MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

I like several ideas on this board. would love to be able to turn my player into a manager at the end of my career. I also think it would be neat to be able to be an umpire in a career. You could start in minors and work your way up intot he majors. You could set it where the computer told you the right call or make it where you didnt get no cues. Of course you don't have to take the suggestion of the computer. Also I would love to see the ability to argue calls come back.

I would hope the player models are even better with a full year to work with the nextgen console.

I also think the numbers on all of the back of the uniforms are too low and on some are too narrow.

Same goes for the emblems on the helmets. Some are way to big. Especially for the Yankees. Big pet peeve of mine.

Would love expanded rosters as well.

I hope challenging will be in the game as well.

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

1. Add A-Advanced. I'm sure they would have space to do this with the new next gen consoles

2. Choose responses for post game interviews.

3. Pregame ceremonies if you win Player of the Week, Player of the Month, Gold Glove, MVP, etc.

4. Much more.

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

Something I'd really like to see is having the batting helmet tied to the hat you choose, not the jersey. Is it this way now because of programming issues?

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

I would like to see the following in MLB The show 15

1. Manager Arguments on bad calls. Ability to argue a 3rd strike. Player/Manager/umpire interactions.

2. Add the Kingdome to old ball parks, as well as Three Rivers Ballaprk, Vetrans Stadium, Riverfront Stadium

3. Team based Annoucers. Rick Rizz in seattle, Etc

4. Ability to use your salary, buy homes in the area you are playing, purchase equipment to up your ratings

5. Create a ballpark mode, build a stadium to your liking and then import it in the game. Like a new dodger stadium, or new oakland ballpark.

Thanks
Mike

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

I would like to see some form of international teams implemented maybe not in the WBC form but some kind of tournament.

I would also like to see create teams option and relocation options for existing teams.

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

1. Twitter Feed like Madden and NBA 2k
2. If your a pitcher you should be able to ask your manager for one more batter or ask to be taken out.
3. Be able to relocate your team or build a new stadium in your current city like in madden in franchise.
4. Like many others have said they need single-a in road to the show because most 18 year olds don't start in AA
5. Trading logic needs to be fixed.

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

When you reach the show make the managers feel different playing for a tactician, laid back, or aggressive manager.
Playing for a tactician like Brue Bochy or Buck Showalter that use a lot of different strategies to keep games close.
A laid back manager like Terry Francona or Joe Maddon that doesn't penalize you for making a few mistakes.
Playing for an aggressive manager like Matt Williams that tries to get the most out of their players by pushing them hard but also might bench them if they are not performing to their expectations.
I just want to see different managerial styles in the game

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

My wishlist:

1. Allow us to use existing Minor League Baseball players from AAA, AA and A for RTTS like Irving Falu.

Just thought I'd let you know that Sony might want to select a cover athlete. I myself have a strong feeling that the cover athlete of MLB 15: The Show would be Carlos Gomez. My top 10 for MLB 15: The Show cover is:

1. Carlos Gomez (Milwaukee) - NO WAY - Hes a Thug
2. Johnathan Lucroy (Milwaukee) - Possible
3. Aramis Ramirez (Milwaukee) - No
4. Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles <nl>) - Definate</nl>
5. David Price (Detroit) - Maybe
6. Miguel Cabrera (Detroit) No - Already has been one
7. Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh) No - Already has been one
8. Paul Goldshmit (Arizona) - No
9. Prince Fielder (Texas) - Overrated
10. Chase Utley (Philadelphia)- No

KING FELIX needs to be one.

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

I'm going to make a wishlist for things that are very possible and or are easy fixes/additions. These will be out of order but very detailed. This will be long but everything I am listing is feasible as most relate to fixing mechanics in the game rather than adding new functions.

1. Create a franchise w/ custom stadium (Not Diamond Dynasty). Some people might say that this is not possible due to scheduling issues with an odd number of teams. There are 2 solutions. You can either 'replace' a team of your choosing or create 2 teams (1 NL, 1 AL) and have the game re-balance the scheduling to accommodate the 2 new teams.

2. New animation system (and or more animations + adding 'animation priority'). I'm not asking for simulation based engine like Euphoria by Natural Motion or anything (though it would be nice!), but the animation system currently in use can be downright frustrating. Players often show a lack of 'urgency' on grounders by hitters like Billy Hamilton. C'mon, nobody lollygags on a grounder by him! Heck, I would accept at least an error if they rushed it too much. At least it's more realistic! Also, I don't want to always see the predictable 'double pump' animation that is premeditated (among many others). That's the real issue. So much of the game is scripted when it comes to fielding animations. This would be the hardest addition to the series (if going with the simulation/hybrid Madden style system) but it's desperately needed for also adding realism.

