Smoother transitions like as a pitcher releases ball to next animation, like covering 1B
You won't see a pitcher's feet sliding around in between pitch and hit = smoother
Secondary positions like SS playing 2B = still will make plays. Catcher moved to 2B = not as good animations
Run styles are only cosmetic, you can still have a high speed attribute even with lumbering style runner
New default leadoff at 1B, new pick off moves allow for quicker turn/pickoffs
Bunting, Steals & Tags have been re-worked this year. A lot of problems have been addressed from '15
Online issues are "resolved" = less cheesers
Big difference now between bunting difficulty, especially for hitters not good at it
You can stare down the lead runners, won't cause benches to clear.
Pre-loading a throw is important
There is a window of opportunity to get great animation, might miss and then the runner will be safe
Quick Counts are still in the game
You can have 99 speed with a lumbering run style
Some runners don't run hard to 1B like
David Ortiz, then you see casual-type throws from defense
Coaching
Personalities are new this year, AL will be aggressive and NL will be conservative
For Example,
Atlanta might bunt in the 5th after lead runner gets on, positional alignments will show up too
You get to
SWITCH pitch with
Pat Venditte in this year's game.
20 unique personalities for Umpires this year. 2 of them are accuracy type & bias type.
Accuracy type could be
100% on making calls, bias could be low strikes in the zone OR accuracy is not accurate to left side & bias type = high balls.
Analog stride swing NOT in the game yet, But they are planning to add it this year, but make not make it in.
Umpires are fictional with the 20 personalities
Players can lose the balls in the sun
Added logic and moves for trailing defender for cut-offs
Devs stressing this is NOT an
Arcade Baseball Game
Players will transition into animation for faster throws on pop-ups. Big deal b/c you won't see delays while opponent takes home
Stealing and pick-off system is completely rewritten. 80 speed is not an automatic steal.
All new animation, feet position and branching throws for catchers
Replay challenge system is the same from last year.
Swing feedback is improved.
Precision input game-play engine makes more consistent.
Line up
PCI to ball = better line drives.
Pulse pitching is still in the game.
New throw meter.
No rain delays or doubleheaders.
Fans will be able to grab balls over the rail.
No more dive tags with R2 for defenders to dive to runners or bases
The Jose Bautista bat flip from postseason is in the game this year, was added day after that postseason game.
Cleveland and Toronto have updated stadiums.
Marlins Park has new dimensions
6 new player personalities.
Crossing Home,
Tandem teammates celebrations & OF celebrations
