One small thing I wish the game had, is the national anthem. Having that before every game would make it so baseball, and even more real. what do you guys think.

I was hoping the new animations this year would be more team oriented high fives for things done other than home runs.
I did however see a fan fall over the sideline rail to get a foul ball. Also I saw a gatorade splash when my locked player had a good game!
Loading times are killing me today.. I don't play online and being punished. Accessing the roster vault took about 3 mins. Accessing the game menu took about four minutes. I guess whats so annoying seeing that "flashing" circle in the lower right hand corner.
Folks, we understand the frustration with the servers, but immature posts will not be tolerated in any form. Continue to post in a constructive manner of face similar consequences.

Some people have mentioned that seeing The Show 16 ads in the game make it look un-realistic. I'm watching the Dodgers/Giants game and behind home plate the have 2 good size The Show 16 ads on the backs stop. I had to do a double take because it looks very similar to the game.
Could the whole addition of conquest and battle royale be the culprit of the server issues? It's always hard to stress test servers without some sort of beta.
Too many pick offs on conquest.
The game animations have really cost me a few times. A small roller to the pitcher and despite me fully loading the throw bar he takes his time getting it to first, resulting in an infield hit for the computer. This was a problem before, but it seemed to be fixed last year.
Another animation issue is catching balls in the outfield. If it's going to be this sensitive to player positioning then there needs to be some kind of strafing button like they have for receivers in Madden or defending in NBA games.
The challenge animation is too long.
Some positives though for me are that the hitting feels much smoother this year. Balls squared up feel truly struck. The chess game and feel of the battle between the pitcher and batter is incredibly realistic.
Be honest, is there really no come back feature? Actual baseball has some bit of a catch up feature, I believe, so maybe it isn't as unrealistic as it seems. Still, it'd be nice to know if there's a boost and what attributes to the amount of boost, if there is one.
Great game.

After promising myself that I wasn't going to buy this years version straight out of the gate, what with the previous PS4 versions being buggy on release, predictably I caved after seeing all the developer videos!!
Have to say though I have been pretty disappointed so far!!
Player models are still PS3.
Pitchers still getting hit too often!!
Still no urgency from fielders, especially in situations that merit it.
The air ball lob throws are also still in there and usually occur at the worst time ie trying to do a double play.
AI bullpen usage is still suspect.
Baserunning appears to be broken!!
Frame rate issues presumably caused by the new PBR system.
PCI still seems to have little relevance within the game!!
Despite the claims about the new precision input engine I am still seeing way too many hits/fouls when the PCI is nowhere near the ball. Likewise when you do get good timing with the ball in the centre of the PCI there are still those dribblers in front of home plate or too many chopppers!!
And don't get me started about online play!!
Having said all that I am still going to play the game to death!!
I just wish that instead of concentrating on the look of the game the devs would pay more focus to sorting gameplay issues and baseball fundamentals first then worry about the light/texture in the dugouts!!

I've only played two games but I don't see any of the above issues.
I find hitting to be very rewarding this year. Whatever precision input did, I hope it stays.

I have sympathy for all of you who are having troubles while online. I'm sure that's frustrating.
But, as a purely OFFLINE player, I want to make it clear that the game is as smooth as can be. I have not experienced any lag whatsoever. And, when i had some delay in screens loading, I simply DCd the connection and it went away.
I'm only contributing this so potential buyers know it's a server thing and not the game itself.
Of course, I may be the only person who doesn't care about online modes, so take it for what it's worth.
On another note, I'm still plagued by my runners diving back to first on obvious hits. That's a whole other subject

Been playing Conquest DD so that is what I will base this part of my impressions on.
First and foremost....I LOVE THIS MODE!!! Always wanted to play and invest in DD but have never like the shows online connection. Too much timing for online delay, but I digress. This mode is amazing for a player like myself. I am into it and the 3 inning structure is great for just wanting to get some baseball in when I don't have the hour or so a full nine innings will take. Ergo my wife like this mode too!
Inside Edge has changed the game. No more just putting one guy in forever. Having the option to use more players based on their IE match-up has me using guys I would never use regularly. For my team that is mostly at 2nd and Catcher, but I've seen the affects of not rotating out a 1 or 2 star player even if they are elite.
Conquest it self is fun, fun, fun. If you are like me and like to play in every park just to see different hitters eye, pitching broadcast cams and park nuiances you'll love the ability to play in every park as you see fit.
That said there are some things that I just don't like about it the mode and would like to see improved for next year.
DH or lack there of. I know that there are fans that perfer the NL style of ball. I am not one of them. But I am also a guy who beleives IRL that the road team should bring their rules in interleague play. I think it would be cool to see a pitcher bat at Camden yards when the Nationals are in town. But I feel at the very least the game should have a DH in AL parks. Seems like a no brainer to me. (again not a DD guy so if its always been this way then so be it.)
Not playing games when I am attacked. Self explanatory. If a team is attacking my territory it would be nice to have the option to play that game rather that sit there helpless as I lose a territory that I just had to play the game to acquire (I know you can sim, but I want to play the game). This ties into my next point.
Where are the home games? Spend all this time making home uniforms and I NEVER get to wear them in conquest? In my eyes allowing us to play games when our territory is being attacked solves two of my issues.
Server issues and games. So if I play a game win or lose and I lose my connection to the servers that game doesn't count and has to be replayed. But if I have to leave and can't return tot he game I get credited with a loss. I know this opens it self up for exploits, but this is a single player mode so they are what exploiting themselves? Good for the goose good for the gander IMO.
In conclusion conquest is the only mode I've really played while waiting for OSFM and I am a huge fan. I think with a couple of improvements to flesh/round out game play this mode is a real winner.