3. More pitch discrepancy/dynamics and stats. You don't need a simulation program for this either (though it would be nice) but it'd be nice to have more modifiers that also dictate a pitchers 'consistency' in how their pitches break. We all know a pitcher who can throw a great slider but only after throwing like 8 bad ones or vice versa. Even so, the pitch trajectory should not be so linear as it is in the game. To make it simple, I'm really just asking for 2 new modifiers. For every pitch you can have Pitch Depth & you can have Break Consistency (how often the pitcher will throw a sharp/good pitch vs. a floater/meatball).

4. Player traits. Very simple. I know the game tries to circumvent this with just using the stats to 'replicate' the traits certain players have but we all know this isn't very realistic. Take a page out of Pro Yakyu Spirits book.

5. Reward the player more for doing good or punish them more for being bad. Before I continue, I will say that of course Baseball in real life does NOT work this way. Sometimes a great pitch is crushed and sometimes a bad swing results in a double. Nothing you can do about them. However you do have to remember that this is a 'video game' and supposed to be 'fun'. So how do you balance this? You make it more difficult to perform good. You make the player more susceptible to making mistakes. A good example is the pitching meter. When I hit the middle of the bar, the hitter should a majority of the time just miss outright and when I miss, make me pay for it. I feel it's just too random and thus frustrating at times (for some, I'm included). For purists, I can understand why you wouldn't want this so I can say that I would at least want this just as an option. Also, I am aware that sliders can amend some of these issues, however I find it still not rewarding and or punishing enough when needed. Easy to fix too... MVP 2005 was pretty fair at this and still got 'realistic' enough results overall.

6. New announcers... nearly everyone has said this so yeah.

7. STOP THE BUNTS PLEASE. Nearly every game I play there is an attempt for a drag bunt. This is mostly true in RTTS.

8. Make catchers more competent at throwing runners out! I'm not sure about in other modes this year as I played mostly RTTS. However, in RTTS when pitching, whoever is catching me has probably a 1% rate (admittedly an exaggeration but still) at throwing runners out. And it's not just in this years game either.

9. New character creation system. The current one is pretty terrible. There are many free online MMO games that have better creation systems than this. Surely the SCE San Diego Studio has enough of a budget to at least be respectable in character creation. Also, add in the ability to scan and add your own face. These are a bit more optional but very easy to adjust so why not but, I'd like to also see the height and weight range be more flexible. RTTS is really just 'fantasy' so why can't I make someone 5'0" and 120 pounds or 7'2" and 350 pounds of pure muscle? Also, add the ability to create a female character. Really isn't any excuse to exclude it from RTTS. Also, adding more sponsored equipment would be nice. I'd love to choose my bat model and glove model. I'm sure some company's would love to have their stuff shown in game. Also customization/crating batting stances and pitch deliveries has also been brought up a lot. I'd love to have that.

10. Trading logic needs to be fixed. Many others have already elaborated on this so I won't.

11. Manager logic as well.

12. Weather/rain delays/double headers same as above.

13. Full minor league system. Not that hard (apart from the rights obviously).

14. More catcher statistics. It's becoming more evident and clear that catchers do influence the game by a ton. So a stat like 'Pitch framing' and 'Logic' could be applicable for catchers. Actually, now that I think of it, Logic could be something all players could have. 99 Logic hitter could guess/predict pitchers better and playing as one makes it more likely for you to guess correctly.

15. Hitter's eye. Many people have requested this as well. Or any other form of pitch recognition would be helpful. Not everyone can view the pitch depth and location and thus timing is the biggest issue when playing baseball video games. In real life, it's hard but at least you have a 3D image to help. Most gamer's don't have that 'luxury'. It would just make the experience less frustrating while adding this to the other hitting addition I mentioned previously shouldn't make the game any 'easier'.

16. More dynamic hot/cold streaks and various other modifiers to influence a players 'ability' range. All stats are not static of course but some players are certainly 'more consistent'. So, with that said, with player traits, they could dictate how wide or 'small' their range of hot/cold is thus affecting their consistency. For example, if a hitters base contact is 70, their 'range' could be 10% when playing 'normally'. And during a hot streak, it adds 5% to their base... and then cold, it's minus 20%. There are obviously a ton of other variations you could have to this too thus making players play more 'dynamically' even when neither hot or cold. The only stat's not effected by this should be velocity and durability.

There are a bunch of other things I would wish to add but I am drawing blanks at the moment. I'll come back once I remember them. I know a lot of these probably wont ever happen, but it is my wishlist and as I said these are relatively feasible/easy to do with the game engine they already have. Just not entirely sure it's the product 'they' want to make.

Re: MLB 15 Road To The Show Wishlist

1) Have a carrer mode like NBA 2K where you get interviewed, sign endorserments, off field events, ect.

2) Have ejections in the game.

3) Create a ballpark mode like MVP NCAA Baseball 06.

4) Relocation settings in franchise mode.
