It would be great if they could get Jon Miller and then Mike Krukow to go with him. Although my first choice would be Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow. I just love their interaction and banter throughout a game.

Fans catching foul balls.

Fans catching balls, dropping balls, cutscenes of fans showing off their catch to the applause of the crowd and fans scrambling to get a ball under the seats.

More legends and players that aren't currently playing anymore.

An arcade game mode where you open trading card packs, make teams out of what you get and try to win a short 16 game season/playoff run with them. Add online matches against other people to perfect the mode.

Ah, you're thinking of when they were in the mvp series. The other choices that would be great are Indians radio man Tom Hamallton, and Yanks man John Sterling. Both have amazing voices, and get as excited as you can get.

I have a top 5 for NL and AL for the cover:

AL:

1. Miguel Cabrera (Detroit)
2. Felix Hernandez (Seattle)
3. CC Sabathia (New York (AL))
4. Chris Sale (Chicago (AL))
5. Mike Trout (Los Angeles (AL))

NL:

1. Carlos Gomez (Milwaukee)
2. Jonathan Lucroy (Milwaukee)
3. Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles (NL))
4. Francisco Rodriguez (Milwaukee)
5. Aramis Ramirez (Milwaukee)

All combined which is top 10:

1. Carlos Gomez (Milwaukee)
2. Jonathan Lucroy (Milwaukee)
3. Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles (NL))
4. Miguel Cabrera (Detroit)
5. Francisco Rodriguez (Milwaukee)
6. Felix Hernandez (Seattle)
7. CC Sabathia (New York (AL))
8. Aramis Ramirez (Milwaukee)
9. Chris Sale (Chicago (AL))
10. Mike Trout (Los Angeles (AL))

If neither of those 10 make it on the cover, I'd still buy MLB 15: The Show, as long as my lower ranked teams like St. Louis doesn't get on the cover.

I think for the cover they should do what Sports Illustrated does.
Have regional covers.

As far as what needs to happen for a 15 purchase.

STATS

MORE IMMERSIVE FRANCHISE MODE

NEW ANNOUNCE CREW

LOOSEN THE GRIP ON THE CANNED ANIMATIONS

and to a lesser extent

GET RID OF THE HR CELEBRATION CAM

Re: MLB 15 The Show: What needs to change in order for you to purchase

I will buy regardless, but...

- ability to use edited player gear/stances/deliveries in the show live mode. (this was possible in MLB 13 the show, but not in 14 for some reason.

- more uniform slots and updated uniforms including more and better throwback options

-will Alex rodriguez be in the game despite not playing in 2014?

- commentary commentary commentary

- Aghem... (andrelton Simmons face)

-ability to see team uniforms in player editor and the ability to set home and road gear

- more/new player gear options

- players wear their set gear despite temperature and time. in night games Many players will automatically have long sleeves

- unlock editor options, shoe color for many teams is locked (phillies, cubs, a's, blue jays? Cardinals royals dodgers etc. This was addressed a few years ago in patch, but is locked again. Also the ability to edit cap bills and helmet style again.

-teams with vests actually wear vests instead of a regular jersey with colored jersey sleeves (Rockies) also the rockies wears a black shirt under their vest... Not purple. Also fix the rockies helmets, they're are very purple and fade to black.

-more appearance options for player creator (especially hair)

-ability to hire/fire and create coach in any mode (even in the default menu) and ability to do this at any point during the season.

- retractable roofs

-more classic stadiums, even more recent like the vet, riverfront stadium, atl Fulton county stadium, astrodome

- low stirrup socks (chipper cujones

It would be cool if the show could buy the rights to MLB 2ks commentary.

A-rod will be in the game next year. And as far as the shows commentary, I trust them when they say it'll get vastly improved. They know there is plenty of room for improvement.

They are by far my favorite, but I don't see them as national broadcasters at all.

Furthermore, direction might be everything, but they didn't translate very well into the MVP games. They are the best duo in the business live when I watch Giants games, but that seems to be the extent of it so far.

Finally, Krukow can't do PBP. Ever. He sounds so unnatural when he does a play or two while Kuip is in the bathroom or his mic is broken or something. Kuip is the same way with color commentary, as I don't agree with half of what he says when he provides his opinion. Kuip is PBP, Kruk is color, they gotta do it for actual Giants games... and that might be it. So they are my favorite, but only in a specific way.

I'm sure is improved but 2ks commentary was insanely realistic.

Yes it was, and it was like that on ps2, just think of how it can be now. Guess we can only dream for now... I think they eventually can get it to that level, lol, maybe they can bring in the devs who worked on it!

I would like to see the speed of the real game captured more accurately. Running catches, diving stabs. Baseball is a game of huge ebbs and flows. When it's slow, it can be painfully so. But when it's fast...it's 98 mph fastballs and rockets off the bat.

The show kind of represents the game in a very dreamy, movie like way. Spice it up! Show the action that really takes place. Guys sprint down the lines and chase down balls in the gap.

I agree with this, and I really think the budget issues need to be addressed. I'm not sure the reasoning behind not posting the players' salaries at this point since there is no official MLBPA-licensed game at this point.

It would help with reality and properly budgeting everything. A nice bonus would be incentive deals, season to season injuries, rehab AAA. Ratings drops after significant injuries, etc.

MLB told SCEA no to real player salaries and no to close to real life salaries(They tried to implement it a few years back before they were told no). The PS4 doesn't have the budget issue bug, so you must be referring to the PS3 version I am assuming?
