MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

<b>Improve Fielding</b>
Something isn't right. I'm glad that there's options available to us. I'm currently playing on auto. Transitioning isn't right yet. I'm hoping for continued work here.

<b>TV Style Presentation</b>
I wish MLB would work with SCEA and properly help promote the game. I love what some vendors, media outlets, and merchants have brought with the TV style presentation in EA's Madden and 2K's NBA. The thought of applying this style to the show has me dreaming for this now.

<b>Gameplay AI</b>
Better bullpen management and roster decisions.
Hoping this finally gets fixed: At home, with score tied. Let home team's closer start top of 9th inning unless stamina or injury prevents him.

Can't wait for The Show 15!

1.- Logos postseason in hats

2.- Postseason towels fans

3.- New equipment catcher

4.- Create franchise and stadium

1. Sharper graphics, particularly player faces.

2. Better franchise immersion. (something similar to what 2k had -- headlines that highlight top performances for each team).

3. User stats (again, 2k nailed this. Details hitting/pitching user stats with righty/lefty splits).

4. More uniform slots (including the Expos throwbacks).

5. Revamped commentary.

6. Historic stadiums (including Tiger Stadium, Candlestick Park and Ebbets Field)

More things I'd like to see but highly doubt we ever will:

1. Weekly highlights show in franchise (similar to NFL 2k5).

2. Players wearing team uniforms in All-Star Game.

3. The ability to use fewer teams in custom season/franchise and set up divisions how we like (for the purposes of historical rosters for pre-1961 eight-team leagues, 1969-76 six-team divisions, etc.)

This is the best video game I've ever played, but implementing some of these features would enhance it even more.

A more "Ultimate Team Esque" card game with no created players, tons of legends and plenty of offline challenges. Like NBA's myTeam mode but better. Baseball should have the best card game....

Totally agree. Diamond Dynasty is a cool concept but the thought of permanently losing players is a huge turnoff for me. I understand why some people like it but I much prefer the UT/myTeam approach.

And I agree about the Legends. Of course there's the licensing issue, but could you imagine pulling a Babe Ruth card? Man...

Ok:
As for Online play, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE limit the frequency of check swings!!! Every opponent I play against literally check swings EVERY SINGLE BALL out of the strike zone! You wanna make MLB The Show realistic right? Right!?!? Alrighty then, make it happen!!
Also, lower the high part of the strike zone, just a LITTLE TEENY TINY bit. Those high strikes are a bit questionable.
Make some animations for outfielders so that they can show some urgency when trying to get the ball back to the infield.
Stealing bases: Make stealing bases take skill!! All a user has to do is press L2 and the computer jumps for them. That"s stupid!! Make it about the USER, not dependent on the computer!!
Default online hitting difficulty should be on LEGEND. Straight LEGEND. No Hall of Fame, no All Star, no ANY, if one wants to play an online RANKED match, the difficulty should be on LEGEND. Oh, and guess pitch OFF online RANKED matches should be default setting. (I also personally think balks should be turned off too by default setting in ORMs; why should I have to wait a whole entire hour just to throw a baseball? Nobody has time for all that! But I guess it ain't all that important. ORMs default presentation setting should always be on Fast Play too; hurry the game up, because again, nobody has time for that. In a situation where my opponent and I could be in like the 6th inning, we're in the freaking 3RD.)
Anything else?
Oh yeah, anything "Too Early" or "Very Early", or "Very Late" or "Too Late" should be a straight MISS. Too many foul balls going on.
Y'all probably about to dog me for this, but go ahead... I'm Done.

Oh and I forgot, Quick Counts: OFF should be a default setting for online ranked matches.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

One pet peeve is having 25, 90+ overall players after about 5 years in franchise with that number continuously growing year in and year out.

Plenty more that y'all have mentioned.

I would like to see (Weather) like Rainout and play Double Headers!! Editing All of Mangers Names!! I would like to see more umpires during the post seasons and the World Series!!

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

I have played every show since 06. I feel like it's the best baseba sim sinc MVP 05. With that being said, they could improve it.

1) Commentary must go. It's been the same old stale lines every year, it's time to bring in a new team. Just don't have Harold Reynolds record anything, guy is annoying as hell.

2) Relocation. Have the ability for your franchise team to relocate and the option to build a new stadium from scratch for that teams new city. The MVP series had this to an extent on the PS2, so it shouldn't be that hard for the capabilities of the PS4.

3) Team uniforms in the all star game. They can make the players use pink bats on Mother's Day, or blue equipment on Father's Day, but they can make the all star players wear their correct team uniforms for the all star game?

4) Face scanning. With the new generation of consoles this should just be an automatic for every sports game.

5) Stats!! Baseball, more than any other sport, is a statistic sport. They follow stats for everything. WAR is a huge stat and should be implemented. Also stats between pitcher vs batter match ups. I want to know how Matt Kemp hits against Adam Wainwright. I want to know what Matt Kemp averages in Busch stadium, compared to Dodger stadium. Also, what does a batter hit against a certain team. For example: Vlad Gurrero used to hit something like .490 against my Rangers. I hated seeing him come up to bat against us cause I knew he had the highest average of any player ever against the Rangers.

6) More immersion in RTTS. More of a story for this mode. Or something cool, that a friend and I were talking about, but not sure how it'd work out: say he creates a RTTS guy, and I create one, then we can both enter the draft and get drafted but play RTTS online with each other, kinda of like an online franchise, but your playing with your RTTS characters in the same season. Like I said, not sure how this would work, but would be cool.

On a side note, to the OP: How the hell are you doing!! Chris. It's Chance W. We played baseball together in our younger days. I thought it was hilarious when I found this post and saw your Tornado Titans pic up there, then clicked and saw it said Chris Sanner, from OKC.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

I mentioned this before 14 came out when Ramone was streaming. I'd love to use the touch pad for quick pick offs.
Also maybe use a swipe is challenges are put in this year. Have an option to have the umpires calls come through the controller speakers.
If you trade a player, instead of a cartoon have a way to "paste" a hat over theirs and have an option to fix others teams players who were traded.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

Give us the option to turn the fielding arrow off in RTTS. I know how to play baseball in real life, I don't need some stupid arrow to tell me where the ball is...

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

In franchise I'd like to see GM contracts so we can change teams mid franchise mode and change it up after you build a great team. Also be able to be fired if you don't meet goals or demands of the owner.

Stats. I need more. I need something to make me want to continue to play the game.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

MLBTS 14 was my first go around--and needless to say I was impressed (as I was a XB360 convert playing 2K (lol)).

The one thing that REALLY killed this game for me was the release date. I believe last year was an anomaly with it being the first next gen rendition of the game--but will the release date be presumably earlier this year? Like, it will be released prior to Opening Day?

I'd really like to be able to 'practice' and such through Spring Training anxiously awaiting Opening Day...

(Sorry if this has already been addressed...)
