MLB The Show 16 News Post


MLB The Show 16 Patch 1.03 is available now, check out the details below and let us know what you are seeing!
  • FLS traffic reduced and signaling fixes. This should resolve the “Challenge Failed” issue encountered when connecting to any Head to Head Online game mode.
  • Play VS CPU (in Diamond Dynasty) had some pitcher energy issues. Entering conquest mode (3 inning games), then backing out, would negatively affect all Pitchers energy when returning back to Play vs CPU in Diamond Dynasty mode. This is now fixed.
  • Entitlement pending popup fix on boot up. For new users (with entitlements) or for users who purchase on the website. When those users logged in, they were not being alerted that they had entitlements pending. This is now fixed and users will be prompted upon boot up to redeem these products.
  • Within Diamond Dynasty, the PA Announcer would often say the user's location audio as opposed to the opponent who is up to bat. This is now fixed.
  • Within Franchise mode, the title could crash when attempting to navigate the Schedule during the Offseason with a Year-to-Year save file. The game could crash trying to access pitcher stats in the offseason. We added a check to prevent updating the pitcher data during the offseason. This issue is now resolved.
  • We've removed the reward popup from screen flow to speed up services. We still show it on login and when returning from game so this should have no issues
  • The game would crash in defensive positioning quick screen during online head to head games. This is now resolved.
  • Card Rewards in DD had misnamed animations in the post-game reward screen, causing the wrong cards to disappear, which caused user to think he was getting a different card in some situations. This has been fixed.
  • Within Season/Franchise mode, all games on the schedule were said to be starting at 1 PM. This UI visual but has been fixed.
  • Within Conquest mode and Diamond Dynasty-Play vs CPU, there was a crash in the pause menu within the Advanced Pitching options.
  • The Ball Trail was stuck on at all times in RTTS modes, no matter what the option was set to. This should now be fixed.
  • Within Season/Franchise, when progressing with a Year to Year save, the game could crash during the offseason while scrolling through particular parts of the menu. This is now fixed.
  • During online games, if the batter called a timeout (or practice swung) at the same time the pitcher was attempting to pitch, the game would occasionally freeze, and neither user could progress or use their pause menu. One user would have to quit the application. This is now believed to be fixed.
  • Fix for online entry options getting reset before going into an online game. Retractable roofs would not close, night and day, weather options, and month of the year would function. This is now fixed.
  • Sounds of the Show could crash within its menus, if you had certain music files with large amounts of metadata. Rare enough but could affect a number of users. This is now fixed.
  • Please refrain from using Perks as a RTTS pitcher as it will cause the game to crash for the time being. We have a fix and it will be included in our next update.

Yes, not unplayable, but I've seen multiple totally ridiculous decisions. Lowering the speed slider helps...some...so I'm doing that and it's better at least as the runners seem more "scared".

But it's not just a one-off or rare problem.

That's odd. I've played 30+ franchise games, and have yet to see this once. I wonder what the difference is? I can't explain why people have such wildly different experiences while playing the same game. I hope it gets fixed for you.

Are you intimating we are not being truthful? Not sure why anyone would lie about this.

I think that's by design. I understand this one and don't have a problem with it, but I see why others might.

Personally I like being able to override CPU baserunning when it's on auto.

I like many others have just a few glitches with ABR.. I play franchise only, and never online. I am into the month late June in my Franchise.. I have played many of those games, I have no problems with hit and run and my players always steal when i send them the signal. Now and then they do get picked off especially when the CPU is expecting it. When i do have a problem such as not stopping at 3b and getting gunned at the plate, or not trying to advance. I notice that those players have a very low steal rating and base running rating. I notched up Base running speed rating on my sliders and it seemed to help. I also dropped OF running speed and throwing arm. My runners are a little more aggressive now. It is far from perfect, but doesn't ruin the game for me. I am an Indians fan in real life, and after watching them play and i see the mistakes they make on the bases, I just see it as one of those weird strange plays that happen. BB is not a game of perfection, and now and then these little glitches make me smile. For me it adds to the realism.. But again I am not seeing it that often as many of you and can understand your frustration. This may be the dumbest question ever asked, but I'll ask it anyway. One of my great friends that has the game is also experiencing ABR problems. When he comes to my house,he notices a big difference.. We share files so we both have the same things. The only difference between my game and his is mine is store bought disk, His is a digital DL. I just wonder if it could have anything to do with that. Hey, I said it was a dumb question.. LOL

Has anyone heard anything about carryover saves importing stats properly?

Was hoping to continue my carryover Tigers franchise, but the stats are still importing with multiple errors.

the issue in my sig is still in the game

only modes I play are franchise and RTTS and have for years
to compensate for the problem i have is to just create a player and put him in the franchise

i love the new audio commentary they've added

"if he keeps this up he'll be rookie of the year"
"he's also among the league leaders in hits"
"i love watching young guys become stars before our eyes"

only problem is this isn't in RTTS...they don't even acknowledge anything for your player in that mode.

they just left it like this last year without addressing it and they're doing it again...I'm good with franchise but I do miss playing RTTS.

This is the first year of playing the show that I've ever had this kind of baserunning issue. I'm on manual baserunning. Numerous times I've had 2 outs with a man on base, gotten a base hit and the runner just stays on the base and it kills my inning. I think it only happens to me when I use analog hitting, could just be a coincidence though.

I think its because of Showtime and now its just the R1 button. I would hope it would revert because it takes a lot away from the fielding experience.
Would this make Slide step pitching also R1? as it's listed as R2 in the Help but that's ShowTime/BulletTime thingy. I was trying to figure this out last night as I was trying to hold Dee Gordon on while RttSing

Slide step is L2.
