Anybody picking this one up?
It seems to have a lot of hype in the sports community, but am still interested to see how/if the marketing hype reaches the general population.
Not picking it up but am hearing great things about the new commentary team (outside of Matty V who seems like he'll always be there). Ball physics, frame rate and overall graphics appear to be positives.
No names on the back of Tigers road jerseys for some reason and SCEA said they won't patch it for some reason.
Not sure if it is the reason why in this instance, but IIRC in the past they have said they do not update or add uniforms after release due to them being such an ungodly file size. (Not the exact verbiage they used, but you get the point.)Quote:

I agree, but I wonder if it's the issue of creating a new uniform versus just turning/putting on names. Isn't MLB The Show the only major sports game that doesn't add in new/updated unis post-launch?Quote:

I may do the same thing with 17, I'll either just wait until it shows up real cheap around Thanksgiving or Christmas digital sales or else I'll just skip it entirely and look at maybe grabbing 18 new.
Bought it this afternoon. It's still downloading and installing but I played about 4 innings of the tutorial game between the Indians and Cubs. In that short time I could definitely see the difference in ball physics as I saw several hit balls travel in trajectoriesi hadn't seen before. The animations look alot more polished and smoother overall than in past versions.Quote:

The game seems alot more polished than in the past. Most everything is much smoother. I can't say enough about the ball physics. The trajectories are spot on and I'm seeing hits (and outs) that I see on TV all the time but have never seen in a game.

They are giving away a "free Mariners legend" in Diamond Dynasty today.
Spoiler: show
Saw this on Reddit and thought it was funny:

Barely played 16, so I don't think I will. I'll just pop in 16 and play RTTS if I get the itch.
